About Recurrent

Buying a used car has been essentially the same for 75 years: what’s the mileage, what’s the vehicle history, get a mechanic to check out the moving parts and haggle over the price. As electric vehicles (EVs) hit the used market, buyers are changing the way they research and buy.

Recurrent is the future of how used electric cars are bought and sold. We’ll be entering the established online auto marketplace business on the basis of a unique differentiator, our independent EV battery reports. As the first mover on used EV battery analysis, we have the best set of cross-manufacturer battery aging data to develop the most accurate predictive algorithm for future battery life and range.

Why are we doing this? Road vehicles represent 20% of carbon emissions globally, and have accounted for the vast majority of transportation emissions increase since 1970. Electrifying passenger vehicles, in parallel with transitioning our power grid to cleaner energy sources, really moves the needle on climate. We’re going to be a critical part of making that shift -- facilitating the secondary market.

Your Work With Us

This web and visual design position is the chance to shape a brand that is quickly evolving to keep up with growing demand for electric vehicles. We have a clear vision of where we want to go, but Recurrent needs your trained eye and savvy keystroke to get there. The role will include:

• Adapting digital content to have a more approachable B2C brand look and feel
• Building new landing and product pages in a CMS (e.g. Webflow, Wordpress, Drupal) for EV drivers
• Work closely with the marketing and customer success teams to create new visual storytelling content
• Designing social media campaigns and creative assets to foster new driver engagement
• Data visualization and infographic design for content marketing
• Opportunities to work with our engineering and product teams on front-end development and grow in that direction over time

What We're Looking For

• Ability to advance the brand with modern design principles and an conversational, fun brand tone that makes stressful or complex topics more approachable
• Confidence with the building blocks of front end development (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript)
• A passion for visual design and experience with graphic design software
• Someone with the interpersonal soft skills to collaborate with a small, fast-moving team
• And the heads-down work time independence to be successful in a remote working environment

Hours

We’re open to contractor or part-time options depending on your skill set and other obligations or interests in life. Part-time/contractor compensation will be pro-rated based on market salary rates.

Our Hiring and Team Mindset

We are an equal opportunity employer and highly value diversity at our company. We believe that everyone in the tech industry and at our company has to be committed to anti-racism. We actively encourage applications from people of all walks of life. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

This job can be based anywhere in the United States. We’re a remote-first company that is currently clustered in the Pacific Northwest, but we want to work with great folks wherever they are.
