From the employer

About Runlayer

AI is transforming how every company operates, but most enterprises are stuck. They want to move fast with AI Agents, tools, and workflows, but they can't do it safely. We're fixing that.

Our team built AI Actions for OpenAI, shipped Zapier Agents to millions of users, and launched the first remote MCP server with Anthropic. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually put AI to work.

Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents: purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can go all-in on AI across the entire company without the risk. We just raised a $30M Series A led by Felicis, with participation from Khosla Ventures, bringing our total raised to $42M. Already trusted by Gusto, Instacart, Opendoor, dbt Labs, and Decagon.

About the Role

This role is Runlayer’s first brand designer and will partner closely with marketing and product design to help define how Runlayer shows up across all our web and in-person surfaces. This role is for a designer who is comfortable owning decisions, setting a high bar, and building a brand with intention while keeping the pace that a startup demands.

You’ll be responsible for defining, shaping, and launching the Runlayer brand as a system. You’ll be collaborating with the design and marketing teams while delivering impact across the entire company. This role reports to the VP of Marketing.

What You’ll Do

Lead brand execution for Runlayer across marketing, web, events, sales, balancing foundational system work with high-visibility brand moments.
Design sales enablement materials like decks, one-pagers, and templates.
Design marketing materials like OG cards, webpages, social posts, trade show booth design, and swag.
Build generative AI brand tools, templates and standards that increase the speed and quality of brand work across the company.
Partner closely with product design to create a cohesive relationship between brand and product, and helping to raise the craft bar across both.

What We’re Looking For

Someone with a strong creative POV and a track record of defining or meaningfully evolving a brand.
Someone comfortable operating as a team of one in design, while being closely embedded in a collaborative marketing team.
Someone who brings strong opinions loosely held, is open to feedback, and who has the judgment to know when to move fast and when to sweat the details.
Someone who enjoys working across web, campaigns, print, events, decks, and motion, and want your work to show up everywhere.
Interest in building custom AI tooling to scale brand work.
Proficiency in a range of design and presentation tools, from Figma and Paper to Google Slides.
