Design Lead
Build Technologies, New York City
The role
Most companies can separate the brand from the product. The brand is what you say, the product is what you ship, and two different teams own them. At Build that separation doesn't survive contact with the work. We sell outcomes, which means the thing a client receives - the screening, the model, the recommendation they take to their investment committee - is simultaneously the product, the deliverable and the strongest brand expression we will ever make.
This role owns all of it. Brand, product, deliverable, and the internal tools our domain experts use to produce the work. One person, one system, one standard, from the first time someone hears the word Build to the artifact that decides a nine-figure commitment.
"The deliverable is the brand. There is no separate marketing."
You will sit at the centre of the company with the CEO and work directly with engineering and the domain team. There is no layer between you and the thing being made. You will not be handed requirements and asked to make them attractive - you will decide what should exist, design how it works, and either build it or direct the engineering that does.
