Brand Designer

About TruckSmarter Trucking powers the American economy, moving 71% of the nation’s freight and representing nearly $900 billion in annual spend. Yet despite its scale, the industry still runs on fragmented systems, phone calls, emails, tribal knowledge, and manual coordination. TruckSmarter is changing that, starting with the people at the center of it all: truck drivers and small carriers. We’re a team of fewer than 25 building Dispatch, an AI-powered operating layer for freight. Think Claude Code for trucking. Dispatch helps carriers navigate a constantly changing freight market, reason through complex tradeoffs, and execute operational workflows on their behalf. The product is live, drivers are using it, and we’re now focused on making Dispatch dramatically smarter and more capable. The Role TruckSmarter is hiring a Brand Designer to help re-build and scale our brand as we roll out a new wave of AI-powered products. This is a hands‑on, high‑ownership role with real room to grow. You'll work closely with our design manager and the broader leadership team to bring TruckSmarter's brand to life across product, marketing, and everything in between. Your work will ship fast and show up in front of real customers. We're a small, cross‑functional crew of designers, product managers, engineers, and operators. We move quickly, collaborate tightly, and care deeply about craft, but we care just as much about getting things out the door. If you like scrappy teams, real responsibility, and building something that actually makes customers' lives better, you'll feel right at home here.
