Head of Brand and Design

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• You will serve as a player-coach, setting the creative vision and actively contributing to the work, especially in the initial stages.

• Brand identity and system development. You will evolve and maintain Coram's visual identity, including the CORAM wordmark and aperture symbol, color and typography system, illustration, iconography, and motion. You will create guidelines and components to ensure brand coherence as it expands.

• Website management. You will take ownership of coram.ai as the company's primary interface: responsible for design, art direction, and ongoing enhancement of the pages that drive conversions. Collaborate closely with demand generation and SEO teams on project launches.

• Product marketing design. Your role will be to make the product both clear and appealing, including feature launches, demo materials, explanatory visuals, and the sales deck and collateral that representatives utilize in the field.

• Creative direction across marketing efforts. You will establish the visual benchmarks for campaigns, advertisements, social media, emails, events, and video content. While you won't create every asset, you will ensure that nothing is released that deviates from the brand's identity.

• Motion and video production. Collaborate with the video team to enhance the production and design standards of our published materials.

• Team building. You will recruit and lead designers and creatives as the team expands. You will also engage and oversee the right agencies and contractors. Define the collaboration between design, marketing, product, and sales.

• Be the taste arbiter. You will have a clear vision of what quality looks like, advocate for it, and enhance the overall quality of everything Coram produces.

⛳️ Requirements

• A portfolio that showcases your aesthetic sensibility. This will be the first item we review, prior to your résumé. Please include it.

• A minimum of 8 years in brand and/or design, with experience in senior creative leadership roles. You have managed brand development on a company scale, not just overseen projects.

• Experience in building and leading teams: hiring designers, setting standards, managing agencies, and fostering a collaborative environment that produces higher-quality work.

• Experience in early-stage environments. You have navigated the startup landscape, ideally in a phase similar to ours: post-Series A/B with real customers and an underdeveloped brand. You excel at creating from a blank slate.

• Hands-on approach. You continue to design and are not seeking a position that only involves providing feedback.

• Ability to operate in a B2B context without sacrificing creativity. Bonus points if you have transformed an unglamorous or technical sector into something that feels premium and relatable.

• Strong writing and communication skills. Brand identity encompasses both voice and visuals, and you will collaborate on both aspects.

• Proficient in key design tools: Figma along with Adobe (Illustrator, After Effects/motion). You actively use these tools in your work.

🏝️ Benefits

• Remote position based in the U.S. Our team is distributed, and this role can be performed from anywhere in the United States.

• Occasional travel for offsite meetings, shoots, and events.

• You will report to the VP of Marketing.

• Competitive salary with regular performance evaluations.

• Equity in a rapidly growing company.

• The chance to take genuine ownership of your work and contribute to shaping the product.

• Frequent team social events, dinners, and offsite gatherings.

• Access to the latest technology and tools to help you produce your best work.

• Work alongside a sharp, mission-driven team focused on addressing significant challenges.

• The opportunity to engage with a product positioned at the intersection of AI, security, and real-world impact.
