At Skild AI, we are building the world's first general purpose robotic intelligence that is robust and adapts to unseen scenarios without failing. We believe massive scale through data-driven machine learning is the key to unlocking these capabilities for the widespread deployment of robots within society. Our team consists of individuals with varying levels of experience and backgrounds, from new graduates to domain experts. Relevant industry experience is important, but ultimately less so than your demonstrated abilities and attitude. We are looking for passionate individuals who are eager to explore uncharted waters and contribute to our innovative projects.
We're looking for a senior-level contract designer to lead the visual design of a full 360 brand campaign — from early concepting and brand system development through to final production-ready assets. You'll work directly with our creative director to build something that communicates what we're doing without sounding like every other AI company. This is a creative leadership role, not an execution one.
Responsibilities- Lead visual concepting and brand system development from a blank brief.
- Design and deliver production-ready assets across website, digital, social, and out-of-home.
- Collaborate with the creative director to ensure visual decisions reflect brand positioning.
- Contribute strategic creative input throughout the brand building process.
- Proven track record of building brands from zero — identity, campaign, print, and digital.
- Strong strategic sensibility; you think about positioning before you open a file.
- Portfolio that shows range and a distinctive point of view.
- Experience in AI, robotics, or deep tech is a genuine plus.
*Please include your portfolio and a brief note on a project you're proud of — what the brief was, what you made, and why it worked.
