We are open to remote candidates located within PST to GMT time zones.

At Metalab, we design some of the world’s most beloved digital products. From zero-to-one startups to global enterprises, we help teams invent categories, launch bold ideas, and build products people love.

Now, we’re looking for a Senior Brand Designer own the direction of our visual brand and to help us tell those stories.

This is not a traditional marketing design role. It’s a narrative-driven brand design position embedded within our marketing team. Your job is to translate product thinking, design craft, and strategic impact into visual stories that earn attention and drive new business.

You’ll own and evolve how Metalab shows up in the world. From case studies and launch moments to showreels, landing pages, campaigns, and social storytelling, you’ll craft the visual narratives that showcase our work at the level it deserves.

You are a designer who believes great storytelling is design. You sweat the details, understand product deeply, and you know how to turn complex flows, systems, and strategy into clear, compelling, emotionally resonant stories.

This role reports directly to Marketing and works closely with Brand, Product Design, Client Partners, and Leadership. You’ll be deeply connected to the wider design team, with opportunities for mentorship and continued growth.

Why This Role Matters

Metalab has shaped products worth billions. But great work only creates opportunity when it’s told well.

This role ensures our story is told with the same level of intention, craft, and ambition as the products we design.

If you care about narrative. If you believe design is what makes products unforgettable. If you want to shape how one of the industry’s most respected product design studios shows up in the world, we’d love to talk.
