ABOUT THE ROLE

The Spellbook brand team is seeking a Brand Design Lead to shape how we show up across touchpoints, from sales material and digital experiences to events and in-person activations. You’ll own projects end to end, from concept through delivery, and set the standard for craft across information-dense deliverables like decks and one-pagers. You’ll also lead the development of generative brand systems and AI tooling that scale output across the company.

We’re a team that cares deeply about iteration and quality, and strives for impact in every project. We don’t operate as a service desk, but as a strategic partner to Product, Marketing, Sales, and leaders across the company. You’ll join a small, focused team of creatives with low ego and high standards. We believe that quality and speed are not opposing forces, but together create conditions to build momentum.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own brand projects end to end, from creative direction and concept through production and delivery
• Lead experiential and in-person brand work, including events, conferences, and activations, from spatial concept to on-site execution
• Build generative AI brand tools and workflows that increase the speed and quality of brand work across the company
• Prototype and ship digital brand experiences, working directly in code when it moves the work forward
• Shape the evolution of Spellbook’s brand system, defining standards that hold up across digital, print, and physical spaces
• Set the bar for sales enablement materials like decks, one-pagers, and templates
• Partner with Sales, Product Marketing, Customer Success, and leadership to set priorities and move work forward
• Work closely with our Creative Director, mentor other designers, and lead regular critiques
• Other responsibilities as required

WHAT YOU NEED

• 7+ years of experience in a brand, graphic design, or related role, including leading projects from concept to delivery
• A portfolio that shows strong skill in brand systems, editorial layout of information-dense materials, and digital or experiential work
• Excellent attention to typography, hierarchy, and composition
• Hands-on experience building custom AI tooling, generative systems, or automated workflows to scale brand work
• Comfort working with AI to prototype ideas and ship digital work
• Proficiency in Figma, the Adobe suite, and other presentation tools like Google Slides
• Experience owning events or physical activations, including working with vendors, fabricators, and budgets
• Comfort managing multiple projects and deadlines while setting direction for others
• An appetite for collaboration and critique in pursuit of highly crafted, impactful work

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Experience at a small studio or in an independent practice
• Motion design or short-form video editing experience in tools like Jitter
• Experience with creative coding, generative design, or interactive installations
• Illustration skills

WHY JOIN SPELLBOOK?

• Embrace autonomy and accountability in a flexible work environment; we focus on outcomes and empower you to determine how to get the job done
• Access our company-paid group benefits for you and your family, with $1,000 towards mental health support
• Disconnect during our holiday closure and take advantage of our generous time off policies throughout the year
• Enjoy monthly paid meals, an annual wellness allowance to support your well-being and parental leave top-ups as your family grows
