aBlogtoWatch (ABTW) is looking for dedicated and experienced designers (anywhere in the world) to fulfill ongoing graphic design and web design duties for the world’s most popular digital watch publication. On a part-time basis, we need at least one primary senior designer but are also interested in additional designers who want to contribute their skills and passion to our publication. These are paid roles with an opportunity to grow which are ideal for a freelance designer. If you are a freelancer, or a designer looking for regular work on the side [and have a passion for aBlogtoWatch], this is a great opportunity for you as an independent contractor.

aBlogtoWatch is a lean and efficient organization so we need someone who knows the ropes. Our ask is for 3+ years of professional experience, as well as 3-5 years of relevant education and a diploma/degree from a reputable design program. This work is remote, so you can be anywhere in the world as long as you are fluent in English.

Our designer’s responsibilities will include (but are not limited to):

  • Creation of Photoshop compositions for our use in our online publications.
  • Building and editing decks/presentations in Adobe InDesign.
  • Web design to support or create new parts of the aBlogtoWatch website (including total redesigns).
  • Overseeing the making of promotional items/merchandise for ABTW related events and celebrations.

We also require that you have proficiency in the following design programs:

  • Adobe InDesign CC

  • Skype and Google Chat (for remote meetings/conferences)

Design expertise comes first, and thus we need someone who is skilled as a designer first and foremost. A knowledge of the online space is definitely a requirement, but we only require you to understand the web as a medium, knowing it’s boundaries and limitations when it comes to design. An interest in and general knowledge of mechanical watches is definitely a strong plus, so if your a designer who is passionate about watches but would like to learn more, this is your opportunity.

Please send us your resume, and either a PDF portfolio or link to your portfolio website. If you’ve never done any watch-related work in the past, don’t worry—we are looking for a creative mind with practical skills that can be applied to what we do.

So if you are a true design nerd, and you’d like to try working with a bunch of watch industry nerds, drop us a line (here) and show us what you got.
