About the role
- We are looking for a Senior Brand Designer to help shape how SpaceXSI shows up in the world, building brand systems in fast-moving environments.
- This is a hands-on role where you will spend real time designing and making things yourself, leading projects from first concept through final execution.
Responsibilities
- Evolve and extend the visual identity (logo, typography, color, layout, imagery, and graphic language) and document it so other teams can apply it correctly.
- Turn recurring design work into repeatable, AI-assisted workflows: templates, tools, and generators that let marketing, product, and other teams produce on-brand work without you in the room.
- Concept and design campaigns end to end, from first idea through final production, across key visuals, launch assets, web, social, paid, out-of-home, and print.
- Direct agencies and freelancers with clear briefs and candid feedback so the output meets the bar you'd set yourself.
- Partner with marketing, product, engineering, and leadership; bring a brand point of view to new surfaces as they appear, and present your thinking clearly to senior stakeholders.
- Move between projects quickly while holding a consistently high bar, and keep improving the process, not just the output.
Requirements
- 6+ years of brand design experience, in-house or at an agency or studio.
- Fluency in AI coding tools, especially Cursor. You can build your own tools, scripts, prototypes, and simple web pages instead of waiting on engineering.
- A portfolio that shows both brand system work and shipped campaigns.
- Sharp typography, layout, and art direction instincts.
- A systems mindset: you naturally turn one-off tasks into reusable processes and think about how creative work scales.
- Conviction in your design decisions and the ability to explain why they matter, to designers, marketers, and leadership alike.
- Fluency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud.
- Self-directed, fast, and energized by variety and ambiguity.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building or relaunching a brand identity at a fast-growing tech company.
- Motion sensibility, enough to design with motion in mind and direct motion designers.
- Experience leading agencies on large, multi-channel campaigns.
Skills
- Cursor
- Figma
- Adobe Creative Cloud
