About the role

We are looking for a Brand Designer / Motion Designer to join our team — someone who believes brands are living systems, not just visual expressions. This role is for a designer with a deep background in building holistic, enduring brand systems that scale across product, marketing, and culture. You bring strong brand architecture thinking, refined craft, and a systems mindset. You understand how typography, motion, color, voice, and behavior work together to create meaning. You have experience shaping integrated efforts that live across product surfaces, campaigns, and emerging media. You’re comfortable operating across a wide range of touchpoints, from in-product moments to large-scale brand storytelling. You think conceptually but execute rigorously. When you have a vision, you can shepherd it from idea to launch with clarity, conviction, and minimal oversight. You are equally energized by defining the foundation and pushing creative expression forward.

Responsibilities

  • Help build and evolve cohesive brand systems that scale across product and marketing
  • Create high-quality design solutions and brand behaviors with a strong level of craft
  • Actively iterate on ideas and concepts, exploring broadly and refining thoughtfully
  • Be deeply hands-on from early exploration through final execution and production-ready delivery
  • Translate product UI and in-product experiences into compelling marketing moments
  • Partner closely with marketing, product design, and engineering to ensure alignment between product surfaces and external storytelling
  • Break down complex narratives into simple, clear, and emotionally resonant creative
  • Design conceptual brand expressions that communicate brand intention and value across channels

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience designing for brand, with demonstrated depth in building and evolving brand systems
  • Portfolio showcasing strong craft across brand identity, marketing campaigns, web, and motion
  • Experience translating brand strategy into compelling marketing expressions across multiple channels
  • Fluency across a broad range of design expression: digital, traditional, experiential, and ideas that drive earned media
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate creative thinking and design rationale
  • Proven track record of self-initiated projects and proactive creative problem-solving
  • Experience creating with new platforms and emerging technology (AI)
  • Link to an online portfolio showcasing your work (include link on resume)
  • Must be eligible to work in the US

Pay

$90-$95/hr
