Company mission
To accelerate the world’s ability to learn, discover and communicate science.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience at a fast-paced Saas / PLG company
- Proven experience in creating multimedia content (a plus if it’s in the science industry)
- Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro) and other relevant design tools (Figma, Cava, etc.). Ability to quickly learn new software
- Ability to analyze selling points or software features and translate them into compelling visual stories through quick, engaging visuals
- Strong portfolio showcasing multimedia design work, including graphics for social media platforms, GIFs, and videos, particularly in scientific contexts
What the job involves
- You can think of BioRender as the ‘Figma/Canva for scientists’, with a suite of web-based graphics communication products to empower scientists to create beautiful scientific visuals and presentations with ease
- Our goal as a team is to empower users and our internal team to fully leverage BioRender by creating high-quality content that adds significant value (valuable enough that it can function as a standalone product)
- The Senior Graphic Designer (Multimedia Marketing) will contribute to this mission by creating visually compelling and scientifically accurate multimedia content
- This includes static graphics, GIFs, and videos, tailored for platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram Reels, Reddit, and YouTube
- The aim is to capture the ‘wow’ moments of BioRender, enhancing our marketing efforts and clearly communicating the value of BioRender to customers
- Design and produce multimedia content pieces that align with BioRender’s brand and marketing strategy
- Create platform-specific graphics and multimedia content, including LinkedIn posts, Instagram Reels, Reddit graphics, 1-pagers, GIFs, videos, etc. ensuring high quality and brand consistency
- Collaborate with the marketing and other teams to ensure all content is accurate and engaging, meeting project deadlines consistently
- Develop and maintain a library of reusable design assets and templates to streamline content creation processes within X months
- Create multimedia graphics for high-impact campaigns that boosts engagement and brand recognition
Our take
One of the best ways for science students and experts to communicate ideas is through diagrams, but not everyone has the illustration skills to pull this off. Whilst computer graphics can be used instead of manually drawing scientific imagery, the lack of a dedicated resource for such images prevents diagrams from being consistent and professional.
Biorender hosts thousands of pre-made icons and templates to be used in the creation of diagrams across over 30 different life science fields. The resources follow consistent quality standards and can be dragged and dropped within the platform to create scientific diagrams, to be used by students, teachers, labs, and educational institutions.
Other visual libraries that include scientific icons and templates exist for the creation of diagrams, but Biorender has presented a novel idea with its exhaustive library, offering to produce missing icons on demand within 48 hours. The entire library is free to use alongside basic design features by individuals for educational purposes, with more advanced features and paid licenses being available for labs and institutions. Its success at visualising complex diagrams and information has helped Biorender achieve several rounds of substantial funding.
