Company mission
To accelerate the world’s ability to learn, discover and communicate science.
Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a designer who is equally comfortable crafting beautiful web experiences in Figma and producing polished marketing collateral in Adobe Creative Suite — and who is excited about leveraging emerging tools, including AI-assisted workflows, to move faster and smarter
- 5–6 years of experience in graphic design, with a strong focus on web design — ideally in a SaaS or tech environment
- Strong proficiency in Figma (primary tool), including experience building and maintaining design systems or component libraries
- Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), particularly for print and marketing materials
- A strong portfolio showcasing web-first design work, including landing pages, marketing sites, or product-related web experiences
- Experience working in environments where systems and processes are not yet fully established — you’re comfortable building from scratch
- Solid understanding of web best practices, including responsive design, usability, and conversion principles
- Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced environment
- Strong collaboration and communication skills — you can work effectively across teams and incorporate feedback
- A growth mindset — you’re curious, adaptable, and excited to help scale design in a growing company
What the job involves
- As a Senior Graphic Designer (Web-Focused) at BioRender, you’ll play a key role in shaping and scaling our digital brand experience. You’ll lead the design and evolution of our web presence — from high-impact landing pages to foundational systems like web guidelines and component libraries
- This is a highly hands-on role with significant ownership. You’ll work at the intersection of brand, web, and marketing — designing intuitive, visually compelling experiences while helping establish the systems and standards that don’t yet exist. You’ll collaborate closely with Marketing, Growth, and Product teams to bring consistency and scalability to our design efforts
- Own and evolve BioRender’s web design experience, including landing pages, campaign pages, and core site improvements
- Establish and maintain web design guidelines, systems, and component libraries in Figma to drive consistency and scalability
- Partner with Marketing and Growth teams to design high-converting web experiences that support campaigns, product launches, and experimentation
- Translate brand into engaging digital experiences, ensuring a cohesive visual identity across all web touchpoints
- Design marketing collateral and brand assets across channels (e.g., presentations, one-pagers, event materials)
- Create print-ready assets using Adobe Creative Suite when needed, ensuring high-quality production standards
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to bring designs to life and iterate quickly
- Explore and incorporate AI-assisted design and coding tools to improve workflows and output quality
- Help define and raise the bar for design quality across the organization
Our take
One of the best ways for science students and experts to communicate ideas is through diagrams, but not everyone has the illustration skills to pull this off. Whilst computer graphics can be used instead of manually drawing scientific imagery, the lack of a dedicated resource for such images prevents diagrams from being consistent and professional.
Biorender hosts thousands of pre-made icons and templates to be used in the creation of diagrams across over 30 different life science fields. The resources follow consistent quality standards and can be dragged and dropped within the platform to create scientific diagrams, to be used by students, teachers, labs, and educational institutions.
Other visual libraries that include scientific icons and templates exist for the creation of diagrams, but Biorender has presented a novel idea with its exhaustive library, offering to produce missing icons on demand within 48 hours. The entire library is free to use alongside basic design features by individuals for educational purposes, with more advanced features and paid licenses being available for labs and institutions. Its success at visualising complex diagrams and information has helped Biorender achieve several rounds of substantial funding.
