Job description

Sr Designer

Location : New York City (Tribeca) — hybrid, 3 days / week

Our NY-based client is seeking a thoughtful, cutting edge Sr. Designer to build their visual language, systems, and brand identities for their 2 distinct products.

This is a true startup “Swiss Army knife” design role. You’ll own the brand expression end-to-end, build systems that create cohesion across every touchpoint, and help our client evolve a the brand as they grow.

We're looking for an in-house designer who can take initiative, bring strong opinions, and drive work forward with real ownership - with thoughtful oversight and guidance from the Director of Brand & Creative.

Brand systems & identity

  • Evolve and tighten the current brand foundation (typography, colour, fonts), making it more dynamic and launch-ready.
  • Build and document brand guidelines and design systems that translate consistently across channels.
  • Define how motion, illustration, and other creative elements show up in their world (freelancer collaboration supported).

Marketing & growth design

  • Create high-impact social templates and campaigns rooted in brand strategy.
  • Design marketing assets beyond social : sales decks, one-pagers, landing pages, OOH concepts, and launch materials.
  • Help them identify what makes their brand special - and express it clearly through visual storytelling.
  • Product-oriented design (nice-to-have but valuable)

  • Collaborate closely with the product team to bring brand into the app experience.
  • Contribute to product and web concepts, especially landing pages and early product surfaces that need brand-led thinking.
  • Creative partnership

  • Work collaboratively with a small team, presenting work-in-progress, aligning early, and iterating quickly.
  • Bring a strong discovery and moodboarding process to each assignment - clear rationale, clear direction.
  • We’re open to a range of experience - this could be a strong Director / Principal / Senior level with standout ownership instincts.

    You are :

  • A builder who thrives in ambiguity and wants to create, not just execute.
  • Confident owning projects from idea to final delivery.
  • A designer with high EQ, strong opinions, and the courage to speak up thoughtfully.
  • Proactive, sleeves-rolled-up, “find a way” energy - you see urgent moments as opportunities to move the needle.
  • Excited by technology and culture, with a habit of studying what’s working in the market and adapting it into fresh, original work.
  • You bring :

  • A portfolio that shows brand systems + applied work, not just static identity.
  • Strong craft in typography, layout, and visual storytelling.
  • Experience translating brand into real-world outputs (social, web, product surfaces, decks, campaigns).
  • Comfort working without heavy process or layers but a desire to systematize the design practice for future Designers as the team grows.
  • Passion projects or self-initiated work that shows curiosity and taste.
  • Why join

  • Massive ownership : you’ll define the systems that shape how this startup grows.
  • Small, sharp team : direct access to key decision-makers and fast feedback loops.
  • Well funded scaling organization : get in on the ground level.
  • Great in-office environment, with snacks / drinks, and lunch provided on all in-office days.
  • If this sounds like you, we’d love to see your portfolio - especially work that shows systems thinking and bold brand ownership.
