Head of Brand Design

Eve•San Mateo, CA

2d•$170,000 - $205,000

About The Position

We're looking for a Head of Brand Design to own and evolve Eve's visual identity system. This is not a traditional creative director role focused on campaigns and advertising. You'll build the design infrastructure that makes Eve's brand unmistakable â from foundational systems to the details that make every touchpoint feel intentional. You'll lead a small team of designers and creatives and partner closely with marketing, product, and leadership to translate our positioning into a cohesive visual language. The ideal candidate is a systems-thinker who obsesses over craft, builds scalable frameworks, and can execute hands-on when needed.

Requirements

8+ years in brand design, visual design, or design systems â with 3+ years leading teams. Agency + in-house experience is ideal.
A portfolio that demonstrates systems thinking: We want to see visual identity systems you've built or evolved, not just campaign work. Show us how you create frameworks that scale.
Deep craft in typography, layout, color, and composition: You have strong opinions about kerning and grid systems. Details matter to you.
Fluency in Figma: You build organized, scalable files. Experience with design tokens, component libraries, and handoff workflows.
Experience with web and digital brand expression: You understand responsive design, motion principles, and how brand translates to interactive experiences.
Comfort with ambiguity and speed: You thrive in fast-moving environments where you're building the plane while flying it.
AI-native mindset: You use AI tools in your workflow and are excited about how they're changing creative work.

Responsibilities

Own the visual identity system: Define and maintain Eve's design language â typography, color, imagery, iconography, motion principles â ensuring consistency across every touchpoint.
Build scalable brand infrastructure: Create component libraries, templates, and guidelines that empower teams to produce on-brand work without bottlenecks.
Lead brand design execution: Oversee design for web, product marketing, events, video, print, and environmental experiences â from concept through production.
Elevate craft across the organization: Set the bar for visual quality. Establish design reviews, feedback processes, and quality standards that raise the floor for all creative output.
Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate with Product Design on brand-product alignment, with Marketing on campaign visuals, and with leadership on strategic brand evolution.
Build and lead the team: Hire, mentor, and develop brand designers. Create an environment where high-quality work ships fast.
