Bengaluru, India The Ken Full time

The Ken_ is India’s first and largest subscriptions-based media company. Established in October 2016, we publish deeply reported, analytical and well-narrated stories every day. Our subscriber community, the majority of whom are in India, comprise innovative and successful entrepreneurs and senior executives; venture capitalists; policy makers; MBA students; and dozens of companies.

In the last seven years, The Ken has gained a distinctive identity and recognition for its editorial infographics, visualisations and illustrations. We are looking to add a new **Editorial Illustrator** to our Design team.

**About the role**

At The Ken, an Editorial Illustrator will help visualise complex ideas and stories. They will work closely with reporters to create rich illustrations that support the content, style and tone of the story. As our stories and newsletters are deeply reported and feature distinctive narratives, we are equally committed to making detailed, high-calibre visuals to appear alongside them.

While the Editorial Illustrator will often collaborate with reporters, they will also work independently to create graphics, comics and other standalone visuals. They will also work with our Product team to create visuals for our social media pages - especially our budding Instagram page.

Most importantly, the illustrator will have the opportunity to work on their own visual-driven stories such as this one. In the coming years, the scope of visual driven journalism will grow manifold at The Ken and the Editorial Designer will be the driver of this growth.

Apart from this, we also create data-led visuals and charts that will appear in our stories.

**Experience**

Proficiency in softwares like Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate required.

**What we offer**

One of our tenets is to offer the most competitive salaries and meaningful benefits we can to our colleagues.
- Great salaries
- The latest Apple Macbooks
- A flat, non-hierarchical and open culture
- A universal ESOP plan
- Health insurance for you and your family
- Cutting-edge learning opportunities, whether it be on journalism or subscriptions products
- Unlimited leaves
- Company-sponsored therapy

Additionally, we offer a unique work experience for our designers in these ways:

- **Attribution** — Designers are as much a part of the editorial process as editors and writers. While a story narrative progresses across different drafts, the designers and writers work in tandem to create unique infographics and illustrations that form standalone stories of their own. Because of the creativity and effort this process entails, every visual carries a designer attribution and is therefore in the public eye. Additionally, all our infographics have a special place of their own. This visual product is only available to our subscribers.
- **Teamwork** — We believe that every design team member gets to shape the language of design for The Ken with their individual strengths and skill sets.

**Compensation**

**Desirable attributes**
- **Self-driven and ambitious** — The success of this role is driven by what the owner makes of it. The charter is limitless and there are few obstacles (except time and bandwidth).
- **Bottom-up, first principles thinking** — There are no replicable templates or strategies to the design team at The Ken. The path to helping build a design team with a distinct identity in a media company requires deep, foundational thinking and understanding of design principles.
- **Creativity** — The problems that we intend to solve need a lot of creativity and out of the box thinking. Execution of our ideas needs to feel fresh, authentic and deeply personal. These form part of our core brand identity.
- **Communication and Storytelling** — Fundamentally, we are a product that tells stories. Your role is to tell stories as simply and effectively as possible through visuals.
- **Execution-focused** — We prioritise doing, and work in short, quick turnaround cycles.
- **Tenacity / Perseverance** - We value the consistent reward of passionately striving to achieve results. We also admire a reputation for not giving up.
- **Excellence / Ownership** - We set ourselves high standards of performance and expect the same of our teammates. You are expected to have a high sense of responsibility along with a drive to work outside your comfort zone.
- **Team Player** - The Ken design team is known for being approachable and we attribute this to our ability to overcome we-they. We value teammates that reach out to peers and are excited about collaboration.
- Understanding of multimedia layouts, typography and disability-friendly design.
- We are a flat organisation, prioritising speed, honesty, informality, accuracy, transparency, and subscriber-impact. Alignment with these values is a prerequisite.
