[Hiring] Lead Brand & Creative Designer @Freehand

Role Description

We're looking for a Lead Brand & Creative Designer to elevate how Freehand looks, feels, and shows up in the market. This is a foundational, hands-on role spanning brand, website, campaigns, events, and the full spectrum of marketing, sales, and corporate design.

You'll own both creative direction and production. One day you're developing a campaign concept or designing a new website experience. The next, you're producing investor decks, customer presentations, brochures, one-pagers, or trade show materials.

You'll work closely with Marketing leadership and cross-functional teams to evolve our visual identity and establish the design systems and processes that help us scale.

What You'll Do

• Brand & Creative Direction
  • Evolve Freehand's visual identity into a distinctive, recognizable enterprise AI brand.
  • Lead creative concepts and visual storytelling across campaigns, launches, and brand initiatives.
  • Establish and maintain brand guidelines, design systems, templates, and visual standards.
  • Bring fresh ideas, creative experimentation, and a strong point of view to our work.
  • Provide creative direction and quality control across internal resources and external partners.
• Website & Digital Experiences
  • Own the visual design of all new website pages, landing pages, and digital marketing experiences.
  • Create high-fidelity Figma designs, responsive layouts, components, and prototypes.
  • Translate complex product capabilities and messaging into compelling, intuitive digital experiences.
  • Apply strong visual hierarchy, UX/UI fundamentals, and conversion-oriented design principles.
  • Collaborate with developers and web partners to ensure exceptional implementation.
• Marketing, Sales & Corporate Design Production
  • Own hands-on design and production across Freehand's marketing, sales, executive, and customer-facing materials.
  • Design investor presentations, executive decks, customer presentations, sales pitch decks, and proposals.
  • Create brochures, one-pagers, solution briefs, product sheets, case studies, reports, infographics, and other sales enablement assets.
  • Design trade show booths, event signage, environmental graphics, promotional materials, and branded experiences.
  • Produce creative assets across paid media, organic social, email, and integrated campaigns.
  • Develop product illustrations, diagrams, and visual explanations of complex technology.
  • Own production from concept through final delivery, including revisions, formatting, and print-ready or digital files.
  • Build reusable templates and asset libraries that improve production speed without sacrificing quality.
• Build the Creative Foundation
  • Establish scalable design workflows, processes, and quality standards.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects and priorities in a fast-moving environment.
  • Collaborate with external agencies, motion designers, and creative specialists.
  • Explore AI-powered creative tools to improve workflows and expand creative possibilities.
  • Help shape the future capabilities of Freehand's creative function.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in brand, visual, graphic, or digital design, ideally in B2B technology, SaaS, or a high-caliber creative agency.
• An exceptional portfolio demonstrating original creative thinking and outstanding execution across brand, web, campaigns, and production design.
• Strong command of typography, composition, color, layout, visual hierarchy, and brand identity.
• Expert proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
• Strong website and landing page design skills, including responsive design and UX/UI fundamentals.
• Extensive experience producing presentations, marketing collateral, digital assets, and print materials.
• Experience with large-format production, trade show graphics, and environmental design.
• Strong presentation design skills in PowerPoint or Google Slides.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into compelling visual communication.
• Exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines.
• A proactive, self-directed mindset with the confidence to bring ideas and challenge creative direction constructively.
• A genuine passion for design and the drive to create exceptional work, not simply complete assignments.

Bonus Points

• Hands-on experience with Webflow, Framer, WordPress, or other website platforms.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, or web development fundamentals.
• Motion design, animation, video editing, or 3D design experience.
• Experience with AI-powered creative tools.
• Experience building or scaling a creative function within a high-growth startup.

You'll Probably Love This Role If

• You look at most enterprise technology marketing and think, "We can do better than this."
• You care about the big creative idea and the smallest production detail.
• You get just as much satisfaction from transforming an ordinary sales deck or trade show booth into something exceptional as you do from developing a new brand concept.
• You have strong creative opinions, but you're equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting the work done.
• You want ownership, creative freedom, and the opportunity to help build a brand that genuinely stands out.
