Job summary

Hex is seeking a Brand Designer with a sharp visual sense to help define the next chapter of our brand. You’ll blend illustration, typography, and expressive graphic design to create campaigns, product launches, and narrative visuals across web, events, social, and editorial.

You’ll work as a generalist who loves making things and testing ideas, moving quickly from concept to final execution, and collaborating across Product Marketing, Content, and Growth to push the brand further.

Qualifications

• You are a brand designer with a portfolio full of strong ideas and beautifully made work.
• You have particular strength in illustration, image-making, art direction or another expressive visual craft.
• You understand systems but do not believe every piece of work needs to look identical.
• You have excellent typography and composition instincts.
• You like showing work early, exploring widely and then refining with intention.

Responsibilities

• Concept and design brand campaigns, product launches and creative moments.
• Help evolve the Hex visual identity and establish new patterns within the system.
• Develop illustration, image-making and graphic approaches that become recognisable parts of the Hex brand.
• Design across web, events, social, editorial, customer stories, swag campaigns and physical brand moments.
• Create reusable systems and assets rather than solving every brief from scratch.
• Partner closely with your pals on the brand, Product Marketing, Content, Events and Growth.
• Art direct illustrators, motion designer and production partners when needed.
• Move comfortably between early concept exploration and meticulous final execution.
• Contribute to critiques and help push the quality of the wider team’s work.
