About The Position

Instrument partners with the world’s most ambitious companies to create transformational change through best-in-class brand experiences and communications. From day one, we’ve been committed to making this a place where people can create the best work of their careers — sustainably.

We’re hiring a Senior Designer to join our Brand Studio team — a group focused on shaping brands and marketing systems that show up powerfully and cohesively across every touchpoint.

This role sits at the intersection of concept and craft. We’re looking for a designer who can think at a high altitude — generating strong, insight-driven ideas — and then bring those ideas to life through thoughtful, detailed execution across brand systems, campaigns, and digital experiences.

You’ll work in tight-knit, multidisciplinary teams alongside strategists, writers, producers, and developers. Collaboration isn’t just encouraged here — it’s essential. You’ll contribute as a key creative voice, helping elevate the work while shaping how it shows up in the world.
