happyco - Brand Designer

• Create brand and campaign assets across digital, print, social, events, and motion, from concept to final output, with ownership of quality at every stage. • Design for web and follow it through to production, whether working in a no-code environment, using Claude Code, or collaborating directly in a front-end context. • Contribute to video and motion work including brand animation, product storytelling, event content, and kinetic identity. • Build brand templates, component libraries, and self-serve tools that allow the wider organization to produce quality work independently. • Build and iterate on AI-assisted brand workflows that connect brand intelligence to the tools and channels Marketing, Sales, and the wider org depend on. • Audit and resolve brand inconsistencies across channels and self-serve materials. • Write brand guidance that explains the thinking behind decisions, not just the rules, so people can make good calls in situations the guidelines don't anticipate. • Work with Marketing, Sales, and Product as a creative partner, engaging early in briefs and bringing brand perspective into the process from the start. • Measure and analyze the successes and failures of your work, and iterate on what you learn. You don't ship and move on — each project sharpens your judgment and makes the next one stronger. • What We Think You Need to be Successful • 3 to 6 years of brand design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating range, craft, and a clear creative point of view across real shipped work. • Strong visual fundamentals in typography, layout, color, and composition, or motion fundamentals if that is your primary background. • Agency background with a desire to take on more end-to-end ownership than client work typically affords. • Experience in motion design, brand animation, or product storytelling. • No-code or low-code build experience, particularly in a brand or marketing context. • Experience building brand enablement resources — templates, guides, or self-serve tools — that non-designers actually use. • A considered, experience-based view on AI in creative work: where it helps, where it falls short, and how you calibrate between the two. • An ownership instinct: you see work through, and handoff is the exception, not the default. • Strongly valued: • Hands-on experience with AI build tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Lovable, or Figma Make, producing real output rather than just exploring the interfaces. • Demonstrable front-end web capability: you've taken design work live using no-code, low-code, or AI-assisted build tools. • Comfort working across timezones with teammates in Australia and North America. • Brand or campaign design experience in a SaaS or B2B technology context. • Keys to Optimum Happiness at HappyCo • Brings genuine craft and creative conviction to everything they make. • Builds for scale, not just the brief in front of them. • Enables others through systems and tools, not one-to-one service. • Uses AI actively and critically — to extend capability, not replace judgment. • Measures the impact of their work and iterates on what they learn. • Thrives in a small, high-trust team where ownership is real and the remit is broad. • Strongly valued:
