Communication Designer in Real Estate

Yandex Real Estate is one of the country's largest online aggregators, offering properties on the primary and secondary housing markets. We help people find and choose a property, making the processes of buying, selling, and renting real estate transparent, simple, and clear. We also work with the Yandex Rent brand — it's a separate product in the real estate services market designed to simplify and speed up the process of renting and leasing housing long-term.

We are looking for a Senior Communication Designer with a focus on building and developing landing pages and web for our team.

We need a person who is close in spirit, views, and specialization. We expect you to be proactive, ready to find solutions independently, able to present and defend them to colleagues. Focus on results, commitment to a systematic approach, and the ability to look at the analyzed task from different angles are important.

What tasks await you

Developing web communications Your focus at work is supporting and developing digital communications. You will improve the quality and visual level of the brand's landing pages, develop a landing page design system, and implement it in related projects. You will need to develop communications for landing pages, working collaboratively with editors. Additionally, you will need to work with smaller formats: email newsletters, banners, app stories, and other communications. The role involves finding creative solutions and creating key visuals for communication on the described media.

Supporting and developing the design system You will develop the existing identity, support and expand the design system, and create guides and style manuals. We need help finding new visual solutions, building a design system to be used by adjacent departments, contractors, and new designers. You will develop guides and describe rules for their use, control material consistency, and strive to improve the quality level of the media.

Art Direction We always have a large volume of tasks, so we are assisted by adjacent teams. You will oversee the work of external specialists and contractors — technical studios, creative agencies, illustrators. You will need to control the consistency of communications and the quality of design solutions at all project stages: from idea to implementation.

Project management and idea advocacy You will need to engage in processes, manage projects, and advocate for them with stakeholders, be responsible for achieving common goals, influence results and analyze them, and help find solutions in changing conditions.
