Job Description Headquarters:
San Francisco, CA or Remote, US      About the Role  Descript helps creators and companies tell stories through video. The creative team ensures that our brand lives up to the ethos of our customers. We ship work that’s brave, creative, and a bit uncomfortable, pushing with conviction where human creativity matters.  As the Brand Design Lead, you will evolve the brand as you create for campaigns, web experiences, and events.

You’ll move between big picture concepting, building brand systems, and designing with an expert level of craft. Reporting to the Director of Brand & Content, you will be trusted and supported to create daring work that reminds people of the joy of telling stories.  What You'll Do    Set a high bar and execute work that exceeds it    Evolve and extend the Descript brand to show up well in campaigns, web, and events  Lead concept and design for launches and campaigns, from brief through delivery      Build a brand system that scales    Develop brand systems and toolkits that allow the work to scale in expected (and some unexpected) ways  Enable product, marketing, and sales partners to create on-brand assets without relying on you      Multiply your creative impact    Use AI tools and processes to deliver scale without compromising quality  Direct internal and external creative partners from illustrators to design engineers  Mentor designers around you and be an ambassador for your craft around the company
What You Bring    

Minimum Qualifications    6+ years in brand design, in-house or agency  Portfolio showcasing a range of both strategic thinking and executional craft across web, social, and paid channels  Strong command of typography, color, and composition  Evidence of building a brand system that scaled beyond your output  Experience directing outside creative partners  Fluency with AI tools to produce and scale work alongside a clear perspective of where not to use them      

Preferred Qualifications    Brand work within a SaaS company (especially the creative software space)  Motion, front-end dev, or illustration skills  Experience creating generative brand tooling  Comfort with being on camera and sharing your work publicly
Success In This Role  First 12 months:
Our identity feels evolved because you challenged it, pushed it, and fought for something outside any project brief you were given  You launched a brand campaign that did numbers in your ex-coworker group chat (hopefully for good, but that’s not guaranteed)  Sure, the Descript website is more on brand and converts well, but there are also immersive moments you are genuinely proud of pulling off  You regularly spend time with people around the company you never thought you’d be collaborating with  You shipped something you weren’t proud of, picked yourself up and learned from it  There’s some Descript merch around you that you actually want
The base salary range for this role is $140,000 - $185,000. Final offer amounts will carefully consider multiple factors, including prior experience, expertise, location, level, and may vary from the amount above.
