OVERVIEW
Switch is on the lookout for a Freelance 2D Designer to work with one of the most recognised brands in car rental. You'll work with an established in-house creative team, across a broad portfolio of international brands where your work will be seen by millions. You're a designer with an eye for the details others miss. You're as comfortable owning a project solo as you are working with a team, and you know how to take a brand's DNA and turn it into something that captures attention - whether that's a social post, a brochure, or a full campaign. You'll report directly to the Creative Director and hit the ground running in a fast-paced, collaborative environment that rewards people who bring flair, precision and proactivity to everything they make.
