Visual Designer (Contractor)

Raylu AI • New York City, NY

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Visual design touches everything outward-facing at Raylu: the marketing website, social, decks, and the brand itself. This isn't a "make one graphic and call it a day" role. You'll be embedded in the team, shipping real work every week, and working directly with our Founding Product Designer and Head of Growth to shape how Raylu looks and feels to the outside world as we scale. Expect messy workflows, spontaneous asks, and a direct line into how brand and marketing decisions get made at a fast-growing startup.

Requirements

• A portfolio with strong visual and brand design work.
• Skilled in Framer — you'll build real pages on our marketing site.
• Motion design skills (After Effects, Rive, or similar).
• Clear communicator, in writing and in meetings.
• Self-directed and proactive: once you have the scope, you run with it.
• Comfortable with ambiguity — this is a startup, not a structured program.
• Curious and honest about what you don't know. You ask questions and dig in.
• Based in NYC and able to be in-person in Manhattan.
• Loves dogs (we have two puppies in the office).

Nice To Haves

• Experience setting up AI agents to produce on-brand work.
• Marketing copywriting samples in your portfolio.
• Working knowledge of SEO.
• Already using AI tools in your design workflow.
• Interest in finance, PE, or research tools.

Responsibilities

• Design and build pages in Framer for the marketing website, and help improve SEO.
• Create animation for the website, social media, and brand moments.
• Design social posts and marketing assets.
• Design sales, pitch, and presentation decks.
• Help maintain and evolve the Raylu brand as the company grows.
• Teach AI agents to produce on-brand decks and social posts.
• Write copy for the website, social media, and campaigns.

Benefits

• Real surface area: your work is the first thing every investor, candidate, and partner sees.
• Talent density: small, senior, mission-obsessed team — big scope, zero bureaucracy.
• Speed: ship fast, with direct lines to leadership and no approval chains.
• A category moment: AI is rewiring how private markets do research, and the brand for it is still being built.
