Lead Brand Designer, Hazel AI

About the role

Altruist is building the modern infrastructure for independent financial advisors. At the center of that future is Hazel - the AI platform for financial advisors that integrates across their tech stack and transforms data into actionable outcomes. Hazel represents the most ambitious expression of our brand: intelligent, calm, precise, and deeply human. Design plays a critical role in defining what that future looks and feels like. We're hiring a Lead Brand Designer to lead the visual evolution of Hazel across its entire ecosystem. This is not a support role. It's a leadership role within brand responsible for shaping how our AI product shows up across product surfaces, launches, campaigns, motion, storytelling, and emerging experiences. The ideal candidate thinks quickly, designs thoughtfully, and pushes work beyond the obvious. They bring impeccable taste, a sharp point of view, and a deep understanding of contemporary design - while also knowing when restraint is the most powerful move. This designer will also partner closely with Product Design to influence the user experience of Hazel, ensuring brand and product feel unified and intentional. They will also collaborate with motion designers, illustrators, and cross-functional teams to bring new ideas to life across the Hazel surfaces. This role operates as a thought partner to Creative Leadership on new Hazel initiatives and long-term brand direction. This role is hybrid, with four in-office days per week at our San Francisco FiDi location.
