Open roles: strategist, designer and generative AI director jobs

Your name on the marks you draw.

Every mark we deliver is credited to the designer who drew it. AI takes the repetition; you keep the authorship.

FAQ

Careers, answered

What roles does Brand1 hire for?

Brand1 hires senior people across brand and creative work: creative and strategy partners, design leads, brand strategists, writers, generative directors, producers, motion and sound designers, brand technologists and an Academy lead. Roles marked open are hiring now; the rest are opening soon. If no role fits, send your work anyway, because a partner reads every application.

Can I work remotely with Brand1?

Brand1 has its studio in Chennai and works with clients worldwide, so much of the work crosses time zones. Whether a role can be remote depends on the role and the clients it serves; it is discussed openly in the first conversation with a partner. Work that needs a room, such as crits, workshops and shoots, happens in person.

What is a generative director?

A generative director chooses the AI tools for each job and directs the image-making, the way a director of photography leads a shoot. At Brand1 they work from the brand system, run monthly bake-offs where tools are judged blind on the same brief, and hand finished frames to designers, who sign the work. They direct the tools; people make the calls.

How does Brand1 hire?

In four steps. Send three to five pieces of work you are proud of, with a line on what you did. Have a conversation with a partner about the work, not a quiz. Do a short exercise close to the real job, paid at a fair day rate. Then get an offer, or a clear reason why not, within two weeks of the exercise.
