We’re looking for a Brand Designer who will execute high-quality design work across marketing and sales channels while helping manage incoming design requests. This role contributes to project scoping and coordination, with a primary focus on delivering strong visual assets and ensuring brand consistency across all touchpoints.

A Brand Designer owns the design function as a strategic partner to the business. In addition to executing design work, they shape how design projects are scoped, prioritized, and executed across the company. They act as a consultant to internal teams, guiding stakeholders on how to best approach visual communication rather than simply fulfilling requests. This role also leads brand systems, manages design operations, and mentors other designers or contractors.

The ideal candidate is beginning to build skills in project management and cross-functional collaboration, and is developing confidence in acting as a strategic design partner.

This role follows a 3-day in-office setup, designed to enable close collaboration with the marketing team and cross-functional partners.
