From the employer
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
SR. BRAND DESIGNER
We are looking for a Senior Brand Designer to help shape how SpaceXSI shows up in the world. This role is built for someone who has built brand systems in fast-moving environments, cares deeply about craft, and brings an AI-first mindset to how creative work gets made. You'll join the Brand Studio, the team behind the brand across the entire SpaceXSI ecosystem (from Grok and Grok Bot to X), and help shape both the brand system itself and how it comes to life in our campaigns. This is a hands-on role.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Brand system: Evolve and extend the visual identity (logo, typography, color, layout, imagery, and graphic language) and document it so other teams can apply it correctly
Workflows & toolkits: Turn recurring design work into repeatable, AI-assisted workflows: templates, tools, and generators that let marketing, product, and other teams produce on-brand work without you in the room
Campaigns: Concept and design campaigns end to end, from first idea through final production, across key visuals, launch assets, web, social, paid, out-of-home, and print
Creative direction: Direct agencies and freelancers with clear briefs and candid feedback so the output meets the bar you'd set yourself
Collaboration: Partner with marketing, product, engineering, and leadership; bring a brand point of view to new surfaces as they appear, and present your thinking clearly to senior stakeholders
Range at speed: Move between projects quickly while holding a consistently high bar, and keep improving the process, not just the output
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
minimum of 4 years of brand design experience, in-house or at an agency or studio
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Fluency in AI coding tools, especially Cursor. You can build your own tools, scripts, prototypes, and simple web pages instead of waiting on engineering
A portfolio that shows both brand system work and shipped campaigns. Bonus if it includes tools or workflows you built
Sharp typography, layout, and art direction instincts
A systems mindset: you naturally turn one-off tasks into reusable processes and think about how creative work scales
Conviction in your design decisions and the ability to explain why they matter, to designers, marketers, and leadership alike
Fluency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud
Self-directed, fast, and energized by variety and ambiguity
Experience building or relaunching a brand identity at a fast-growing tech company
Motion sensibility, enough to design with motion in mind and direct motion designers
Experience leading agencies on large, multi-channel campaigns
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Onsite role: must be able to work in person at the San Francisco or New York office
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
Annual Salary:
