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.
