About the role
Brand design shapes how every venture looks, sounds and feels, from the Clexerl wordmark to the product interface, the conference slide and the launch film. We keep a shared visual system that lets each venture have its own character while still reading as one company. The brand is a working system, not a poster: it has tokens, components and rules that engineers can build against.
Good design makes a complicated product legible. Clexerl Go has to feel calm for people who spend all day in tasks and schedules, while Autonomy & Sensing needs visualisations that make lidar and radar data readable at a glance. Frontier AI's research needs clear, honest figures. The brand team works with each venture's designers to keep these expressions consistent, and feeds what it learns back into the shared system.
We review work in critique sessions with engineers present, and we publish the reasons behind each decision in the system's documentation.
What you’ll do
- Design logos, wordmarks, colour systems and typography for ventures, with clear rules for use across print and screen.
- Extend the shared design tokens and component library, specifying states, spacing and accessibility behaviour for engineers.
- Produce launch materials, including motion graphics, product screenshots, social assets and presentation templates.
- Art-direct photography, illustration and video, briefing external creatives and reviewing their work against the brand.
- Run design critiques with venture teams, and document each decision in the brand guidelines with its reasoning.
- Check contrast, motion and layout against accessibility standards before anything ships, and fix what fails.
- Build data visualisation styles for charts, dashboards and figures, working with research teams on how they are read.
What you’ll bring
- A strong portfolio of identity, product or brand work, with examples that show your reasoning as well as the finished pieces.
- Advanced skill in Figma, plus working knowledge of how design tokens are handled in code.
- Understanding of typography, colour theory and layout systems that scale from a business card to a product interface.
- Experience with motion design or video editing, enough to art-direct a launch film and brief specialists well.
- Comfort giving and receiving critique, with the ability to defend a decision and change it when the evidence says so.
- Working knowledge of WCAG contrast and interaction guidelines, applied as a matter of course.
Nice to have
- Experience designing for AI products, such as conversational interfaces, agent activity views or model output presentation.
- Background in data visualisation or scientific figures, including accessible colour palettes for complex data.
- Experience maintaining a design system used by several product teams at once.
- Basic front-end skills in HTML, CSS or React, enough to prototype a component in code.

- 03
Produce a launch film for a new venture, from storyboard through to a set of cut-down assets for each channel.
