Our mission is clear: to build a world where everything works at its best, ensuring every employee gets the support they need to thrive--both at work and beyond.

Your Mission

================


As our

Brand Design Lead

at Ben, you will evolve and bring to life Ben's visual identity across every touchpoint -- website, campaigns, video, podcast, events, and sales storytelling.


Reporting to our VP of Marketing, you'll set the creative direction and strategy, whilst also executing it end to end. You'll evolve our visual identity as we scale into enterprise, build on an established design system, and deliver the high-impact creative work that helps us stand out in a highly competitive market.


If you've built brands in a scaling B2B SaaS business, and want to own the full creative scope in one the fastest growing businesses in our space -- or you've honed your craft at an agency and want to go deep on one brand you can shape -- this is the role for you.

What You'll Be Doing...

typography, colour, illustration, photography, motion -- as we grow into larger, more complex customers

Maintaining and building on our design system:

components, styles, motion principles, and guidance that scales

Designing and iterating on our website:

making complex ideas feel simple, keeping it fresh and conversion-friendly

Owning high-impact creative projects:

campaign work, product launches, events, the work that gets seen and remembered

Leading visual direction for video and podcast:

storyboarding, shoot planning, filming, editing, and packaging content for social

Creating materials that help us win on the biggest of stages:

pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, swag -- help us turn complex messaging into visuals that build trust with enterprise buyers

You'll thrive here if you have...

===================================

5+ years of design experience

Self-starter energy

: organised, pragmatic, and happy figuring things out when things are ambiguous.

High attention to detail

, with a deep understanding of design best practices and trends.

Bonus points if you:

------------------------

Have experience designing for events: booths, installations, physical brand moments. Have strong motion skills, animation chops, or photography/art direction experience. Hands-on video experience: you've planned shoots, been behind the camera, and have done the editing Curiosity about AI in design: you've explored tools like Midjourney, Runway, or AI workflows in Figma, or used them professionally within your work

You will not love this role if you....

========================================

Need a slow pace to feel comfortable

- we move fast, and we prioritise action, even when the path isn't perfectly clear

Are uncomfortable being accountable for outcomes

- this role involves owning projects end-to-end and being responsible for making them succeed and delivering them at a high quality

Prefer maintaining the status quo

- we want to challenge assumptions and push for better ways of working

Prefer a highly structured environment

with established processes and clearly defined boundaries - we're still building, and sometimes that means creating the path as we go

Struggle with ambiguity or expect prescriptive direction

- you'll get support and context, but you'll need to figure things out and take ownership

Wait for others to step up, or to be told what to do

- We are a high-performance and high-reward work place and are looking for people who are proactive
