Graphic Designer, Merchandise & Swag

About Revel

We are a fast-growing startup with a strong engineering culture and a focus on solving deeply technical problems with clean, thoughtful design.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Graphic Designer focused on merchandise and swag to join our marketing team. This is a mid-senior level role (6+ years of experience) with high ownership over how Revel shows up in the physical world: the apparel and swag that investors, clients, partners, and teammates actually wear, use, and keep.

This person will drive our merch program end-to-end, from concept through production and fulfillment. You will design products people genuinely want, working within Revel's brand standards, and build a program that extends the brand across conferences, events, customer touchpoints, and team culture.

- Concept and design apparel, swag, and physical goods (hats, tees, hoodies, stickers, patches, drinkware, desk items, event merch, limited-run pieces) from sketch to finished product.

- Manage production end-to-end: source and vet vendors, prepare print-ready files and tech packs, review samples and proofs, and manage quality, timelines, and budgets.

- Lead print and physical design projects for events, including conference materials, signage, booth elements, and packaging.

- Design kits and gifting programs for customers, partners, recruits, new hires, and investors such as onboarding boxes and event swag bags.

- Apply Revel's brand identity thoughtfully across physical products, and flag where the brand needs to stretch or evolve for new formats.

- Create supporting visual assets for merch launches, including product mockups, photography direction, web store and Webflow assets, and social content.

- Contribute to video treatments and light motion work that showcase products and drops.

- Partner closely with the brand and product design team to keep merchandise consistent with product and marketing surfaces.

- Track performance to inform what we make next.
