Job Summary

Lead a two-direction brand evolution for Picnic, delivering a consolidated, handoff-ready identity system that scales across web, decks, LinkedIn, and events, with clear recommendations and a single source of truth for all surfaces.

  • Brand Architecture: evolve two directions with a recommendation and consolidate into a web-ready brand guide.
  • Surface Consistency: apply visuals across website, sales decks, LinkedIn, and events with a unified voice and data-conscious language.
  • Collaboration & Handoff: partner with founder-level stakeholders and deliver a web-designer-ready package.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Brand evolution
  • Specifically: how the palette is applied and weighted, how typography creates hierarchy and authority, how visual language conveys data and precision, how spacing and density shift to feel more sophisticated.
  • You will present a minimum of two directions with a clear recommendation. Both must be shown in context, applied to a realistic brand surface — not just swatches and type specimens.
  • The primary output feeds a website redesign, so at least one application should show what premium and tech-forward looks like on a web surface.
  • It also needs to work across sales decks, LinkedIn, and event materials.
  • You will produce a consolidated document incorporating all approved decisions — ready for handoff to a web designer and for ongoing use across the business. This is the artefact that makes the work usable: every surface the brand appears on should be able to draw from it.

Requirements

  • Senior B2B brand specialist — portfolio of visual brand evolution work specifically. We want to see elevations of existing brand, not new brand
  • Experience in adtech, martech, or a similarly complex B2B technology environment — you need to understand what our audiences care about
  • Comfortable working with a founder who has clear creative instincts and will want to be closely involved in direction

Preferred

  • Familiarity with programmatic advertising or the digital media industry
  • Track record with founder-led scale-ups at a similar stage

Benefits

  • Remote and flexible
  • You'll have direct access to our Marketing Manager (Ellie) and CEO (Matt) who will be closely involved in creative decisions
  • We move fast. We want someone who can make decisions, move at pace
