Graphic Designer, Merchandise & Swag

Role Overview

We are hiring a Graphic Designer focused on merchandise and swag to join our marketing team. This is a mid-senior level role (6+ years of experience) with high ownership over how Revel shows up in the physical world: the apparel and swag that investors, clients, partners, and teammates actually wear, use, and keep.

This person will drive our merch program end-to-end, from concept through production and fulfillment. You will design products people genuinely want, working within Revel's brand standards, and build a program that extends the brand across conferences, events, customer touchpoints, and team culture.

What You'll Do

• Own Revel’s merchandise and swag program, developing new product concepts, collections, and drops that customers, prospects, partners, and teammates want to wear and use.
• Concept and design apparel, swag, and physical goods (hats, tees, hoodies, stickers, patches, drinkware, desk items, event merch, limited-run pieces) from sketch to finished product.
• Manage production end-to-end: source and vet vendors, prepare print-ready files and tech packs, review samples and proofs, and manage quality, timelines, and budgets.
• Lead print and physical design projects for events, including conference materials, signage, booth elements, and packaging.
• Design kits and gifting programs for customers, partners, recruits, new hires, and investors such as onboarding boxes and event swag bags.
• Apply Revel's brand identity thoughtfully across physical products, and flag where the brand needs to stretch or evolve for new formats.
• Create supporting visual assets for merch launches, including product mockups, photography direction, web store and Webflow assets, and social content.
• Contribute to video treatments and light motion work that showcase products and drops.
• Partner closely with the brand and product design team to keep merchandise consistent with product and marketing surfaces.
• Track performance to inform what we make next.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in graphic or visual design, with a meaningful share of that work in merchandise, apparel, or physical product design.
• Experience working with or supporting technical, engineering-driven teams, and a feel for what that audience considers good swag.
• Experience with 3D design, product rendering, or motion graphics for product visualization.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating:
• Original merchandise and product concepts that have shipped
• The ability to translate a brand into physical goods with taste and restraint
• Strong typography, illustration, and layout skills
• High attention to detail, including print specs, color accuracy, and brand consistency
• Experience across both digital and print mediums
• Proficiency with:
• Figma
• Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.)
• Google Slides and/or PowerPoint
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment, balancing creative ambition with budgets and deadlines.

Nice to have

• Basic video editing and product photography experience.
• Experience running a merch store or fulfillment operation (Shopify, print-on-demand, or in-house).
• Experience managing production with vendors, including printers, embroiderers, and manufacturers, and a working knowledge of production methods (screen print, embroidery, DTG, enamel pins, woven labels, and so on).
• Background in hard tech industries (aerospace, defense, robotics, etc.) or a genuine love of engineering culture.
