About Us

Yakatoshi & Co. is a premium Japanese-inspired travel accessories brand, currently focused on our innovative collapsible cabin suitcase.

We sell primarily in the United States through Amazon and our own Shopify website.

We are looking for an experienced, creative and commercially minded graphic designer to improve our Amazon product listings and produce engaging graphics for our Instagram page.

We are not simply looking for someone who can make attractive graphics. We want someone who understands how to use design to sell products.

Your Responsibilities

Phase 1 - Amazon Listing Optimisation (First Week)

Your first assignment will be to redesign and improve the graphics for our Amazon product listing, including our A+ Content.

We expect this initial project to be completed within your first 10 working hours, using our existing professional product photography.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Creating premium Amazon product listing images, including infographics, lifestyle images, feature highlights and comparison graphics.
• Designing high-quality Amazon A+ Content that communicates our product's unique selling points.
• Independently researching successful suitcase and travel accessory listings on Amazon for inspiration.
• Identifying the most important customer benefits and translating them into engaging visuals.
• Writing concise, persuasive English copy that highlights the product's benefits.
• Professionally editing and enhancing our existing product photography.
• Ensuring all graphics meet Amazon's image requirements.
• Maintaining a consistent premium brand identity across all designs.

We will provide access to our professional product photography and existing brand assets.

We expect you to bring your own creative ideas, conduct research independently and recommend improvements. We will not provide detailed instructions for every graphic.

Our goal is to have the complete Amazon listing graphics and A+ Content ready for upload by the end of your first week.

Phase 2 - Social Media & Marketing Graphics (Week 2 Onwards)

Once the Amazon listing has been completed, your primary responsibility will shift towards producing high-quality graphics for our Instagram page and other marketing channels.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Creating visually engaging Instagram posts and carousel graphics.
• Developing creative concepts that showcase our products and their benefits.
• Designing educational, promotional and lifestyle-focused content.
• Creating seasonal and holiday promotional graphics.
• Producing graphics for occasional website updates and marketing campaigns.
• Researching successful travel, lifestyle and premium consumer brands for inspiration.
• Proactively suggesting new content ideas that could increase engagement and attract potential customers.

We want someone who can take ownership of our visual content and consistently produce creative, high-quality work without needing constant direction.

You will work approximately 10 hours per week, and we expect you to manage your time efficiently while maintaining professional design standards.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of professional graphic design experience, preferably working with Amazon sellers or e-commerce brands.
• Advanced Photoshop skills, including photo manipulation and realistic product compositing.

• Ability to independently research competitors and develop creative ideas.
• Excellent attention to detail and strong time management skills.
• Ability to work independently without constant supervision.
• Reliable communication and the ability to meet agreed deadlines.

Working Arrangements

• 10 hours per week.
• Flexible working hours.
• Fully remote.
• Competitive hourly pay based on experience.
• Opportunity for a long-term working relationship.
• Potential for additional hours as the business grows.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, meets deadlines and consistently delivers high-quality results.
