Senior Brand Designer (m/f/d)

Why this role matters

JOIN helps thousands of businesses find the right people — faster, fairer, and with less friction. Our platform handles millions of candidate interactions, and our clients praise JOIN’s attention to detail and unmatched user experience.

As the first Brand Designer in our team, you’ll join us at an exciting stage of growth, where brand plays an increasingly important role in how JOIN is perceived across every touchpoint. You’ll help shape how we show up in the market, how we communicate value, and how we create a consistent and memorable experience across campaigns, channels, and assets.

This is not a purely executional design role. You’ll bring structure, clarity, and creative thinking to brand work that needs to perform as well as look strong. You’ll have real ownership, work closely with cross functional teams, and help evolve a brand system that can scale with the business.

Tasks

What you’ll be doing

Your work will directly shape how JOIN is experienced across the market. As our first Brand Designer, you’ll help translate strategy into high quality creative work that strengthens our brand and supports business goals.

• Own and deliver brand design work across a wide range of touchpoints, including campaigns, digital assets, presentations, landing pages, and marketing materials.
• Create compelling visual concepts that are aligned with JOIN’s brand and tailored to different audiences, formats, and objectives.
• Contribute to the evolution of our brand system, helping build consistency while keeping room for creativity and speed.
• Collaborate closely with Growth and other cross functional stakeholders to develop campaign assets that are both high quality and effective.
• Bring structure to design execution by thinking in systems, not just one off assets.
• Translate briefs into clear, thoughtful design solutions with strong attention to detail and strong brand judgement.
• Manage multiple projects and iterations in parallel while maintaining quality and momentum.
• Use feedback constructively and iterate quickly in a fast moving environment.

Who you’ll work with

You’ll work closely with Growth and other cross functional teams, partnering with stakeholders across the business to bring campaigns and brand moments to life. This role sits at the intersection of creativity and execution, with plenty of room to influence how brand work gets done and how JOIN shows up externally.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

✔ 5+ years of experience in brand design, visual design, or a similar role in a fast paced environment.

✔ A portfolio that demonstrates strong brand system thinking across multiple touchpoints, not just isolated visuals.

✔ Experience working in campaign driven marketing environments, where design supports clear business and communication goals.

✔ Experience in B2B or SaaS environments.

✔ Confidence owning projects from brief to final delivery, not just executing individual tasks.

✔ Strong visual design skills with a sharp eye for layout, typography, hierarchy, and consistency.

✔ The ability to create work that is both creatively strong and operationally scalable.

✔ Experience collaborating across functions and working closely with non design stakeholders.

✔ A structured but creative approach to problem solving.

✔ Comfort with feedback, iteration, and working in a dynamic environment where priorities can evolve.

✔ Strong communication skills and the ability to explain design decisions clearly and thoughtfully.

✔ A hands on, proactive, low ego way of working.

Bonus points for:

• Motion design skills.
• Experience collaborating closely with Growth teams.
• Basic performance data literacy and curiosity about what makes creative work effective.
