[Hiring] Senior Brand Designer @Apkudo

Role Description

Apkudo is the Device Passport Platform for the connected device ecosystem. We are looking for a Brand Designer to take ownership of how our brand looks, feels, and shows up everywhere it matters—from the decks that win seven-figure enterprise deals to the design system that shapes our category leadership for years to come.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role with real authority: you won't manage an internal design team, but you will make the calls on brand architecture, design standards, and how creative work is used to tell our story. You will roll up your sleeves and create the work with the team. We are moving our web management to an external agency, which means your focus won't be on day-to-day digital maintenance. Instead, you will focus on:

• Elevating our visual identity
• Simplifying a complex platform story
• Establishing how AI is used to scale our brand across the business

This role is built for a true Creator. You are here to evolve the systems, tools, and standards that enable all employees to be brilliant storytellers.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of brand or graphic design experience, with meaningful time scaling brand systems in a fast-paced B2B or growth-stage company.
• Hands-on, proven experience building workflows, templates, or tools using leading AI models and generative design tools.
• Proven ability to turn around high-stakes, custom sales presentations under tight deadlines.
• Expert-level Figma and Adobe Illustrator skills; strong working knowledge of Google Slides and PowerPoint.
• Comfort managing external agencies—writing clear briefs, reviewing deliverables critically, and holding external partners accountable.
• Self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and possessing a portfolio that demonstrates systems-level thinking alongside polished final assets.

Requirements

• Design and build AI-powered tools (e.g., custom GPTs/Claude skills, templated generation systems) that allow non-designers to produce on-brand assets.
• Establish a flawless workflow and template system that holds up cleanly across both Google Slides and PowerPoint.
• Manage the relationship with our outsourced web agency, translating brand intent into clear briefs and reviewing their output for strict brand fidelity.
• Design for a premium customer experience when visiting and touring our automation hubs.
• Event design for Apkudo-hosted and industry events, both domestic and abroad.

How to Apply

Please apply with your resume and a link to your portfolio. We're especially interested in seeing examples of systems-level thinking: brand guidelines, design systems, or reusable frameworks you've built, alongside your strongest individual pieces.
