> Nectar's first Brand Designer will define the company's visual identity system and own brand execution across marketing, product, social, and sales collateral. Requires 4+ years brand/visual design experience with strong systems thinking and portfolio.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Define and evolve Nectar's visual identity (logo, typography, color, iconography, motion) into a system flexible enough to work across web, product, social, and print
- Own brand execution across the website, landing pages, pitch decks, one-pagers, and sales collateral
- Design social and campaign creative that captures Nectar's voice across launches, announcements, and always-on content
- Build and document brand guidelines that can scale as the team and company grow
- Partner closely with founders, marketing, and early product/engineering hires to keep brand and product experience consistent
- Help shape and eventually grow the design team you're the first member of

## What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of brand or visual design experience, ideally including startup or agency work spanning multiple brand touchpoints
- A portfolio that demonstrates systems thinking, featuring cohesive identities that hold together across many formats, not just standalone pieces
- Comfort setting direction with little existing process: you'll be writing the playbook, not just following one
- Strong typography, layout, and color instincts; fluency in Figma (motion/video tools a plus)
- Genuine curiosity about AI and how it's reshaping marketing, though no technical background is required

**Nice to have:** experience designing for B2B SaaS, martech, or social/community platforms

## What We Offer
- Competitive compensation and early equity
- Health, vision, and dental benefits + 401(k) match
- Clear career growth opportunities as the company scales
- Free lunch in the heart of University Ave. in Palo Alto
- Deep exposure to cutting-edge AI tooling and the opportunity to shape how brands use it
- A collaborative, ambitious team defining a new category of AI-native marketing infrastructure
