You’ll own Ascend’s brand: its expression, evolution, and architecture as we grow. You’ll report to the head of design and partner closely with product and marketing. We don’t treat brand and product as separate disciplines — the product is where the brand is proven, and the brand is how the product is understood. We want someone who treats brand as infrastructure as much as expression, with the instincts of an art director.

Give the brand fuller expression. Much of our brand lives in reputation. Evolve and codify it across every medium and touchpoint.

Own the brand’s architecture. Products, our AI agent, Altitude 2027, acquired brands: decide what’s shared, what’s distinct, and how the family grows.

Own the moments where customers meet us. Launches, email, onboarding, proposals, case studies — the surfaces that decide whether someone trusts us with their money.

Experiment with code and AI. Build tools and generative systems that produce form no template could, and put that range in everyone’s hands.

Make the brand a living system. Spot patterns, make them self-serve, and keep it responsive as the company changes.

Propose where the brand goes next. Bring a defensible point of view, and push the work further than the brief asked.
