Opportunity Overview

We are looking for a proactive, design-driven Content & Brand Designer who understands both clean visual design and modern social media execution.

This is a versatile, startup-style role for someone who goes beyond just doing "what they are asked." You will take raw data, tight briefs, statistical insights, and brand assets, transforming them into crisp, easy-to-digest editorial graphics, social posts, and high-stakes presentation decks.

You should be a "startup generalist" at heart—someone who cares deeply about brand identity, understands modern content consumption habits (how people read, scroll, and engage on platforms like X/Twitter and LinkedIn), and is comfortable stepping in to schedule, post, and support social strategy when needed.
