Brand Designer

Clera
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 8/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/2/2026
About The Role

This is a rare opportunity to own brand design end-to-end at a fast-moving, enterprise-grade AI platform company based in Berlin. You'll have real creative latitude to shape how the company is experienced across every touchpoint — from the website and design system to merch, office spaces, and event booths. You'll work on a small team where your decisions are visible, your taste matters, and the feedback loops are fast.

The company operates in the B2B AI/SaaS space, helping large organisations securely adopt and integrate generative AI across their operations. The brand needs to earn trust and feel sharp — and you'll be the person making that happen.

What You'll Do

  • Own and evolve the design system, maintaining components, tokens, and visual patterns built for reuse and scale.
  • Design high-quality merchandise, brief suppliers, iterate on samples, and make final calls on materials and quality.
  • Shape physical spaces — the office, event setups, and conference booths — to craft intentional brand experiences.
  • Lead special creative projects end-to-end, from product launch moments to one-off campaigns and collaborations.
  • Maintain the website's visual and frontend quality, shipping production-ready updates independently without a ticket queue.
  • Move fluidly between Figma, supplier briefs, and vendor conversations while keeping multiple projects moving forward.
  • Treat brand as a complete experience, aligning objects, spaces, and screens into a cohesive point of view.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate workflows without sacrificing craft or judgment.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • 5 years of brand design experience delivering end-to-end brand experiences — design systems, merchandise, and physical spaces.
  • Strong Figma skills and the ability to ship designs in production with frontend implementation (no handoff to developers).
  • Proven track record leading high-visibility creative projects from concept to delivery, including launch moments and campaigns.
  • Design system ownership: components, tokens, visual patterns, and scalable reusable assets.
  • Experience shaping physical spaces for offices, events, or exhibitions.
  • Merch production experience: briefing suppliers, iterating on samples, assessing quality.
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity — able to define a brief when none exists.
  • Collaborative and kind, with the ability to defend design decisions with clear taste and rigour.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with colour token creation or accessibility considerations in design systems.
  • Motion design or animation capabilities to augment brand storytelling.
  • Practical use of AI tools to accelerate design work.

Location & Work Arrangement

This role is on-site in Berlin, Germany. Visa sponsorship is not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation details were not provided for this role. Expect a competitive package in line with a well-funded early-stage startup in Berlin, with meaningful equity upside and direct creative ownership from day one.
