Brand Designer

About the role

Kairon’s brand is calm and editorial on purpose. We sell software that acts on real money and real customers, so the way we look has to feel careful, not loud. Our core identity is in place: type, colour, grid and a small library of diagrams. Now we need to stretch it across far more surfaces than it was built for.

This is a six-month contract, based in our New York office at least three days a week, with a strong chance of extension. You’ll work with our design lead, our product marketing team and an external motion studio.

What you’ll do

• Lead the visual design for two major launches, including landing pages, social assets and launch films.
• Extend our diagram system so complex ideas like approvals, traces and eval gates read clearly at a glance.
• Design event presence for two conferences: booth, slides, signage and printed takeaways.
• Build a set of editorial illustrations for the blog and customer stories.
• Document what you make, so the brand stays consistent after your contract ends.

What you’ll bring

• 5+ years of brand or marketing design, with a portfolio that shows range within a strict system.
• Strong typography and layout skills. You notice when a line breaks badly.
• Experience explaining technical products visually without leaning on clichés.
• Fluency in a design tool and at least one motion or 3D tool.
• Comfort working quickly with feedback from several stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience designing for B2B software or developer tools.
• Editorial or print design background.
• Basic front-end skills for building pages yourself.
