Expedia

As part of the Expedia Group global brand team, you will use your creative talent and eye for a perfect visual to bring our brand to life. Our brand was established a year ago to capture the power of the world’s travel platform, which includes some of the most well-known brands in travel, Expedia, Hotels.com, Travelocity, HomeAway and many more. As the new corporate-level brand is still in its early phases, you will play a key role in creating, managing, and bringing to life a world-class brand. This includes crystallizing our brand personality and visual expression, creating beautiful, strategic on-brand design, owning and updating our brand guidelines toolkit, and building relationships with designers across the company

Do you dream of designing every touchpoint for a user experience, from macro to micro? Do you playfully explore storytelling by iterating through diverse mediums? Do you crave the diligent structure of design systems that balance functionalism with soul? If so, we’re looking for you. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to help craft a brand that is in its early stages, and make it sing across every touchpoint you can think of.

We are a nimble, mighty team sharing a real passion for technology, travel, and the magic that happens when the two come together to make the world a better place. If you are ready to develop the brand for the world’s leading travel platform and join the team that PR Week has named a Best Place to Work for communications talent, this is the job for you. We are seeking a design professional, who is comfortable delivering against creative strategy, working across print, digital and experiential media, and who can create and be a champion for brand standards across multiple mediums.

You will be a central figure in the stewardship of the brand, including:

• Creative co-development of Expedia Group brand visual assets and guidelines across multiple media types
• Working with our in-house creative team, lead the creation of materials for internal and external communications across multiple audiences
• Design of key experiential moments for the Expedia Group brand
• Management of photo and illustration library; maintenance of the Expedia Group guidelines
• Engagement in design community cross- Expedia Group
• Partnership with Real Estate on how the brand comes to life in our physical spaces
• Support in creative guidance for usage of Expedia Group assets in motion (E.g. animation of logos, animation and illustration styles)

You’ll be the fit for this role if:

• You have amazing creative chops… ability to take a brief, interrogate it, and move quickly to create and sell design work that moves the brand forward
• You have experience in identity creation and development across all media and for multiple audience types
• You possess the ability to distill the essence of our brand personality in non-traditional mediums
• You are a systems-thinker - you approach each and every design with the thoughtful responsibility that all work needs to resonate and strengthen the greater whole of our brand ecosystem
• You are playfully creative; you can push our brand to have a unique, differentiated voice, even in the face of tactical asks
• Your love of brand harmony compels you to seek out and find new ways of working with global teams when brand injustices occur
• You are eager to re-imagine how we empower global teams (designers and non-designers) with tools and templates that produce unique, on-brand expressions which aren’t cookie-cutter
• You have excellent communication skills and ability to build relationships
• You have at least 5 years design leadership experience either in house or at an agency
