Summary
To ensure that Push DAO continues to scale and create high-quality promotional materials for marketing and events, the DAO Council is looking to recruit a designer to meet our growing needs. The Push DAO designer is a part-time role, assisting the DAO Council with creating images, graphics, and everything related for the various DAO events we hold and all marketing contexts.
What are the core problems this position solves?
As briefly mentioned in the summary above, the DAO is continuously scaling. As a result, we are holding more and more of our own events while also participating in further partner events. Currently, @Rene and the Push Protocol/Foundation design team are creating all promotional materials. This creates a bottleneck, as despite being the DAO Marketing Lead, Rene is not a designer by profession, and the Push Design team already has their hands full with the work they need to do for the Foundation.
DAOs need to be as agile as possible and this individual will help us to do that. As of now, they need a lead time of about one week when we request designs from them, and this is not always possible in practice due to the fast-moving nature of Push DAO.
Responsibilities
- Preparing further brand assets for Push DAO as needed
- Preparing infographics/images for social media-based announcements
- Preparing brand assets/images/infographics for events, both virtual and IRL
- Ad-hoc additional design work as agreed upon between the individual and the DAO Council
- Being available on a part-time basis is equivalent to 10-15 or so hours a week.
Requirements
Must have:
- Be an active community member or contributor to Push DAO (These individuals will be priority-one from the start).
- Knowledge of Blockchain and Web3: Familiarity with blockchain technology, smart contracts, and the principles of decentralization.
- Graphic Design: Ability to create visually appealing graphics, logos, and branding materials.
- Brand Identity: Ability to establish and maintain a cohesive brand identity that resonates with the current Push Protocol design sensibilities.
- Design Software: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, Figma, InVision, or other design software.
- Flexibility: Ability to create visually appealing designs in a short period of time (under 24h) and adapt to the rapidly evolving needs of Push DAO.
- Creativity: Ability to come up with new and aesthetic designs that will eventually evolve into the DAO’s own unique design language.
Beneficial/Nice to have:
- Have a portfolio of previous experience as a designer, with examples of designs you have created.
- Strong communication skills to work effectively with the DAO Council.
- Have experience working online with teammates from different time zones.

- Compensated in PUSH token
