About TRM
TRM Labs is on a mission to build a safer world for billions of people. We help governments, financial institutions, and crypto businesses detect and stop illicit activity across blockchains, fighting fraud, terrorism financing, and other financial crime with data and technology.
The work is serious, but the way we show up doesn’t have to be forgettable. As TRM has grown, our brand has become one of our most important assets: it’s how the market understands who we are, why the mission matters, and why the best people and customers choose to work with us. We're looking for a Staff Brand Designer to set the craft standard with our team. This designer has an eye that is precise, considers execution, and the work around them gets better just by virtue of their presence.
The role
This is a role for an experienced visual designer. You’ll own the most complex and high-visibility brand design work at TRM across campaigns, web, social, events, sales and marketing, reports, and every surface brand design touches. You’ll help define what visual excellence looks like as our brand continues to evolve, and you'll raise the quality floor for everyone around you.
You'll lead through the work, through design direction, and through mentorship rather than through direct management. This is an individual-contributor craft role today, but can grow.
How we think about AI
We’re building an AI-first creative team. It does not mean design by prompt, and it does not mean fewer designers. Taste, judgment, and craft are scarce and valuable things, and they stay firmly human-led. AI is how we extend them: exploring more directions before committing to one, getting to a rough first pass faster, producing variations at a scale that wasn't previously realistic, and reclaiming time for the decisions that actually deserve it.
We’re looking for someone who has already folded AI into their own practice in some form, has a point of view on where it helps and where it gets in the way, and wants to help the team build that fluency together. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You do need to be actively experimenting and learning, and you should expect to help set the standard for how a high-craft brand team uses these tools well.
What you'll do
- Set and uphold the craft standard for TRM’s brand: across campaigns, web, social, events, thought-leadership reports, and sales and marketing collateral.

- Lead the most complex and high-visibility brand design projects end-to-end, from brief through delivery, at consistently high craft.

- Partner with creative and marketing leadership to evolve TRM’s creative direction: defining and executing visual standards across typography, imagery, layout, and color.

- Translate complex, data-heavy subject matter (blockchain intelligence, investigations, risk) into infographics, data visualizations, and able graphics that make dense information land for technical and non-technical audiences alike.

- Provide hands-on craft oversight across brand output: reviewing work, raising the quality floor, and helping the team make better decisions.

- Build and steward brand systems and documentation that scale across programs, formats, and audiences without losing soul and know when to break the system for the right reason.

- Commission and art-direct external creatives: agencies, illustrators, and motion designers.

- Mentor and elevate other designers through critique, pairing, and direct feedback: raising craft through the work, not just in conversation.

- Advance the team’s AI-native design practice: bringing AI-assisted tools into concep
