Brand Designer
About Zero
Zero is the AI-native platform that replaces your CRM and all the tools bolted on around it, built for startups from seed to Series B. We were founded by the team that scaled Smartly.io to $100M+ ARR and have raised $13M so far: a $2.7M pre-seed led by 20VC and a $10.3M seed led by Primary VC.
We launched in September 2026 and are 14 people in Helsinki, growing to around 20 by the end of the year. People get Zero the moment they see it. Our problem is that not enough people have seen it yet.
That's where you come in. We're looking for a designer who lives in the newest AI tools and wants to own everything Zero looks like.
Why this role exists
Design is our bottleneck. We ship product faster than we can show it off, and we have more campaign ideas than people to make them.
We have a fresh brand foundation in place. Now we need someone to take it and run: make it move, and push it somewhere new every week.
What you'll do
- Web: Design and ship landing pages, launch pages and comparison pages.
- Brand: Take the foundation and bring it to life across everything we put out.
- Launches: Turn new features into launch assets, animations and short videos people actually want to watch.
- Motion: Product walkthroughs, launch videos, UI animation and social cuts.
- Social and campaigns: LinkedIn, X, Reddit, events, email and one-pagers.
- Your AI setup: Build the workflow that lets one designer ship like a small studio, and keep rebuilding it as the tools change.
- Everything not on this list: Billboards, stunts, events and ideas we haven't had yet. When someone asks whether we should take over the Sphere in Vegas, you work out what that would look like and then make a version we can actually pull off.
Who we're looking for
- Your work matters more than your years. Being early in your career is fine.
- You're AI-pilled. You try every new image, video and design tool the week it comes out. You've shipped real things with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Midjourney or Runway, and you have strong opinions about what's actually good.
- You do a bit of everything. Brand, web, visual and motion. Great at some, curious about the rest.
- You have taste. You can tell modern from a 2019 SaaS template.
- You ship and share. Side projects, experiments, things you made at 1am just to see if they'd work. We want to see them.
- You're fast and hungry. A landing page in days, a launch video in a week. You'd rather ship and iterate than polish in private.
- You bring ideas as well as execution. You come up with concepts, or take a half-formed idea and make it much better. For you, a brief is a starting point.
- You're based in Helsinki, or ready to move here.
How we work
- Ownership from day one. You'll make calls most designers wait years to make.
- End to end. You own the whole problem, never just one step in someone else's process.
- Visible impact. Your work shows up in pipeline, and we'll share the numbers with you.
