Brand Design, Creative Lead

HI, WE'RE CONVEO 👋 Conveo is building the infrastructure for consumer understanding. Global brands like Unilever, Google and Canva use our AI-moderated video conversations to hear from their customers continuously, so their insights, marketing and product teams work from what people actually say, show and feel. We are YC-backed, post-Series A and growing fast.

You set how Conveo looks and feels, and you make it real yourself: the identity, the decks that win deals, the posts that stop a scroll, the pages on our website, the stand at an industry event. Our audience is heads of insights and marketing leaders at some of the largest brands in the world. They judge brands for a living, so your work sits next to the best brands they see every day. Think of a creative director whose main tool is design. When a brief comes in, you push back on it, pick the angle and design the answer. Most of your week is spent designing, and the work you make becomes the direction everyone else follows. On a given day you might design a new social series, rebuild a pitch deck with an account executive before a big meeting, prototype a launch page with an AI coding tool, lay out a research report, art direct a shoot, and turn a fix you made twice into a template or a small tool so nobody has to make it again. AI is already part of how you design and build. You have shipped work with it that you are proud of, from imagery and motion to prototypes, and you want room to push it further. We care more about your work and your drive than your years. If your portfolio is strong and you want to own a brand while it is still early, we want to see it. You report to Tom Husson, our CMO, and work closely with product marketing, customer marketing, social, events, sales, product design and the founders. WHAT YOU'LL DO 1. DESIGN THE WORK THAT MATTERS MOST, YOURSELF - Founder keynotes, launch visuals, key website pages, research reports and our presence at events. - Make every piece readable in seconds: clear hierarchy, one focal visual, nothing competing with the point. - Bring a point of view to every brief. Question the ask when it is wrong, bring the idea you believe in, and take it all the way to finished. 2. SHAPE THE VISUAL IDENTITY, EVERYWHERE IT SHOWS UP - Evolve how Conveo looks: type, color, layout, grid, imagery, iconography, data visualization and motion. - Carry it into everything sales puts in front of buyers: pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, proposals and leave-behinds. You build these with sales and product marketing, so they hold up in a live meeting and sellers reach for them first. - Connect brand and product with our product designers, so Conveo feels like one company from the first ad to the app, including how our product screens look in marketing. - Stretch it to new formats (a booth, a report, a launch film, a social series) so it stays coherent and keeps its character without going stale. - Turn it into a Figma library and guidelines with real examples, so anyone can see what good looks like. 3. BUILD A DIGITAL IDENTITY THAT STOPS THE SCROLL - Design how Conveo shows up on screen: social, web, email and paid, in every format each channel needs. - Give every piece one clear idea a busy buyer gets in under a second, and make it unmistakably Conveo. - Design in sets of variants, read the results with social and growth (clicks, conversion, how fast the hook lands), and feed what works back into the identity. A test result never justifies an off-brand asset. 4. SET THE CREATIVE DIRECTION THROUGH YOUR WORK - Design the first version of every launch, campaign and event look, so the direction is something people can see. - Review design work from across the company, with feedback people can act on next time. - Catch the details that separate good from exceptional: spacing, type, line breaks, logo use, image quality. 5. SCALE YOUR EYE WITH SYSTEMS, AI AND PARTNERS - Build Figma components and templates for decks, social, reports, events and web, so the on-brand version is the easy version for every team. - Build AI generators and simple tools that let other teams make on-brand assets without you in the room. - Use AI for imagery, video and motion, variants and prototyping, including working pages built with AI coding tools, so a small team makes work that would otherwise need a studio. - Direct our motion designer, external design partners and freelancers, and art direct photography and footage of real people. HOW YOU'LL BE MEASURED - Quality and consistency of everything Conveo ships, across every channel - How quickly key assets go from brief to live - How much on-brand work other teams make from your libraries and tools, including the decks and collateral sales uses in live deals - How our digital work performs across social, web and paid, and what each test teaches us - What AI lets us make that we could not make before - How sales, events, marketing and the founders rate the design support they get WHAT YOU BRING MUST-HAVES - 4+ years in brand or visual design, with a portfolio of work you designed yourself. For each piece you can say what you did, what others did and what AI did, and show how you got there, not only the final images. - An awesome creative eye and the conviction to use it. Your portfolio has a clear point of view, and you can defend every choice in it to a founder or a client. - You design with an opinion. Given a brief, you come back with the idea you believe in and the design that proves it. - Expert Figma skills: auto layout, components, variants and libraries, used fast and cleanly every day. - Strong craft in typography, layout, color and image direction. - AI-forward, with proof. Your portfolio includes standout work you shipped using AI tools (image, video, motion, layout or prototyping), and you can explain what the AI did and what you did. - Range. You have designed digital work that earned attention and presentations or sales materials that held up in a live meeting. - You read the numbers on your own work. You have looked at clicks, conversion or engagement on something you designed and changed the next version because of it. - Real hunger. You move fast, ask for feedback and come back with a better version the same day. - Speed and judgment. You can tell when a piece needs another day and when it needs to ship today. NICE-TO-HAVES - Big plus: you prototype and build pages with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0) or Framer, with enough HTML and CSS to fix what the tool gets wrong. - Experience shaping or evolving a visual identity, or bringing a brand into a product. - Motion design or After Effects, or at least designing with motion in mind. - Illustrator and Photoshop. - Event, booth and large-format design. - Photography or shoot direction. - Side projects that show what you explore when nobody is asking. - B2B, research, consulting, media or enterprise software experience. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE - The brand is early. Your taste will show up in everything Conveo makes for years. - You design for an audience that judges brands for a living, at companies like Unilever, Google and Canva. - You work directly with the CMO and the founders, so a good idea goes from Figma to live quickly. - A motion designer and external design partners to direct, so your ideas get made at scale. - Competitive pay with equity. - Quarterly team offsites and a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
