Jollity & Co/Daydream Society is a female-led business that is changing the market in online retail with distinctive design, cutting edge product development and a unique platform highlighting other small businesses, artisans and creatives around the world.

Who we are:
It all started with a party! Since launching in 2016, Jollity & Co has been obsessed with curating a collection of party decorations, giftable, and tableware items that create beautiful and memorable parties and events. We love parties and finding a reason to celebrate every event! We currently manage three online retail shops and two wholesale lines. Before you apply for a position, please visit our website and learn what we are about.

What we’re looking for:

We are a small design-forward group that specializes in high-end party products. We are looking to hire a talented illustrator to create high-quality artwork for product design in our party and gift company. As an illustrator, you are required to work closely with our team to develop inspiring artwork that will attract our target audience. You will be responsible for formulating concepts and rendering draft illustrations from written words, models, sketched ideas, and from your imagination.

To be successful as an illustrator, you should be a highly artistic person with a passion for creative technologies. You should be able to draw, paint and work on digital software in a variety of styles and mediums. Unlike artists, Illustrators have set deadlines and must always communicate with the company and clients on the overall progress and development of the artistic image. Ultimately, an illustrator is a creative individual who can turn concepts into artistic marketable images.

Applicants must submit a cover letter, resume, and portfolio examples in line with our brands when applying or they will not be considered. We are not looking for remote or freelance applicants at this time.
