Remote
Senior Brand Designer
About this role
About Customer.io Over 9,000 companies — from scrappy startups to global brands — use our platform to send billions of emails, push notifications, in-app messages, and SMS every day. Customer.io powers automated communication that people actually want to receive. We help teams send smarter, more relevant messages using real-time behavioral data. About the role Hi, my name is Justin Howie, Head of Brand Studio at Customer.io , and I'm looking for a Senior Brand Designer to join our small, close-knit creative team.
Brand Studio is the creative engine behind how Customer.io shows up in the world, from product launches and campaigns to the website and live events. We move fast, care deeply about craft, and operate at the intersection of strategy and production. Our team is moving from a production function to a systems and platform team, powered by AI and self-serve tooling. AI sits at the center of how we work, and you'll shape how Brand Studio and the wider company use it for ideation, production, and self-serve creation.
You'll own brand design execution across our biggest moments, and you'll build the templates, components, and AI-assisted workflows that let the rest of the company create on brand without waiting on us. You'll work closely with our Brand Designers, Motion Designer, Web Engineer, Product Designers, and Marketers. This is a senior role with a runway. We're looking for a highly seasoned designer with strong business acumen, who manages up well and mentors others, and who we expect to grow into a Staff or Art Director role once you've proven yourself here.
If you lead with Design Craft, live at the frontier of AI for brand and creative, and want to build systems that help a whole company look and sound like one brand, this role is for you. What we value Design Craft with speed — You hold high standards and know how to hit deadlines. Curiosity about what's next — You stay on the leading edge of brand and creative, from new AI tools to new techniques, and you share what you learn.
AI-native by default — You reach for AI first, test what works on real projects, and teach others how. Collaboration over silos — You work closely with designers, developers, and marketers, and the output gets better because of it. Bias for action — You'd rather ship something great and iterate than wait for perfect, and you're energized by building. Clear communication — You ask the right questions, set clear expectations, and keep stakeholders in the loop without being asked.
