Brand Designer

About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to own brand design end-to-end at a fast-growing, seed-stage enterprise AI platform based in Berlin. You'll shape how people experience the company across every touchpoint — from the website and design system to merchandise, office spaces, and event activations. You'll work with significant creative latitude on a small, high-trust team where your decisions have immediate, visible impact.

The company builds a secure, model-agnostic AI platform that helps enterprises roll out AI adoption at scale. The team is backed by well-regarded investors and is trusted by organisations across Europe. This is an on-site role in Berlin.

What You'll Do

• Own and evolve the design system — maintain components, tokens, and visual patterns for reuse across the brand.

• Ship website updates directly — maintain visual and frontend quality without a ticket queue or developer handoff.

• Design and produce merchandise — brief suppliers, iterate on samples, and make quality and materials decisions so every piece represents the brand with intention.

• Shape physical spaces — design the office environment, conference booths, and event setups to craft coherent, on-brand experiences.

• Lead creative projects end-to-end — from launch moments to one-off campaigns and collaborations, from brief to delivery.

• Move fluidly between tools and formats — Figma, vendor briefs, physical environments, and production code as needed.

• Use AI tools to accelerate your workflow — identify where automation adds speed without compromising judgment or quality.

• Act with creative ownership and iterate quickly, seeing the real-world impact of your work on a short feedback loop.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 5+ years in brand design with a track record of delivering end-to-end brand experiences — design systems, merchandise, and physical spaces.

• Strong Figma skills and comfort working in code to ship production-ready designs without developer handoff.

• Demonstrated experience owning a design system: components, tokens, and scalable visual patterns.

• Proven ability to lead high-visibility creative projects from concept through delivery.

• Experience designing physical artefacts — merch, event setups, spatial design for offices or exhibitions.

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity — able to write your own brief when none exists.

• Practical, thoughtful use of AI tools in a design workflow.

• Collaborative, kind, and able to defend creative decisions with clarity and taste.

Nice to have:

• Experience with color token creation or accessibility considerations within design systems.

• Motion design or animation skills to enhance brand storytelling.

Location & Work Arrangement

This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available — candidates must have the right to work in Germany.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation will be discussed during the hiring process and is competitive for a seed-stage startup. You'll join a small, senior team with real creative ownership and the chance to build something lasting from the ground up.
