Graphic Designer

About This Opportunity

Savvy is on a mission to make exceptional stays more accessible by creating a vacation rental experience that's more transparent, more trustworthy, and more direct.

This isn't about following rigid brand guidelines—you'll help create them. We need a versatile designer who can wear multiple hats and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty.
