🏢 About Aventon

Aventon is at the forefront of sustainable mobility, designing e-bikes that are both innovative and enjoyable. As a rapidly growing brand, we value creativity and impact, offering a remote-first culture where your designs directly influence how people experience eco-friendly transportation.

About This Role

As Senior Graphic Designer, you'll lead the visual storytelling across all channels—from digital ads to retail packaging—shaping how Aventon connects with riders. Your work will be central to product launches and brand evolution, making every design a piece of the movement toward sustainable living.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a standup with the marketing team to align on an upcoming product launch, then move to designing email templates and social ads. After lunch, you could be refining packaging mockups in Illustrator, followed by a feedback session with the creative director. The afternoon might involve animating a short video for Instagram and wrapping up print-ready files for a catalog.

🎯 Who Aventon Is Looking For

  • A designer with 5+ years of experience who has a proven track record of elevating brand identity through multi-channel campaigns, not just creating one-off assets.
  • Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and can collaborate seamlessly with marketing, product, and sales teams to translate business goals into compelling visuals.
  • An expert in Adobe Creative Suite, especially After Effects for motion graphics, and comfortable with both print and digital production requirements.
  • A visual storyteller who can show a portfolio rich with brand development, marketing campaigns, and e-commerce design, specifically for lifestyle or consumer goods brands.

📝 Tips for Applying to Aventon

1

Tailor your portfolio to highlight e-bike or outdoor/lifestyle brand work; include case studies showing how your designs increased engagement or sales.

2

In your resume, explicitly list your experience with multi-channel campaigns (email, social, print, web) and mention any work with packaging or retail displays.

3

Research Aventon's current visual identity and suggest one specific evolution in your cover letter—show you understand their brand and have ideas.

4

Include motion graphics samples (e.g., animated social ads or product videos) since After Effects is required.

5

Use a clean, modern PDF portfolio that loads quickly and is optimized for viewing on a screen—avoid heavy files or clunky navigation.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Express genuine enthusiasm for sustainable mobility and e-bikes, connecting your personal values to Aventon's mission.", 'Highlight a specific project where you rebranded or refreshed a visual identity across multiple channels, quantifying results if possible.', "Mention your collaborative process and how you've worked with cross-functional teams to align design with marketing goals.", 'Show that you understand the e-bike market and can speak to how design influences customer perception and brand loyalty.']

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic portfolio with no e-bike or outdoor lifestyle work; it shows lack of industry interest.
  • Ignoring the motion graphics requirement—failing to include any After Effects or animation samples can be a dealbreaker.
  • Applying with a resume that lists years of experience but no clear examples of multi-channel brand work or campaign results.
