🎯 About the position

You own visual identity and the brand system across the portfolio end to end: from moodboards and design code to production-ready assets for products, web/mobile, and content.

Primary focus is hands-on art direction as the sole individual contributor on visual brand: one brand line, quality standards, key surfaces. The second layer is hands-on work in Figma, AI-generated static assets, and motion for social.

Visuals usually break at the seams, not on the logo: landing, UI, social, and AI videos can look like different brands, so the portfolio never reads as one picture. Your priority is one recognizable style across products (web and mobile), the look for AI Video Creator, and a steady stream of materials for Reels, Shorts, YouTube, and releases. Tasks come from the founder and Head of Marketing; acceptance is with them too. You report to Head of Marketing. Start is after agreed scope; on new products you set the direction when the brief has no visual yet.

Volume is steady and measurable: design support for portfolio products, social visuals for the founder and the studio, and video handoff (look, key visuals, references, guides) before video generation starts

✅ What you'll do

• Set and maintain the portfolio visual standard: identity, design code, brand guides, tone of visual communication aligned with positioning
• Build the design system in Figma: tokens, components, grids, templates for web/mobile, landing pages, social (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), and presentations
• Lead visual concept for new products: moodboards, references, direction for marketing, UI, and AI content
• Set direction on UX/UI for key flows: structure, priorities, brand consistency - hands-on on critical screens, without managing a product design team
• Art-direct key touchpoints: key visuals, carousels, infographics, PDF frameworks, playbooks, release and campaign visuals
• Build AI-native pipelines for static assets: prompt systems, image-to-image, generation series; you own the final brand gate
• Prepare look, characters, and references for AI Video Creator; review finished video for brand fit
• Create motion for content: Lottie, GIF, stickers, logo and typography micro-animations

💪 Must have

• 5+ years in digital design and visual/brand direction; strong B2C cases (mobile and/or web) in your portfolio; you use modern AI tools in daily work to execute tasks and speed up hypothesis validation
• AI is part of how you ship: portfolio shows production-quality AI-assisted brand work, not one-off experiments
• Hands-on art direction: identity, typography, grid, color, hierarchy, cohesive brand from comms to interface
• Figma at design-system level: auto-layout, components, libraries, social templates
• Ability to set UX/UI direction - references, principles, final standard on key surfaces - without needing to lead a design team
• Practical AI in design: Midjourney, image-to-image, repeatable pipelines with quality control
• Higgsfield AI and similar tools for AI video and motion workflows
• AI-native workflow: scope, asset acceptance criteria, versions, and handoff before mass generation
• Understanding of how visuals and creatives affect the funnel and key metrics of a B2C product
• English B1+; fluent Russian

⭐ Nice to have

• ComfyUI, LoRA (Flux / Stable Diffusion) for brand style and characters
• After Effects; Figma Slides; Photoshop / Illustrator
• Localization standards: what adapts per market vs what stays core brand
• Cursor / Claude Code to speed up creative iterations
• Venture portfolio experience: several products in parallel through a system, not through headcount growth

🛠️ Stack

• Figma
• Midjourney, Krea, and similar tools
• Higgsfield AI and similar tools
• ComfyUI, LoRA (Flux / Stable Diffusion)
• After Effects
• Basic familiarity with Runway / Kling for handoff with AI Video Creator

📊 How we measure success

• Portfolio products: stable visual support for releases without breaking the weekly plan
• Sprints closed in full scope on a steady basis

👥 Team

• Task setting and acceptance: Founder and Head of Marketing; Content Lead on content-related work
• You are the single point of visual standard for the portfolio
• AI Video Creator handles videos; you own brand system, concept, static, motion, and video brand fit
• With product and marketing on specific products and releases, following studio priorities

💼 Conditions and format

• Format | Full-time, remote
• Time | Flexible; sync with the team on CET
• Income | From $6,000 USDT fixed + bonuses
• Team | Direct work with founders and direction leads
