Responsibilities

• Set and uphold the craft standard for TRM’s brand: across campaigns, web, social, events, thought-leadership reports, and sales and marketing collateral.
• Lead the most complex and high-visibility brand design projects end-to-end, from brief through delivery, at consistently high craft.
• Partner with creative and marketing leadership to evolve TRM’s creative direction: defining and executing visual standards across typography, imagery, layout, and color.
• Translate complex, data-heavy subject matter (blockchain intelligence, investigations, risk) into infographics, data visualizations, and shareable graphics that make dense information land for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Provide hands-on craft oversight across brand output: reviewing work, raising the quality floor, and helping the team make better decisions.
• Build and steward brand systems and documentation that scale across programs, formats, and audiences without losing soul and know when to break the system for the right reason.
• Commission and art-direct external creatives: agencies, illustrators, and motion designers.
• Mentor and elevate other designers through critique, pairing, and direct feedback: raising craft through the work, not just in conversation.
• Advance the team’s AI-native design practice: bringing AI-assisted tools into concepting, iteration, and production, and helping teammates build the same fluency. Human taste and judgment lead. AI extends the range and speed of what we can explore.
• Collaborate with brand strategists, copywriters, product marketing, and leadership on how TRM shows up across every channel.

Requirements

• 6–8+ years of brand design experience, including high-craft environments: agency, editorial, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech.
• A portfolio that is excellent. Work must demonstrate mastery of typography, layout, color, and composition across a range of brand contexts.
• A clear aesthetic point of view: you can articulate what makes something great and what makes something fall short, and you've built that perspective through years of rigorous practice.
• Fluency in brand systems: you understand how to build for scale and consistency, and you've stewarded a brand through growth or change.
• Proven ability to make complex information land: data visualization, infographics, and editorial design that turn dense material into something clear and compelling.
• Experience operating at a staff level: you work autonomously, influence without authority, and make decisions that shape the output of an entire team.
• Deep fluency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), across both digital and print formats.
• Experience with digital and web design: building component libraries, working with developers.
• Strong verbal, written, and presentation skills: you can communicate the process, intent, and impact of your design decisions with clarity.
• An AI-first mindset: hands-on experience bringing generative AI tools into real creative work, a clear-eyed view of where they help and where they fall short, and a genuine appetite to keep growing those skills as the tools evolve.

Preferred

• Motion design and animation
• 3D design
