[Hiring] Brand Designer @Ursus

Role Description

We are looking for a Brand Designer / Motion Designer to join our team — someone who believes brands are living systems, not just visual expressions. This role is for a designer with a deep background in building holistic, enduring brand systems that scale across product, marketing, and culture. You bring strong brand architecture thinking, refined craft, and a systems mindset. You understand how typography, motion, color, voice, and behavior work together to create meaning. You have experience shaping integrated efforts that live across product surfaces, campaigns, and emerging media. You’re comfortable operating across a wide range of touchpoints, from in-product moments to large-scale brand storytelling. You think conceptually but execute rigorously. When you have a vision, you can shepherd it from idea to launch with clarity, conviction, and minimal oversight. You are equally energized by defining the foundation and pushing creative expression forward.

Responsibilities

• Lead the conceptual development and prototyping of motion identities and campaign work from early concepts through final production.
• Design scalable, foundational motion systems (principles, behaviors, toolkits) that support multiple campaigns while ensuring consistency and clarity.
• Set and communicate creative vision, providing direction and oversight that keeps teams aligned and quality high.
• Be deeply hands-on—exploring broadly, iterating quickly, and refining thoughtfully through execution and delivery.
• Translate product UI and in-product experiences into compelling marketing moments and brand storytelling.
• Break down complex narratives into simple, clear, emotionally resonant creative across channels.
• Design conceptual brand expressions that communicate brand intention and value through motion and design.
• Help build and evolve cohesive brand systems that scale across product and marketing.

Qualifications

• 7–10 years of experience designing for brand, with demonstrated depth in building and evolving brand systems.
• Portfolio showcasing strong craft across brand identity, marketing campaigns, web, and motion.
• Experience translating brand strategy into compelling marketing expressions across multiple channels.
• Fluency across a broad range of design expression: digital, traditional, experiential, and ideas that drive earned media.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate creative thinking and design rationale.
• Proven track record of self-initiated projects and proactive creative problem-solving.
• Link to an online portfolio showcasing your work (include link on resume).
• Must be eligible to work in the US.

Benefits

• Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
• Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate or annual salary only, unless otherwise stated.
• In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching.
