Staff Brand Designer

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

Your role will be to drive the evolution of Brex's brand identity system, pushing our visual language forward while maintaining cohesion across all touch points. You'll be instrumental in defining how our brand shows up in the world, from establishing new design patterns and brand expressions to reimagining our visual identity for the next phase of growth. This is a strategic and hands-on role that will require you to work closely with Marketing leaders, Web and Product teams, and creative partners to ensure our brand identity is distinctive, scalable, and reflects our ambition. You are a systems thinker who can envision the big picture while obsessing over the craft details that bring a brand to life.
