[Hiring] Designer, Collateral & Events @IPSY

Role Description

This role owns the design of IPSY’s printed collateral — the narrative and educational materials inside every subscription box — and provides creative support across IPSY’s event portfolio, from customer-facing activations to signature company events like the Brand & Creator Forum (IPSIES) and internal offsites. The role also supports packaging design for subscription boxes and related merchandise needs. It’s a role for a designer who can move fluidly between print-based editorial design and experiential/environmental creative, while maintaining IPSY’s brand standards across every touchpoint.

This position reports to the Sr. Manager, Art Direction and can be remote from any of the states that IPSY is authorized to hire.

  • Assist in establishing scope and deliverables in event planning.
