Role Summary
At Fortell, we’re building a better hearing aid–one that helps people hear clearly, even in the noisiest places. As our Marketing Designer, you will own the visual identity and brand expression that attracts patients, earns their trust, and turns them into lifelong advocates. This role is one of the most influential at the company: your work will shape every surface a patient sees and touches across the entire journey from first brand impression through daily product use.
Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, you will help set the brand design strategy, establish and evolve our visual language, and execute world-class creative across all consumer touchpoints. This is a highly strategic player-coach role–you are both the guardian of Fortell’s brand and a hands-on craft leader producing beautiful, conversion-driving design.
Your mission: Create a brand that is emotionally magnetic, clinically credible, and so delightful to interact with that people are proud to show and share it.
