Visual Designer

Visual Designer

To be eligible for this position, you must be a U.S. Person, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, Asylee, or Refugee.
Export Control/ITAR: Certain roles may be subject to U.S. export control laws, requiring U.S. person status as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).
ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be one of the first hires in a brand new in‑house creative team, working shoulder to shoulder with the Creative Director on everything the brand touches: identity, campaigns, product stories, events, film, and the design system that holds it all together. The foundation exists. Your job is to build on it, sharpen it, and take it places we have not thought of yet.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

Take direction from the Creative Director and run with it. Build on ideas, do not just reproduce them.
Design across the whole brand: identity systems, campaigns, sales and product work, web, motion, events, and presentations that actually get remembered.
Get in early on concepts and stylescapes. We want your ideas at the sketch stage, not just your polish at the end.
Build design systems in Figma that hold up as the team and the work scale.
Move fluidly between Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite, from loose exploration to finished, shippable craft.
Help build the department itself. Work with our contractors today, help us grow and onboard the team of tomorrow.
Bring a real point of view and put it on the table. We want a creative partner, not a pair of hands.
WHAT YOU BRING

Serious experience as a brand designer or art director, ideally building brand systems rather than just executing campaigns inside them.
Fluency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite.
A portfolio with range and a visible brain behind it.
Comfort in ambiguity. Early‑stage direction does not scare you, it is where you do your best work.
Taste for restraint. You know the difference between design with intent and decoration with a glow effect.
Ambition. You want to help build a department and a body of work, not occupy a seat in one.
HOW WE USE AI

AI has a seat in our process for concepting, exploration, and speed. It does not get the final word. Anything that ships carries your craft, your taste, and your hand. If your portfolio is prompt‑driven, this is not the role.
NICE TO HAVE

Comfort with JSON and structured data files, 3D, files such as design tokens, Lottie files, or data‑driven design systems.
Motion or video chops.
A soft spot for technical and diagrammatic design traditions: cartography, engineering drawing, wayfinding, and the artistic nerdy stuff.
PROBABLY NOT YOUR ROLE IF

You are happiest executing a locked spec someone hands you.
GenAI is your finishing tool, not your sketching tool.
Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite are occasional visitors in your workflow rather than residents.
