TRM Labs is hiring a Senior Brand Designer to own meaningful, visible brand design across campaigns, web, social, events, sales and marketing, and reports. TRM provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. As the brand has become one of TRM's most important assets, this individual-contributor role has real ownership over its own projects, room to take big swings, and the support of a creative team focused on craft excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and deliver brand work end-to-end at consistently high craft across campaigns, web, social, events, reports, and collateral, using AI to explore more directions while keeping taste human-led.
- Apply and extend TRM's creative direction with strong typographic, layout, imagery, and color decisions, leveraging AI-assisted workflows to reach strong first passes faster.
- Translate complex, data-heavy subject matter into infographics and data visualizations that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Contribute to and work fluently within TRM's brand systems, building repeatable AI-assisted brand-asset workflows that scale without losing soul.
- Bring AI-assisted tools into iteration and production, sharing learnings so the team builds fluency together with human taste and judgment leading.
- Collaborate in critique with strategists, copywriters, and product marketing; support art direction of external creatives with an AI-informed point of view.
The role operates within a distributed-first, async-first collaboration model with primary overlap in US working hours. The team spans the US, Canada, and Argentina. You will work within a feedback-rich culture where thoughtful critique drives improvement. Within 30 days, you'll ship your first brand pieces end-to-end; within 60 days, take a flagship campaign or report from brief to delivered; within 90 days, stand up at least one repeatable AI-assisted workflow the team adopts.
TRM is a Series C company with $220M in total funding, backed by Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Y Combinator, Thoma Bravo, and others. Headquartered in San Francisco, TRM operates as a distributed-first company with hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C., London, and Singapore.
Requirements:
- 6+ years of brand design experience, including time in high-craft environments (agency, editorial, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech).
- Excellent portfolio with strong command of typography, layout, color, and composition, and a clear aesthetic point of view.
- AI-first mindset: hands-on experience bringing generative AI into real creative work, clear view of where it helps and falls short, and appetite to keep growing those skills.
- Fluency in brand systems: designing for scale and consistency without being boxed in.
- Proven ability to make complex information land through data visualization, infographics, and editorial design.
- Master fluency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite across digital and print, with experience using component libraries and partnering with external developers.
- Autonomy: scope your own work, ask the right questions early, and bring things to finished standard without close supervision.
- AI fluency is a baseline expectation; you should be among the top 10 percent of operators in your function in how you apply AI to accelerate workflows, structure problems, improve output quality, and increase speed and leverage.
