About The Position

About AIX Hundreds of millions of people start their day with something AI Experiences (AIX) built: asking Copilot a question, searching on Bing, opening a new tab in Edge. Parents planning a trip. Students cramming for an exam. Engineers debugging at 2am. Small business owners writing their first pitch deck. AIX is the part of Microsoft that makes AI feel intuitive, useful, and people-first in all of those moments. About the Role We're seeking a Senior Brand Designer who works where brand identity meets product. Embedded with product teams, you'll translate our brand into the experience itself — carrying brand principles through visual and narrative expression, into the design system, and out to shipped implementation. Your blend of identity craft and systems thinking will help build a consistent, distinctive brand presence across Copilot touchpoints. This is a hands-on role for a designer who cares as much about concept as execution, and who raises the bar for peers through their own work.

Requirements

Master's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 4+ years experience working in product or service design OR Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 5+ years experience working in product or service design OR equivalent experience (e.g., demonstrated experience working in product or service design or using design thinking to solve problems).
