Visual Information Designer

Rivet is hiring a Visual Information Designer to help translate strategic intent into clear, compelling visual expression across our most important audiences.

You will work from Rivet's foundational communication frameworks and help express them consistently and convincingly across executive, partner, customer, and public-facing contexts. The work requires strong design judgment, comfort with technical content, and an instinct for how visual clarity accelerates understanding and decision-making in high-stakes environments. Comfortability working with technical content and some experience in UI/UX design is strongly preferred.

• Some UI/UX experience is strongly preferred.
• The successful candidate will be an adaptable team player who is excited to join a fast-growing startup and contribute across several different projects.
• Advanced proficiency in modern presentation and visual design tools (e.g., PowerPoint or equivalent).
• Strong working knowledge of professional design software (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma).
• Ability to work across digital and print-oriented formats as needed.
• Experience supporting executive-level or enterprise audiences.
• Familiarity with defense, industrial, or other complex technical domains.
• Exposure to brand systems, templates, or scalable design frameworks.
• Comfortability working with both engineers and business strategists.

Responsibilities

• Translate strategy into visual clarity
• Support high-impact engagements
• Strengthen Rivet's visual message
• Design with context and intent
• Operate as a trusted creative partner

What Success Looks Like

• Rivet's materials feel cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably "Rivet," even as use cases and audiences vary.
• Complex ideas are easier to grasp, faster to brief, and more effective in driving alignment and momentum.
• Teams across the company trust the visual output as a force multipliernot just a finishing touch.
• Internal teams can move faster without sacrificing quality or consistency.

*Total compensation may vary within this range and is determined by years and level of relevant experience, job-related skills, education, and other factors. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for equity grants and other forms of compensation. Eligible employees also receive a competitive benefits package, including unlimited PTO.

Final-round candidates may be invited to participate in a paid, time-boxed design assessment designed to simulate a real-world Rivet engagement. This assessment allows both Rivet and the candidate to evaluate working style, decision-making, and design approach in a realistic context.
