Assembled

New York City, US · Full-time · $150,000 – $190,000

About this role

Assembled is the unified platform that orchestrates human agents and AI in perfect balance, used by companies like Canva, Etsy, and Robinhood. We're looking for a Brand Designer to own the visual and brand identity for a company in the middle of a meaningful repositioning.

You'll build AI-native design systems from the ground up, structured so repeatable work can be automated or executed by teammates without your direct involvement. This frees you up for the creative challenges worth your full attention, from designing core marketing materials to art-directing campaigns and events.

As a key creative hire on our Marketing team, you'll have real latitude to evolve what exists and raise the bar. We're in-person 5 days a week from our bright, airy offices in the Mission (San Francisco) and Chelsea Market (New York).

Backed by $71M from NEA, Emergence Capital, and Stripe, you'll help build the platform that makes AI and human collaboration actually work. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of brand strategy and hands-on craft.

Requirements

5 to 8 years of brand design or creative direction experience at a high-growth startup or at an agency working with B2B tech clients
A portfolio showing range: opinionated brand work and practical, conversion-driven marketing assets
A genuine AI adopter mindset: you've integrated AI tools into your workflow, you know where they accelerate your work, and you're actively exploring what's next
Strong strategic instincts and the ability to translate ambiguous inputs into clear creative direction
Proficiency with the full Adobe and Figma suite; motion/video experience is a plus
Experience building and documenting design systems that hold up under real-world team usage
High ownership orientation: you move fast, make judgment calls, and know when to ask for alignment versus just shipping
Collaborative by default: you take feedback well, give it generously, and bring stakeholders along

Responsibilities

Own Assembled's visual identity within the marketing context: brand system, design language, typography, color, motion, and everything in between
Design and art-direct core marketing materials: website, email campaigns, event assets, ads, swag, sales collateral, and more
Build AI-native design systems, including templates, design files, component libraries, and guidelines that AI tools and teammates can execute from reliably
Automate repeatable production tasks (asset resizing, templated collateral, social variants, email layouts) so your time stays focused on higher-order creative work
Translate positioning and messaging into creative that resonates with CX and support leaders who are skeptical of hype and respond to clarity
Lead creative on campaigns, product launches, and events from concept through execution
Set the creative bar and manage relationships with designers, contractors, and agency partners
