Senior Staff Designer

What the role actually is

Shield AI is hiring a senior staff designer to lead integrated brand campaigns across digital, social, events, presentations, advertising, and other touchpoints. The role works with brand, creative, writing, video, marketing, and external partners to turn campaign strategy into visual systems.

For this board, the relevance is not just the word "designer." Shield AI sells autonomy software, autonomous aircraft, and simulation products, so the role is about making complex defense and robotics technology coherent across high-visibility market-facing work.

What you would work on

• Translate campaign strategy and creative briefs into visual concepts and scalable systems
• Lead high-visibility design work from early exploration through production and launch
• Shape briefs, establish visual direction, and turn approved concepts into repeatable systems
• Guide other designers, agencies, and production partners so campaigns stay cohesive
• Collaborate with writers, video teams, marketers, and external partners

What they are asking for

• Senior-level visual design experience with integrated brand campaigns
• Strong typography, composition, color, imagery, and art-direction craft
• Ability to build scalable visual systems from strategy and creative briefs
• Judgment for presenting, defending, and iterating design under demanding timelines
• Experience working across digital, social, events, presentations, advertising, and campaign production

Why this one is worth a look

The robotics and autonomy market is crowded with technical claims that blur together quickly. This role is worth noting because it puts a senior designer close to the problem of making Shield AI's autonomy story legible, credible, and consistent across the channels where customers and partners first encounter it.
