About the role

  • We're hiring an Art Director, Brand Systems to be the creative anchor of the Relay brand as we scale.
  • This is a role with real influence and a clear runway.
  • You'll be the senior creative voice running the day-to-day, freeing the Creative Director to focus on brand strategy, campaigns, and bigger-picture creative direction.

Responsibilities

  • Lead day-to-day creative production across every medium we touch.
  • Sales enablement (one-pagers, decks, segment- and partner-specific collateral), conference materials (booths, signage, takeaways, swag), digital advertising, web, and ongoing brand work.
  • Use AI as a force multiplier. You'll integrate AI tools into your daily workflow for ideation, layout exploration, asset variation, and production. You'll build prompt libraries, templates, and repeatable workflows the rest of the team can plug into.
  • Mentor and grow the team. You'll partner with and eventually manage a Production Designer (hired alongside this role), provide direction to freelance partners, and help shape the operating rhythm of an in-house creative team that's still being built.
  • Partner with the Creative Director on brand evolution. As the company grows, the brand will need to evolve with it. You'll be a key thought partner on how the visual system stretches into new channels, audiences, and campaigns.
  • A live, well-documented Figma design system that the whole company is working from - not a theoretical PDF, a working operating system.
  • Build and own our design system.
  • You'll establish, scale, and maintain a Figma design system that brings consistency to every surface of the brand - component libraries, tokens, typography and color systems, layout patterns, and documentation that empowers the rest of the team to produce on-brand work without bottlenecks.
  • You'll build prompt libraries, templates, and repeatable workflows the rest of the team can plug into.
  • Come build it with us.

Requirements

  • Expert proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
  • You can translate strategy into creative direction, write a clear brief, and explain creative decisions to non-creative stakeholders.
  • You can hold the bar without slowing the work down.
  • You've done this before, and you know what good looks like.
  • 5+ years of design or art direction experience, with a portfolio that demonstrates both systems thinking and high-craft execution.
  • Proven experience building and scaling a design system in Figma at another company. This is non-negotiable. In your portfolio or interview, we'll want to see the libraries, tokens, and documentation you've shipped - and hear how teams adopted them.
  • Recent, hands-on experience using AI tools as part of your design workflow, specifically as thinking partners for system architecture, consistency audits, documentation, and decision logic. We're looking for designers who've spent the last 12 to 18 months actively living in AI tools, not designers who are curious about them.
  • Strong cross-medium range. You're equally comfortable directing a print one-pager, a website module, a tradeshow booth, and a digital ad - and you understand what each medium demands.
  • Experience providing creative direction and feedback to other designers, and a genuine interest in mentorship and team building.
  • Excellent communication. You can translate strategy into creative direction, write a clear brief, and explain creative decisions to non-creative stakeholders.
  • A calm, organized approach to managing multiple projects and competing priorities. You can hold the bar without slowing the work down.
