Full Job Description
Overview

We're seeking a Senior Brand Designer who works where brand identity meets product. Embedded with product teams, you'll translate our brand into the experience itself - carrying brand principles through visual and narrative expression, into the design system, and out to shipped implementation. Your blend of identity craft and systems thinking will help build a consistent, distinctive brand presence across Copilot touchpoints. This is a hands-on role for a designer who cares as much about concept as execution, and who raises the bar for peers through their own work.

Responsibilities

  • Apply and extend our brand identity across product features, flows, and user journeys, turning brand principles into tangible experiences.
  • Own the brand expression of the surfaces you work on, from visual language through tone and narrative detail.
  • Partner with brand, product, and engineering to carry brand principles from design system into shipped implementation without losing fidelity.
  • Deliver high-craft brand experiences in AI applications, with attention to narrative, quality, and positive societal impact.
  • Contribute to and extend the design system so it expresses the brand, holds up across products and platforms, and is efficient for engineering to implement.
  • Help define and articulate the product's visual and verbal style within your area, partnering with marketing, engineering, UX, and research to maintain consistency.
  • Communicate clearly across teams, managing dependencies, schedules, and design integrity from concept through implementation.
  • Mentor designers and model a high standard for craft and inclusivity.
  • Turn brand and product goals into concrete design directions with measurable outcomes.
  • Contribute to a culture of experimentation, feedback, and continuous learning.


Qualifications

Required Qualifications:
  • Master's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 4+ years experience working in product or service design
    • OR Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Human Computer Interaction, User Experience, Interaction Design, or related field AND 5+ years experience working in product or service design
    • OR equivalent experience (e.g., demonstrated experience working in product or service design or using design thinking to solve problems).

Preferred Qualifications:
  • A portfolio showing 3+ years of brand work applied in product contexts - identity systems alongside evidence of how those systems held up on real product surfaces
  • Demonstrated ability to connect brand principles to design system architecture and engineering implementation with fidelity and scalability
  • Experience contributing to creative direction for complex, cross-platform products and building alignment across multifunctional teams
  • High level of craft in visual and experiential design, with the ability to translate brand narratives into intuitive digital experiences
  • Comfort using qualitative and quantitative insight to refine and validate brand expression in product
  • Desire or experience collaborating with engineering teams to ensure brand is reflected accurately in implementation
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-moving environment
  • Contributes to a positive, inclusive team culture that bridges brand and product thinking
