Location: New York or San Francisco preferred, open to remote within the US About the Team: The AlphaSense Brand Team is a creative powerhouse composed of great talent across copywriting, brand design, advertising & filmmaking. This team of creative technologists help drive the innovation, conceptual storytelling, execution & delivery of our brand and products each & every day. At our core, we're here as a partner to the broader business – which we do by identifying customer problems, understanding market needs, & inventing ways to deliver world class brand experiences. About the Role: As the Design Director on the AlphaSense Brand & Creative team, you own the strategic and conceptual pull-through of our brand — translating who AlphaSense is into ideas, design systems, and experiences that show up everywhere the company does. You set the creative vision and the standard of craft for the design discipline, and you're a leader-doer: you direct from inside the work, getting your hands on it when an idea demands it. This is a defining moment for the brand. As the market shifts from an information economy to a reasoning economy, it's racing toward a shortcut — assuming that wiring a model up to more tools and more sources adds up to intelligence. AlphaSense exists to prove otherwise: access isn't intelligence, and the question that matters isn't “Can it connect?” but “Can I trust it?” You'll be the one who makes that argument — connected isn't intelligent — look and feel as undeniable as the platform makes it true. This role is equal parts vision and craft, leadership and making. You'll shape the creative direction for our most significant brand investments — campaigns, product storytelling, OOH, social, web, and events — then build the team and systems that let that work scale without losing its edge. You'll mentor and grow the design team alongside the Design Manager, while partnering across PMM, Product, Web, and Comms, and directing agency and production partners, to align stakeholders behind brave ideas. Your north star: take the highest-stakes ideas in enterprise intelligence — trust, evidence, judgment under pressure — and make them clear, human, and impossible to ignore. Who You Are • A Proven Creative Leader : 10+ years in brand and creative design, with a portfolio that shows range across campaigns, brand systems, and high-craft execution — and a track record of leading teams to do the best work of their careers. • A Leader-Doer : You set the vision and the bar, but you stay in the work. You direct from inside it and get hands-on when an idea needs your hand — not from a distance. • Ideas-First: You lead with concept. You can take an abstract, technical idea — like enterprise market intelligence — and find the visual metaphor that makes it land for a sophisticated audience. • A Builder of Teams & Cult
