Brand designer
London · Full-time · Reports to Founding Designer
About Paraglide
Paraglide is a fast-growing AI startup, backed by the investors behind Claude, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. We build AI agents for back-office finance teams, helping them manage their email inbox and get paid faster.
The role
We're looking for a Brand Designer to shape our visual storytelling across every medium. You'll work closely with the CEO/Founder, marketing, and product to bring our ideas to life - visuals that engage customers and amplify our brand online, at events, and beyond.
This role suits someone who thrives in fast-paced, async environments and wants to solve real problems for finance teams with AI. You'll lead and execute projects across formats - presentations, print, product animation - building a cohesive brand presence throughout. You move quickly, iterate as you go, and are comfortable turning ambiguity into your own brief.
What you'll do
- Design landing pages, campaign sites, and web experiences people stop scrolling for
- Evolve our visual language - typography, layout, imagery, motion
- Partner with the Founding Designer to bring brand into the product, not just around it
- Work with the CEO and marketing to make sure paraglide.ai tells the right story at the right moment
- Build a visual system that stays consistent but leaves room for surprises
- Hold a high bar for craft, even under deadline pressure
- Define what "world-class" looks like for our marketing site
- Create video and motion content - LinkedIn, product demos, event recaps
- Design promo material: flyers, booths, banners, one-pagers, social, ads
- Build sales decks and keynote templates that punch above our size
- Use AI tools to move faster and get more done
Must have
- A portfolio of shipped websites showing strong visual craft and brand thinking
- Brand, marketing, and web portfolio (not primarily product/UI)
- A sharp eye for typography, layout, colour, and motion - you know what's on-brand
- Experience working closely with engineers to ship ideas without losing the idea
- You've shipped your own designs to production, AI-assisted or not
- Strong in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud
Nice to have
- A point of view on where web design is headed
- After Effects, Premiere, Midjourney, Runway, or similar
- Familiar with Framer or Webflow
- Experience contributing to a shared design system across product and brand
- Strong illustration skills
We welcome a wide range of backgrounds: in-house startup designers, small-agency designers, self-taught creators. What matters is the evidence that you ship great work, fast.
You could be a graduate designer that's AI-native or a senior designer that's been building great brands for several years. We're really open to finding the right person that can take us to the next level.
What we offer
- A front-row seat at a fast-growing, VC-backed AI company
- Real ownership from day one — you are the creative team, not a pair of hands
- Your work everywhere: our website, our events, our social, our sales floor
- Office on Adam Street, central London
- A competitive salary dependant on experience
Location & working pattern
This is an hybrid role - at least 3 days per week in our London office which is by Embankment station.
