Junior Brand Designer

About Plum:

Plum is an employee insurance and health benefits platform focused on making health insurance simple, accessible and inclusive for modern organisations. Healthcare in India is seeing a phenomenal shift, with inflation in healthcare costs 3x that of general inflation. A majority of Indians are unable to afford health insurance on their own, and so as many as 600 million Indians will likely have to depend on employer-sponsored insurance. Plum is on a mission to provide the highest quality insurance and healthcare to 10 million lives by FY2030, through companies that care. Plum is backed by Tiger Global and Peak XV Partners.

Why is design important to Plums marketing:

Design has played an integral in the success of all our marketing efforts at Plum. Every campaign led by our marketing team – our reports, our playbooks, our campaigns, and even our games – has its own unique sub-brand. This not only helps us with recall but also lets us expand, experiment, and build our existing visual brand. Every piece of social media content that people have come to associate with and love about Plum – our album art, sending a Plum to space, Rupi Kaur poems, and our customer announcements – has a visual quality that's designed to delight. Our marketing isn't about being traditional, safe, or boring. And for our aspirations to translate into outcomes, we need someone who can complement our ideas with a compelling visual brand.

Because pictures speak a thousand words.
