At Stance, we believe everything starts and ends with our people. Self-reliant in our attitude, and entrepreneurial in our ethos, we have grit, guts and gratitude. Stance is a culture that cannot be duplicated - where smart, ambitious, and positive people thrive.

In 2009, we took what was once a stagnant staple and transformed socks into one of the market's most exciting accessories. By unlocking the potential of a canvas too often overlooked, Stance ignited a cultural movement around the world that has attracted visionary artists, athletes and icons to embrace our positive message of individuality and creativity. In the years since, our canvas for self-expression has expanded from toe to head by way of underwear, apparel and headwear. Through innovative materials, superior comfort and artistic design that is the bedrock ethos of our brand, Stance can now be found in over 40 countries for anyone looking to defy convention. We are Stitched Different®.

About the Role

The purpose of this position is to support brand and design teams across digital, social, print and visual outputs. As a Brand Designer, systems thinking and building for scale comes naturally to you and you enjoy bringing a high level of detailed execution to every asset you create. You understand the power of scale and can seamlessly build connectivity and cohesion across all brand touchpoints and channels.

Color, typography, composition and grid systems are where you’re most proficient, but enjoy exploring new ways of working in motion, retouching or illustration. Translating product narratives and brand stories into visual systems is where you excel, and you’re comfortable designing from scratch or responding to an established design direction.

Your background has a range of projects and brands that will bring value to both production and concepting stages of creative execution. You’re comfortable owning multiple projects at once in a fast paced environment and maintain a passion for the work no matter how large or small the task may be. Above all, precision, confidence in your craft, and meeting deadlines are inherent in your process.
