Aspect is looking for a full-time Founding Designer to bring our brand to life across our website, social channels, product launches, and events.

Aspect is a platform for media teams to store, organize, and manage video assets. Learn more at aspect.inc.

Our brand is already well defined. We’re looking for someone with strong creative taste who can learn the product and brand quickly, bring fresh ideas, and turn them into thoughtful, polished work. This is a hands-on role focused on brand, marketing, and content design. You’ll work directly with the founders to help Aspect reach creative and post-production teams.

  • Design and create social content and campaigns.
  • Develop creative assets for product and feature launches.
  • Create visuals and help write content for our blog and website.
  • Bring customer stories to life.
  • Design materials for events, dinners, and other activations.
  • Research interesting campaigns, visual references, and ideas from other brands.
  • Help distribute content and keep our brand consistent across channels.

What we’re looking for

  • Strong creative taste and an eye for typography, layout, color, and imagery.
  • Hands-on experience with Figma, Photoshop, and Midjourney.
  • Strong writing skills and the ability to communicate ideas clearly.
  • An interest in technology, media, and branding.
  • Someone who can take an idea from inspiration to execution and work comfortably within an established brand.
  • Experience taking a product, brand, or channel from 0 to 1, ideally at an early-stage startup or high-growth company.
  • Highly experimental and self-directed, with the ability to move fast, take ownership, and work through ambiguity.
  • Strong instincts for distribution across social, creators, community, and events.

Details

  • Work remotely or from our Midtown Manhattan office.
  • Full time.
  • Paid.
  • Starting November.
  • Lunch and dinner covered.
