Brand Designer

Monstro is a governed AI platform for regulated financial institutions. We give banks and wealth managers a way to deliver trusted advice digitally — to every client, not just the top tier. Institutions already have the relationships, data, and context to understand each client. Monstro turns that understanding into advice. It gives every client the experience of a personal advisor: bringing together their full financial picture, identifying what matters, and delivering personalized guidance across investments, tax, retirement, insurance, legal, and more. For clients, that means clearer decisions, proactive support when life changes, and a better view of their financial lives. For institutions, it means deeper relationships, more clients served consistently, and more of each client’s financial life managed in one place. What makes this possible is how the system is built. Every recommendation reflects the institution’s own views, policies, and permissions. Every output is auditable, traceable, and reversible, and client data stays under the institution’s control. Generative AI shapes how advice is designed; at runtime, execution is deterministic — so every output can be explained and stood behind, not just trusted. The Work We're building a category-defining company in one of the most important applications of AI. Just as importantly, we're building the brand that represents it. Design at Monstro isn't about making things look good. It's about creating trust. Every visual decision—from our website and investor materials to sales collateral, product marketing, and events—helps communicate who we are and why financial institutions should trust us with mission‑critical technology. As one of our earliest design hires, you'll help define how Monstro shows up to customers, partners, investors, and future employees. You'll have meaningful ownership from day one, work directly with company leadership, and help build a visual identity that evolves alongside the company. About the Role We're looking for a Brand Designer who thrives in fast-moving startup environments and enjoys wearing multiple hats. This is a hands‑on role for someone who loves building brands from the ground up, can move comfortably between strategy and execution, and enjoys bringing consistency across every customer touchpoint. A key part of this role is taking Monstro's brand into the US and Middle East markets — not by replicating what's been done before, but by challenging the status quo to find the boldest, most authentic representation of who we are in these new markets. You’ll work across brand identity, web, marketing, sales enablement, recruiting, events, and digital experiences. One day you might be refining our website, the next designing investor materials, building launch assets for a product release, creating trade show graphics, or developing a new set of brand guidelines. This is an opportunity to become a true creative owner within an early‑stage AI company where your work will be seen — and used — every day across the business. What You’ll Own Brand Identity & Creative Systems Help evolve and scale Monstro’s visual identity across every touchpoint, with a focus on expanding our presence into the US and Middle East Develop and maintain brand guidelines, templates, and design systems that ensure consistency as we grow across markets Create thoughtful visual solutions that communicate trust, clarity, and technical excellence — adapted for cultural context, not just translated Challenge conventional approaches to find the most compelling representation of our brand in each new market Digital & Web Design and continuously improve our website and digital presence Partner with Product and Engineering to create polished digital experiences that align with our brand Support light UI and visual design work where appropriate Marketing & Go‑to‑Market Design campaign assets across digital, email, social media, and product launches Create compelling visuals that help tell Monstro’s story across multiple channels and markets Produce quick‑turn creative assets while maintaining a consistently high quality bar Sales, Recruiting & Corporate Communications Design presentations, investor materials, sales collateral, one‑pagers, and recruiting assets Support executive communications with polished, high‑impact visual materials Help elevate every external interaction with a consistent and professional brand experience Events & Physical Experiences Design conference booths, signage, printed collateral, merchandise, and other physical brand materials Ensure our in‑person presence reflects the same quality and consistency as our digital experience, including at regional events in the US and Middle East What We’re Looking For 2.5+ years of experience across Brand, Visual, Graphic, UX/UI, Product, or Interactive Design, ideally within a startup or high‑growth technology company A strong portfolio demonstrating range across brand identity, digital product, and campaign or marketing design Proven ability to translate brand strategy into compelling visual systems — from brand guidelines to UI components to interactive experiences Experience designing for global or multi‑market audiences, with an understanding of how cultural context shapes visual language, tone, and user experience A track record of challenging convention rather than defaulting to industry norms — someone who asks "why does it have to look like this?" before reaching for the familiar Comfort working in ambiguity and shaping direction from the ground up, rather than executing against a fully defined brief Strong collaboration skills, with experience partnering closely with product, marketing, and leadership to align design decisions with business goals Excellent craft and attention to detail across typography, layout, color, and motion Why Monstro?
