Responsibilities

• Visual Identity Creation: Lead the design of brand identities from the ground up for deep tech startups. This means developing original logo concepts, wordmarks, symbol systems, typographic pairings, color palettes, and the broader visual language that ties it all together. The ability to generate multiple distinct creative directions from a single brief, and to push concepts beyond the obvious, is core to this role.
• Brand System Development: Translate your identity concepts into comprehensive, production-ready brand systems. This includes building brand guidelines, usage documentation, asset libraries, and Figma component libraries that give clients everything they need to maintain consistency as they grow. You'll define the rules of the brand — not just design a logo, but architect the full visual language around it.
• Presentations & Pitch Decks: Apply new brand identities to high-impact presentations and pitch decks for investor meetings, sales conversations, and partnership pitches. This is often one of the first places a new brand lives in the wild, so your ability to extend an identity you've just built matters enormously.
• Collaboration & Iteration: Work closely with HAUS' creative directors throughout the identity development process, from early concept exploration through to final delivery. You'll present multiple creative directions, incorporate feedback, and refine concepts without losing the thread. In our fast-paced sprint environment, strong creative instincts and the ability to iterate quickly are equally important.
• Production & Quality Control: Prepare and finalize all identity files with precision — logos in every required format, color-correct files for both screen and print, and fully organized Figma libraries ready for client handoff. Conduct thorough quality checks across all deliverables to ensure files are production-ready, technically sound, and consistent with the guidelines you've defined.
• Brand Consistency & Asset Management: Act as a guardian of the brand identity for each client. Maintain design systems and reusable components in Figma, and create template assets to ensure a consistent visual language across all touchpoints. You'll help manage the use of logos, fonts, and styles so that everything feels on-brand.
