We are a team of 50+ professionals passionate about shaping the future of talent decisions.
Role Overview
As our Senior Brand Designer, you will own Skillvue’s visual identity end-to-end, from building and maintaining our identity system to producing sharp, curated content across social, product, and science communication. This is a hands-on creative leadership role requiring both strategic thinking and strong execution. You will craft the visual language that makes a complex, AI-powered product feel clear, credible, and compelling, and bring it to life through motion, video, and brand storytelling.
Beyond identity, this person will play a crucial role in co-leading content marketing and growth marketing, owning the creative output across campaigns, events, and every touchpoint where Skillvue shows up in front of new prospects and existing clients.

- Art-direct all brand expressions: website, product launches, marketing content, outbound campaigns, events, and hiring campaigns
- Craft sharp messaging in close collaboration with founders, product, marketing, and sales teams
- Produce and edit video content end-to-end, from concept and storyboard through motion design, editing, and final delivery across all formats

- Translate complex AI and science concepts into clear, engaging visual narratives
