Design Director
About the Role
We're an early-stage ambient AI startup building a continuous intelligence system that seamlessly integrates into daily life — helping people offload routine tasks and reclaim their focus for what matters most. We're looking for a Design Director to shape how our company is seen and experienced across every touchpoint.
This is a hands-on creative and strategic role with real influence over brand direction. You'll translate brand strategy into compelling visual systems, campaigns, and narratives that shape company perception and drive business goals — with strong potential for leadership growth as the team scales.
This position is fully remote with flexibility to travel globally as needed. Visa sponsorship is not available.
What You'll Do
Develop and continuously evolve the company's visual identity across brand, marketing, product, communications, and content channels.
Translate brand strategy into visuals, campaigns, narratives, and customer experiences that resonate deeply.
Create high-quality visual assets including launch materials, presentations, campaign creative, social content, web pages, and brand collateral.
Build design concepts that make complex technology feel clear, accessible, and culturally relevant.
Shape visual storytelling for key company moments and establish scalable design principles that ensure consistent branding.
Partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Leadership to align design execution with broader business goals.
Bring strong taste and strategic judgment to influence how the company is perceived in market.
What We're Looking For
Required
8+ years of design experience specializing in brand identity, visual systems, campaigns, and creative direction.
Demonstrated ability to translate brand strategy into visual systems, campaign narratives, and end-to-end customer experiences.
Proficiency creating polished, production-ready assets across launch materials, presentations, social, web, and brand content.
Experience developing and evolving visual identity systems across multiple channels simultaneously.
Ability to establish design principles and visual storytelling frameworks that scale across an organization.
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — comfortable working alongside Marketing, Product, Brand, and executive Leadership.
Deep understanding of how brand strategy shapes market perception and product experience.
Portfolio demonstrating the combination of strategic thinking and hands-on design execution.
Proven comfort thriving in fast-paced startup environments with high design standards.
Nice to Have
Prior experience with luxury, DTC (direct-to-consumer), wellness, or technology brands.
Experience making complex or emerging technology feel approachable and culturally resonant through design.
