Senior Brand Designer

Located in NYC (3 days in office) • Reports to the Head of Design

About the role

You'll own the brand work that runs every day across social, email, web, and paid channels, fully leading projects from first concept through delivery. For bigger moments like launches and event activations you'll work with our Head of Design to shape the creative direction, then execute. You'll own animation and motion work (a mix of in‑house and contract), build creative for national events, stadium graphics, and special projects, and collaborate closely with Marketing, Partnerships, and Engineering. Working directly with the founders, you’ll have the opportunity to influence the roadmap and help build the business.
