# Brand Designer at Highbeam

- **Company:** Highbeam
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-09-21
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-22
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/highbeam/e16ff992-5857-43ee-87a9-8a0db6dc49b9

## Job description

Highbeam is building the future of business banking and cash management. Our platform combines AI agents, automated financial workflows, and integrated financial products that save brands time and money. Customers have generated billions in sales and include well-known brands such as [Cuts](https://www.cutsclothing.com/), [Tushy](https://hellotushy.com/), [Rocco](https://roccofridge.com), [Sabah](https://www.sabah.am/), [Still Here](https://www.stillhere.nyc/), [Alice Mushrooms](https://alicemushrooms.com/), [Original Grain](https://www.originalgrain.com/), [birddogs](https://www.birddogs.com/), and more. Our team includes alumni of Shopify, Square, Toast, Rippling, and McKinsey. We’ve raised $42M in equity from Acrew, FirstMark, Mayfield, and Two Sigma Ventures.

## About this role

We're hiring a brand and motion designer to build Highbeam's visual identity from the ground up — and make it move. You'll work closely product and GTM and work alongside our founders on how the company presents itself. This is a full-stack brand role. Identity, campaigns, motion, illustration: you define them, systematize them, and ship them yourself.

Since we've never hired for this role before we're hoping this to be a contract to start engagement with the hopes of it converting to full time. Which also means we're open to remote candidates as well.

## What you'll work on

- The rebrand. Highbeam is a serious financial platform that doesn't yet look like one. You'll help rebuild the identity from the foundations — type, color, logo, illustration, the visual expression of our voice — and turn it into guidelines and kits the rest of the team can actually use without asking you first.
- Marketing surfaces. [highbeam.co](http://highbeam.co), launch campaigns, lifecycle email, social, paid creative, sales and event collateral. You'll take concepts from idea to shipped, and bring in external partners when the work is bigger than one person.
- Motion. Launch films and social video on the marketing side; transitions, empty states, onboarding, and Luma's thinking states on the product side. You'll define how Highbeam moves and hand production-ready assets to engineering.
- Illustration and 3D. Cash flow, working capital, ad spend, an AI analyst reasoning about someone's money — abstract concepts that need a visual language before they're understandable. You'll build the system that explains them.

## Who you are

- 4+ years in brand design, graphic design, or art direction, ideally on consumer or modern tech brands. We're open to a wide range of experiences and seniority for the right talent.
- A portfolio with exceptional visual execution across surfaces — web, mobile, social, email, print. A portfolio is required; applications without one won't be reviewed.
- Obsessive about fundamentals: type, layout, color, composition, hierarchy — and able to apply them across disciplines rather than only the one you trained in.
- Real motion chops. After Effects, Cavalry, Rive, or equivalent, with comfort shipping to an engineering team and responding to format, sizing, and performance requirements.

You'll thrive at Highbeam if...

- You love working in-person with a high-performing team
- You enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment
- You are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments
- You care about delivering a polished customer experience
- Bonus: You have experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups

## What we offer

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Comprehensive health & benefits package
- Generous PTO
- $1K/year stipend to purchase our customers' products
- $100/mo wellness stipend
- Yearly offsite—last year we went to Mexico City!
- In-office perks: Commute covered and $20/day lunch stipend
- Great location: Our NYC office is in NoHo, a short walk from the A,C,E · B,D,F,M · N,Q,R,W · 1 · 6 trains. Our Toronto office is downtown near St. Andrew Station.
