Brand Designer

Full-time · New York, NY (SoHo) · Reports to the Head of Brand

About Merciv

Merciv is an AI-native consumer intelligence platform for leading enterprise brands. We emerged from stealth in early 2026 and work with some of the largest consumer companies in the world. We're building a top-tier design and marketing function from the ground up, and brand is central to how the market understands us.

The role

We're looking for a Brand Designer to own the day-to-day expression of the Merciv brand across every touchpoint - from sales decks and marketing assets to social, web, and campaigns. You'll work directly with the Head of Brand, taking creative direction and running with it: turning strategy into consistent, high-craft, on-brand work at startup speed. This is a high-ownership, hands-on seat for someone who wants their work everywhere the company shows up.

What you'll do

• Own day-to-day design production: sales and pitch decks, one-pagers, marketing and event assets.
• Design social and LinkedIn content that's on-brand and built to perform across platforms.
• Extend and maintain the brand system - typography, color, layout, motion - so everything Merciv ships feels consistent and considered.
• Design and update web pages and landing pages, taking work from concept to shipped.
• Support brand content and campaigns (launch/product videos, merch and apparel collabs) in partnership with contractors and vendors.
• Partner cross-functionally with GTM, sales, and product so brand shows up clearly in how we sell and communicate.
• Take creative direction and run with it - moving fast through iterations in a sprint cadence while protecting the quality bar.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years in brand / visual design, ideally in-house at a tech company or startup (agency backgrounds welcome if paired with in-house-style ownership).
• A standout portfolio - show, don't tell. Strong typographic rigor, visual judgment, and taste.
• Systems thinking: you build durable, flexible brand systems, not just one-off comps.
• Range across identity, layout, voice-aware content design, and digital - comfortable moving between decks, social, and web.
• Both strategic and hands-on: you take direction, defend choices with a clear rationale, and execute the details fast.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment with shifting priorities.
• AI-literate: uses modern AI tools to multiply your own output and unblock yourself.

Nice to have

• Experience with B2B / enterprise or consumer-tech brands.
• Web craft - can take a page from Figma concept to shipped.
• Motion / animation chops.
• Comfort directing external contractors (video, illustration, print) when needed.

How we work

• You'll report to and work closely with the Head of Brand, who sets creative direction; you'll own execution and increasingly the systems behind it.
• In-person in our SoHo office, collaborating daily with brand, GTM, and product.
• Tools: Figma, plus Notion and modern AI tooling as part of the daily workflow.

Hiring process

An intro call, a 60-minute portfolio deep dive, a short, time-boxed craft exercise on a hypothetical prompt (presented live), and a team + founder conversation with reference checks. Tight and respectful of your time - roughly two weeks end to end.

Merciv is building the future of autonomous commerce. We're committed to assembling a diverse team of builders who want to revolutionize how the world does business.
