You'll work closely product and GTM and work alongside our founders on how the company presents itself. This is a full-stack brand role. Identity, campaigns, motion, illustration: you define them, systematize them, and ship them yourself.\nSince we've never hired for this role before we're hoping this to be a contract to start engagement with the hopes of it converting to full time. Which also means we're open to remote candidates as well but would prefer in person. \nWhat you'll work on\nThe brand. Highbeam is a serious financial platform that doesn't yet look like one. You'll help build and maintain the identity from the foundations - type, color, logo, illustration, the visual expression of our voice and turn it into guidelines and kits the rest of the team can actually use without asking you first. \n\nMarketing surfaces. highbeam.co, launch campaigns, lifecycle email, social, paid creative, sales and event collateral. You'll take concepts from idea to shipped, and bring in external partners when the work is bigger than one person. \n\nMotion. Launch films and social video on the marketing side; transitions, empty states, onboarding, and Luma's thinking states on the product side. You'll define how Highbeam moves and hand production-ready assets to engineering.\n\nIllustration and 3D. Cash flow, working capital, ad spend, an AI analyst reasoning about someone's money - abstract concepts that need a visual language before they're understandable. You'll build the system that explains them.\n\nWho you are\n4+ years in brand design, graphic design, or art direction, ideally on consumer or modern tech brands. We're open to a wide range of experiences and seniority for the right talent.\n\nA portfolio with exceptional visual execution across surfaces - web, mobile, social, email, print. A portfolio is required; applications without one won't be reviewed.\n\nObsessive about fundamentals: type, layout, color, composition, hierarchy - and able to apply them across disciplines rather than only the one you trained in.\n\nReal motion chops. After Effects, Cavalry, Rive, or equivalent, with comfort shipping to an engineering team and responding to format, sizing, and performance requirements.\n\nYou'll thrive at Highbeam if...\nYou love working in-person with a high-performing team\n\nYou enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment\n\nYou are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments\n\nYou care about delivering a polished customer experience\n\nBonus: You have experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups\n\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive salary and meaningful equity\n\nComprehensive health & benefits package\n\nGenerous PTO\n\n$1K/year stipend to purchase our customers' products\n\n$100/mo wellness stipend\n\nYearly offsite-last year we went to Mexico City!\n\nIn-office perks: Commute covered and $20/day lunch stipend\n\nGreat location: Our NYC office is in NoHo, a short walk from the A,C,E · B,D,F,M · N,Q,R,W · 1 · 6 trains. Our Toronto office is downtown near St. Andrew Station.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3715,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Banks & Neobanks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-21T21:26:26Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":112500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-07T07:57:00+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.558,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":150000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/highbeam-brand-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/highbeam-brand-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T21:25:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":34592,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679294},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679294"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhighbeam-brand-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhighbeam-brand-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhighbeam-brand-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/highbeam-brand-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhighbeam-brand-designer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1099825}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"highbeam.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1099825},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
