Lead Brand Designer at Trackonomy in San Jose, California

Job description

• At Trackonomy, design isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about elevating perception, shaping company value, and turning complex ideas into compelling stories. We’re looking for a Lead Brand Designer who can both execute and lead—someone with the design chops to move fast and produce high-quality deliverables, and own the creative vision for Trackonomy’s brand, evolving and elevating it over time.
• This is a hands-on role that sits at the intersection of visual storytelling, brand systems, and cross-functional collaboration. You’ll work closely with the CEO, marketing, and sales leadership to define, implement, and raise the standard of design across every external and internal touchpoint. From large-scale creative vision, to pitch decks, sales sheets, event graphics and more, your work will be foundational to how the world sees Trackonomy.
• We’re looking for someone who can own the function, not just respond to requests—someone who brings a strong point of view and can lead the brand’s evolution while rolling up their sleeves to get the work done.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve Trackonomy’s brand across digital, print, physical, and presentation formats
• Execute high-impact design work across multiple formats—especially decks, one-pagers, and digital collateral
• Drive visual storytelling for key business priorities: product launches, sales enablement, executive decks, events, campaigns, and more
• Build scalable, flexible design systems and templates that enforce brand consistency across teams
• Partner directly with the CEO and leadership team to deliver polished, high-quality design on tight timelines and in fast feedback loops
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve and extend the brand across new channels and use cases
• Lead small brand initiatives (e.g. identity refinements, contractor management, style updates) and help scope larger future evolutions (e.g. full rebrand, motion/video assets)
• Act as the domain expert on brand design—a go-to resource for teams like Sales and Marketing to ensure brand alignment
• Over time, help source and manage external resources (e.g. motion designers, 3D artists, interns) as needed to scale output

Requirements

• 6-10+ years of experience in brand, visual, or communication design, preferably in a startup or fast-paced, cross-functional environment
• A portfolio that demonstrates range, polish, and systems thinking—particularly across pitch decks, digital content, brand identity, and marketing collateral
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and PowerPoint,
• Experience supporting go-to-market teams and responding to high-velocity design needs with creativity and quality
• A creative point of view and comfort advising leadership on brand direction
• Ability to rally and manage other creatives, contractors, and freelancers to fill creative gaps during high-workload periods.
• Proven ability to both execute independently and collaborate cross-functionally
• Comfortable working under ambiguity, pressure, and evolving priorities—this is a startup, and we move fast
