Brand Designer

Ahrefs helps marketers get their brands found online, in search, in AI answers and on social. We’ve been bootstrapped and profitable for fifteen years, with no investors and no board.

Many people meet Ahrefs in person, at our booths at conferences and at our own events like Ahrefs Evolve. We want everything they see there, and everything they take home, to look as good as the product. That’s this job.

You’ll own how Ahrefs looks off the screen. You’ll take a stand from first sketch to print-ready files, design the brochures and books we hand out, and make sure everything that leaves the printer is right. You’ll work with our marketing and events teams and deal directly with printers and production contractors.

• Conference stands. Develop the concept and visual layout for our booths, from the first idea to a design a contractor can build.
• Event materials. Banners, backdrops, wall panels, signage, registration desks, and everything else that makes an event space look like Ahrefs.
• Print and publications. Design and lay out brochures, booklets, catalogs, books, magazines and other multi-page pieces.
• The brand, in every format. Develop visual concepts and adapt our identity so it works on a 6-metre wall and a business card alike.
• Production. Prepare print-ready files, and work directly with printing companies and contractors until it’s made right.
• Several things at once. There’ll usually be a stand, a booklet and a batch of signage on the go at the same time.

• You’re fluent in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, and comfortable in Figma.
• You know print production properly: prepress, bleed and colour, paper and materials, and what a printer needs from you.
• You’ve designed for events or exhibitions, and multi-page publications, and can show us.
• You sweat the details and own the final result. If something comes back from the printer wrong, you want to know why.
• You work independently, and keep several projects moving without someone chasing you.
• You use AI tools in your daily work, for technical tasks and to speed up your workflow.

• Blender or other 3D visualisation software. This isn’t required: clear 2D layouts and mockups are fine.

A portfolio is required. We’ll be looking most closely at:

• Conference and exhibition stand design.
• Event branding and visual materials.
• Brochures, catalogs, books and other multi-page publications.

• Portfolio review.
• A short paid test assignment. We’ll ask you to design one leaflet or one visual concept for a conference stand. It’s paid because it’s real work, and it’s short because your time matters.
• Interviews with the team.

We believe in giving smart people real ownership and not micromanaging them. We value honesty, results and simple solutions over complicated ones, and you’ll work with a small, low-ego team where your work is seen by thousands of people at every event.

Ahrefs does not engage with agencies or third-party recruitment providers for the roles we hire for. If we need help, we’ll let you know.
