DAYBREAKER is hiring: Junior Creative Director / Designer - DAYBREAKER in New Yo

DAYBREAKER · New York City, US, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

About the Role


Daybreaker’s visual identity is central to everything we do. It draws people in at 5 AM, attracts world-class partners, and turns first-timers into lifelong community members. As our Junior Creative Director and Designer, you will own and evolve the visual language of Daybreaker across social, brand collateral, and merchandise — bringing our world to life with originality, consistency, and craft.


This role is designed for a high-taste, high-output creative who is early in their leadership journey and ready to step up. You’ll work directly with Founder Radha Agrawal, a deeply intuitive and visionary creative leader, and collaborate with a joyful, fast-moving, in-person team shaping one of the most dynamic community movements in the world.


You will be trusted to make decisions, move quickly, and execute at a high level without constant oversight. This is not a role for someone who waits for approval — it’s for someone who can carry the creative bar, run with ideas, and deliver work that is unmistakably Daybreaker.


In-person presence in New York City is a firm requirement. You will be at events, in creative reviews, and embedded in the daily energy of the brand.


What You’ll Do


Social Media and Content



  • Own the visual direction of Daybreaker across Instagram, TikTok, and beyond

  • Design and produce scroll-stopping graphics, motion assets, and templates

  • Collaborate with photographers, videographers, and the community to shape the brand’s digital presence

  • Maintain a cohesive aesthetic while continuously pushing the creative forward


Brand and Marketing Collateral



  • Design marketing materials for events, partnerships, and campaigns

  • Create decks, one-pagers, and sponsor materials that reflect the full power of the brand

  • Help evolve and uphold brand guidelines across all touchpoints

  • Partner with the partnerships team on co-branded creative that elevates both sides


Merchandise and Product Design



  • Concept and design merchandise people genuinely want to wear

  • Own the design process from concept through production-ready files

  • Work with vendors and manufacturers to bring products to life

  • Think beyond graphics — build products that extend the Daybreaker identity and community


Who You Are



  • A highly motivated designer with a strong point of view and a portfolio that grabs attention instantly

  • Early in your career but ready for real ownership and creative responsibility

  • Fast, responsive, and able to turn around high-quality work quickly without sacrificing taste

  • Able to take a project from brief to final execution independently

  • Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and comfortable in Figma

  • Deeply aligned with the Daybreaker aesthetic: euphoric, community-driven, maximalist with intention, rooted in wellness and wonder

  • A strong collaborator who thrives in an in-person, high-energy environment

  • Comfortable receiving direction from a visionary founder while also contributing ideas and pushing the work forward

  • Based in New York City and excited to be on-site, including early morning events


Bonus



  • Motion graphics, video editing, or typography-forward design experience


What We’re Not Looking For


Someone who needs every decision approved before moving forward. This role requires creative confidence, speed, and ownership.


What We Offer



  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience

  • Direct creative mentorship from Founder Radha Agrawal

  • The opportunity to shape the visual identity of a globally recognized movement

  • Access to all Daybreaker events

  • A joyful, creative, purpose-driven team environment

  • Real ownership and autonomy from day one
