Descripción del empleo

Concreteworks and MANOS by Concreteworks are seeking an experienced, visually sophisticated Content & Brand Designer to help shape how our work is experienced across digital and physical platforms.

This role combines original short-form video production, graphic design, and visual storytelling, with an emphasis on communicating the materials, products, people, and processes behind our work.

We're looking for a multidisciplinary creative professional with a strong point of view—someone who can independently recognize compelling stories, develop original concepts, and bring them to life through thoughtful filming, editing, design, and written content.

Working closely with our Head of Product, you'll have significant creative ownership over the day-to-day visual expression of MANOS while supporting Concreteworks' broader marketing and communications. You'll help translate established brand strategy into a consistent stream of original content, developing creative approaches rather than relying on prescribed concepts or detailed direction.

This is a hands-on position with regular access to our design studio and fabrication facility in San Leandro. You'll have the opportunity to document the making of architectural and sculptural concrete work, from early prototypes to finished installations.
