Senior Brand Designer

Dumbo, Brooklyn · Hybrid (3 days on site) · Full-time · $100K–$140K

Manyone's New York team is looking for a Senior Brand Designer to lead identity and brand-expression work for U.S.-based and global clients. You'll take brands from positioning to living systems - identity, typography, visual language, motion, and guidelines - and make sure they hold up across every touchpoint, digital and physical.

We're a strategy-design hybrid, and our brand designers work at that seam. You'll be in the strategy conversations, not downstream of them; you'll run your own client relationships; and you'll make the work yourself. If you want a brand role where the thinking and the craft are the same job, this is it.

• Lead brand identity projects from discovery and positioning through concept, design system and launch
• Have your own client relationships day to day - lead the conversation, and bring the client along with the work
• Partner with strategists to turn positioning and narrative into distinctive visual expression -  and push back when the strategy needs it
• Develop visual identities, typography, color, imagery direction and motion principles
• Build brand guidelines and design systems that teams inside and outside Manyone can actually use
• Partner with digital designers to extend brands into products and experiences
• Plan and facilitate creative workshops with clients and cross-functional teams
• Mentor designers across the team and contribute to our creative culture

Must have

• 5+ years in brand or visual identity design, with a significant part of that in an agency or consultancy
• A portfolio of launched identity work that shows conceptual depth, typographic craft, and systems thinking of work applied to digital products or/and interfaces
• Comfort working ahead of the brief - framing problems, contributing to positioning, and defending design decisions in business terms
• Experience leading client conversations and presenting to senior stakeholders
• Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
• Excited and experienced utilizing and exploring new (AI) tools 
• Experience building and documenting brand guidelines and design systems
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Able to be at our Dumbo studio three days a week

Nice to have

• Motion design and animation
• Experience extending brands into digital products, environments or packaging
• Art direction of photography, illustration or 3D

• Salary range of $100K–$140K, depending on experience
• Comprehensive benefits, including health coverage and life insurance
• Hybrid work schedule, two days a week from home
• Generous remote work and vacation policy 
• A genuinely international team, with regular collaboration across Denmark, Sweden, and the wider group

A portfolio is required. Applications without a link to a portfolio will not be considered. Show us three to five identity projects and tell us what the problem was, what you did, and what happened.
