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.

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.
