Job description
- Application
- Build a Safer World.
- TRM Labs provides AI-powered intelligence solutions that help public and private sector agencies investigate and disrupt crime. TRM's platforms enable investigators to trace illicit activity, build cases, and construct operating pictures of threat networks. Leading agencies and businesses worldwide rely on TRM to make the world safer and more secure.
- TRM is hiring a Senior Brand Designer to own meaningful, visible brand design across campaigns, web, social, events, sales and marketing, and reports. As TRM has grown, the brand has become one of its most important assets, and this individual-contributor craft role has real ownership over its own projects, room to take big swings, and the support of a creative team that cares about getting it right. You will work within TRM’s creative direction and help it evolve through the projects you take on.
Responsibilities
- Design and deliver brand work end-to-end at consistently high craft — campaigns, web, social, events, reports, and collateral — using AI to explore more directions before committing while keeping taste human-led.
- Apply and extend TRM’s creative direction with strong typographic, layout, imagery, and color decisions, and use AI-assisted workflows to reach a strong first pass faster.
- Translate complex, data-heavy subject matter into infographics and data visualizations that land for technical and non-technical audiences, using AI to speed production of variations.
- Contribute to and work fluently within TRM’s brand systems, building repeatable AI-assisted brand-asset workflows so the work scales without losing soul — and flag when the system needs to bend.
- Bring AI-assisted tools into your iteration, production, and share what you learn so the team builds fluency together; human taste and judgment lead, AI extends range and speed.
- Collaborate in critique with strategists, copywriters, and product marketing, and support art direction of external creatives, bringing an AI-informed point of view on where the tools help and where they fall short.
Requirements
- 6+ years of brand design experience, including time in high-craft environments (agency, editorial, elevated consumer, or design-forward tech).
- An excellent portfolio with strong command of typography, layout, color, and composition, and a clear aesthetic point of view.
- An AI-first mindset: hands-on experience bringing generative AI into real creative work, a 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 — data visualization, infographics, and editorial design.
- Master fluency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite across digital and print, with experience using component libraries and partnering with external developers.
- Autonomy: you scope your own work, ask the right questions early, and bring things to a finished standard without close supervision.
