About us

Shapes is on a mission to reinvent how companies run their people operations in the AI era. We’re building the world’s first truly AI-native people platform, a single place where HR processes come together, get customized in minutes, and actually run themselves. We’re a small, fast-moving team that loves building ambitious things with a bias for action. If you want to shape the foundation of something big, not just plug into an existing machine, this is the place.

About the role

We're looking for our first brand & marketing designer. You'll own how we look, feel, and show up—from refining our visual identity to designing every asset that reaches our audience. You'll make prospects pause mid-scroll, help sales teams win deals, and give customers something worth sharing. You'll challenge traditional marketing playbooks, and stay relentlessly curious about new tools and methods. If you care for excellence, innovation, autonomy, and impact and making your mark early on – this one is for you.

What you'll do

• Evolve and sharpen our brand identity—define visual language, guidelines, and systems that scale across digital and physical touchpoints
• Design marketing assets that convert: web experiences, social content, landing pages, ad creatives, email templates, and everything that matters
• Create sales enablement materials: pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, leave-behinds, ROI calculators
• Design for real-world-marketing: swag, event booths, signage, and anything else we take into the real world
• Partner closely with product marketing, product design, and leadership to translate strategy into visuals that land
• Stay ahead of the curve—explore AI design tools, test new formats, and push what's possible
• Build fast, iterate faster—test designs, learn from data, and refine relentlessly
• ‍

What you have

• 3+ years designing for SaaS companies, ideally in early or growth-stage environments
• Strong portfolio showing brand work and marketing execution across digital (web, ads, email, social) and physical formats
• Deep craft in visual design, typography, layout, and storytelling through design
• Tech-savvy and tool-curious—you experiment with AI, explore new platforms, and challenge "how we've always done it"
• Business-minded: you understand how design impacts conversion, pipeline, and customer perception
• Comfortable with ambiguity and speed—you thrive when things move fast and priorities shift
• Experience with motion design - HUGE adventage
• Exceptional collaborator who’s fun to work with, and brings new ideas to the table
