About the Role

The Spellbook brand team is seeking a Brand Design Lead to shape how we show up across touchpoints, from sales material and digital experiences to events and in-person activations. You’ll own projects end to end, from concept through delivery, and set the standard for craft across information-dense deliverables like decks and one-pagers. You’ll also lead the development of generative brand systems and AI tooling that scale output across the company.

We’re a team that cares deeply about iteration and quality, and strives for impact in every project. We don’t operate as a service desk, but as a strategic partner to Product, Marketing, Sales, and leaders across the company. You’ll join a small, focused team of creatives with low ego and high standards. We believe that quality and speed are not opposing forces, but together create conditions to build momentum.

What You'll Do

• Own brand projects end to end, from creative direction and concept through production and delivery

• Lead experiential and in-person brand work, including events, conferences, and activations, from spatial concept to on-site execution

• Build generative AI brand tools and workflows that increase the speed and quality of brand work across the company

• Prototype and ship digital brand experiences, working directly in code when it moves the work forward

• Shape the evolution of Spellbook’s brand system, defining standards that hold up across digital, print, and physical spaces

• Set the bar for sales enablement materials like decks, one-pagers, and templates

• Partner with Sales, Product Marketing, Customer Success, and leadership to set priorities and move work forward

• Work closely with our Creative Director, mentor other designers, and lead regular critiques

• Other responsibilities as required

What You Need

• 7+ years of experience in a brand, graphic design, or related role, including leading projects from concept to delivery

• A portfolio that shows strong skill in brand systems, editorial layout of information-dense materials, and digital or experiential work

• Excellent attention to typography, hierarchy, and composition

• Hands-on experience building custom AI tooling, generative systems, or automated workflows to scale brand work

• Comfort working with AI to prototype ideas and ship digital work

• Proficiency in Figma, the Adobe suite, and other presentation tools like Google Slides

• Experience owning events or physical activations, including working with vendors, fabricators, and budgets

• Comfort managing multiple projects and deadlines while setting direction for others

• An appetite for collaboration and critique in pursuit of highly crafted, impactful work

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience at a small studio or in an independent practice

• Motion design or short-form video editing experience in tools like Jitter

• Experience with creative coding, generative design, or interactive installations

• Illustration skills
