Illustrator Graphic Designer

About Longship Marketing Longship Marketing is a remote-first agency helping B2C e-commerce brands grow through performance marketing and e-commerce operations. We work across a range of consumer-facing categories, building campaigns, creative, and storefront experiences that move products. Our team is fully distributed across Europe and beyond, and we operate async-first: more Slack and Loom than back-to-back calls, more ownership than oversight. We're a small, hands-on team — every hire has real visibility into the work and direct access to decision-makers, including the CEO. We care about craft, speed, and finding creative directions that aren't boxed into one narrow aesthetic.

The AI angle (important) We are looking for someone who is genuinely excited about working with AI, not just tolerating it. Concretely: you use AI tools to rapidly develop design concepts and drafts, then use manual graphic design tools such as Adobe and Figma to produce polished and refined designs. The initial drafts are rapidly produced and iterated on with AI, final versions are crafted and stay hand-led. If you see AI as a threat to be avoided rather than a lever to pull, this isn't the right fit. What You'll Need A strong commercial portfolio showing illustration and design work for real brands or products Genuine comfort in at least one of: children's products, sports/motivation, or fantasy/sci-fi themes Figma as your
