About The Position

Edison Scientific is seeking a versatile Designer to lead day-to-day creative execution across the company's brand, events, recruiting, marketing, executive communications, and storytelling. The role transforms high-level concepts into polished deliverables, including event experiences, conference collateral, investor presentations, recruiting materials, digital assets, and scalable brand systems. The designer will maintain and evolve Edison's sophisticated, minimal visual identity across touchpoints, and use AI to accelerate work without replacing design judgment. As needs evolve, the role may also contribute to product design initiatives with Platform; extensive product design experience is not required initially, but curiosity and enthusiasm for growth in that area are important. The position is based in San Francisco and works closely with operations, product, and leadership.
