Who we are
Hallow is on a mission to help people pray. We’re the No. 1 prayer app in the world, with more than 1 billion prayers prayed across 150+ countries. We're building a product that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28).
Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church's spirituality with world-class product and content execution. And we need a world-class team to make it happen.
We launched the app in December 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded more than 25 million times with over 250,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission-driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.
We are a startup. We move quickly. We are small but we take big swings. Each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard—but deeply meaningful—work. We'd be honored & humbled if you'd consider joining us.
TLDR: We are looking for a driven motion designer to help build and elevate Hallow’s brand experiences.
What You'll Do
- Collaborate: You’ll be joining a small-but-mighty team of graphic designers, illustrators, and animators. As an in-house designer, you will tackle requests from every part of the company and ensure that Hallow’s brand is best represented everywhere it’s seen.
- Design: You will create motion-based designs for marketing assets for commercials, social media, and trailers for major content launches. Experience in Figma and Adobe Suite (especially After Effects) is a must. 3D knowledge is a big bonus.
- Adaptable: Expect to be thrown into new projects without a perfect brief. Sometimes, you will be the one building the brief and leading the charge. We’re looking for a creative and curious mind who is willing to troubleshoot and test concepts quickly.
What We're Looking For
- Passion: First & foremost, we’re looking for someone excited about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun.
- Collaborative: You communicate clearly, take and implement feedback well, and work cross-functionally with diverse teams to help reach company objectives as well as your team's.
- Creative: You have a firm grasp on design fundamentals: color, composition, typography, and rhythm. While comfort with Figma and the Adobe Suite is important, we care more about your design taste and ability to execute your ideas clearly and with impact.
- Strategic: You understand how to translate company and objectives into visual narratives. You consider not just individual pieces but how they all build up to the brand story.
- Flexible: You are comfortable navigating vague or evolving parameters. You thrive in fast-moving environments without sacrificing quality.
- Experienced: You have 2–4 years of experience designing brand systems and campaign visuals across platforms. You’re proficient in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and After Effects. You have a portfolio that shows strong visual design and animation skills. Bonus: You have copywriting instincts and love shaping narrative and tone through visuals.
What You'll Love
- Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Every day we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives.
- Ownership: When a company is this small, every employee is a core team member with an outsized impact. Help build a meaningful brand experience for our users.
- Flexibility: HQ is in Chicago (USA); this position is remote. We’re super flexible with location/hours within the U.S.; we don’t care when you work, just that it gets done.
- Compensation: We will pay competitive market rates for this hourly, part-time contract position.
We're a small team and we care deeply about each new hire, so sometimes it can take us a while to get through the hiring process for these roles. Apologies in advance for any delays. We'll do our best to keep you updated throughout the process, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through everything.
We are honored that you'd consider joining the team and look forward to connecting with you.
Best,
Alex at Hallow
