Brand Designer

Highbeam•New York, NY

1d•$6,000 - $12,000•Remote

About The Position

Highbeam is building the future of business banking and cash management. Our platform combines AI agents, automated financial workflows, and integrated financial products that save brands time and money. Customers have generated billions in sales and include well-known brands such as Cuts, Tushy, Rocco, Sabah, Still Here, Alice Mushrooms, Original Grain, birddogs, and more. Our team includes alumni of Shopify, Square, Toast, Rippling, and McKinsey. We’ve raised $42M in equity from Acrew, FirstMark, Mayfield, and Two Sigma Ventures. We're hiring a brand and motion designer to build Highbeam's visual identity from the ground up — and make it move. You'll work closely product and GTM and work alongside our founders on how the company presents itself. This is a full-stack brand role. Identity, campaigns, motion, illustration: you define them, systematize them, and ship them yourself. Since we've never hired for this role before we're hoping this to be a contract to start engagement with the hopes of it converting to full time. Which also means we're open to remote candidates as well.

Requirements

4+ years in brand design, graphic design, or art direction, ideally on consumer or modern tech brands.
A portfolio with exceptional visual execution across surfaces — web, mobile, social, email, print. A portfolio is required; applications without one won't be reviewed.
Obsessive about fundamentals: type, layout, color, composition, hierarchy — and able to apply them across disciplines rather than only the one you trained in.
Real motion chops. After Effects, Cavalry, Rive, or equivalent, with comfort shipping to an engineering team and responding to format, sizing, and performance requirements.

Experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups

Responsibilities

Rebuild the brand identity from the foundations — type, color, logo, illustration, the visual expression of our voice — and turn it into guidelines and kits the rest of the team can actually use without asking you first.
Take marketing concepts from idea to shipped, and bring in external partners when the work is bigger than one person.
Define how Highbeam moves and hand production-ready assets to engineering.
Build the system that explains abstract concepts visually.
