Designer, Brand & Product
About The Position
Edison Scientific is seeking a versatile Designer to be responsible for the day-to-day creative execution that brings their brand to life. This role will create clear, compelling visual experiences across marketing, recruiting, events, executive communications, and company storytelling. The designer will transform high-level concepts into polished final deliverables, including event experiences, conference collateral, investor presentations, recruiting materials, and brand systems, helping to define and maintain a distinct visual identity. As design needs evolve, there will be opportunities to contribute to product design initiatives. While extensive product design experience is not required initially, curiosity and enthusiasm for growth in this area are important given the broad scope of design at a fast-growing startup. This role is based in San Francisco and collaborates closely with operations, product, and leadership.
Requirements
- Typically, 3-7 years of professional design experience with a portfolio that shows your range: brand identity, event/exhibit design, marketing collateral, and decks.
- Expert-level Figma and Adobe Creative Suite skills.
- A strong, defensible point of view on what "good" looks like, paired with tactful editing discipline.
- Ability to strip a design down to its essential elements rather than layering more on.
- Comfort working fast and independently against ambiguous, time-sensitive requests.
Nice To Haves
- Motion or 3D experience (After Effects, Blender, or Cinema 4D).
- Prior experience designing in-house for a fast-moving startup, where you owned output end to end.
- Curiosity about product design and/or early exposure to it.
- Genuine interest in Edison's mission and the life sciences space.
Responsibilities
- Own design execution across brand, events, recruiting, marketing, and executive communications.
- Create event collateral, conference experiences, signage, presentations, digital assets, recruiting materials, and marketing content that elevate the Edison brand.
- Maintain and evolve Edison's sophisticated, minimal visual identity, across every touchpoint.
- Develop scalable templates, systems, and assets that allow great design work to be produced consistently and efficiently.
- Use AI to move faster, not to replace judgment.
- Pick up product design work with Platform as bandwidth allows.
