Company mission
Patch's mission is to rebalance the planet.
Role
Who you are
- This is a role that requires high agency and ownership that is self directed - you must love doing both setting the vision and strategy as well as do the hands-on detailed execution
- A senior brand designer with 8+ years of experience, including time in-house at a high-growth B2B or category-defining company or time at a top design agency, working with B2B clients
- A maker whose portfolio does the talking: distinctive, sharp work that holds together across web, print, motion, and IRL
- You've owned a visual identity system end-to-end and evolved it as a company scaled
- Fluent across formats: web, editorial, presentation, event, video, motion, digital, and able to direct specialists where you're not the deepest expert
- An excellent creative director of external partners; you can brief an agency, art-direct a video, and give the exact right note
- Decisive and pragmatic; you know how to trade craft against speed without losing either, and when to hold the line on output
- A strong writer and communicator who can defend a design decision to a CEO, a seller, and a customer with equal clarity
- Motivated by climate, or by working on problems that matter
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Lead Brand Designer to own Patch's visual brand and the design of everything we put into the world, from the website, reports, decks, campaigns, and events, to video and social
- You'll be the creative director of Patch's brand system and the primary designer executing against it, setting the bar for craft, evolving our visual identity as our category matures, and orchestrating a network of contractors and agencies to scale output without diluting quality
- You'll still be in Figma, and you'll also be running briefs, art-directing external partners, and collaborating directly with leaders across the company, ranging from the CEO, to Marketing, Product, and Sales leadership, all to translate brand vision into exceptional design that moves buyers and defines the category
- Own and evolve Patch's visual identity system so it stays distinctive as we scale, and set the brand standard every external asset must meet
- Lead website design across new pages, campaigns, and refreshes in partnership with marketing and sales
- Design our flagship reports, whitepapers, and long-form editorial that establish Patch's category authority
- Design the sales narrative decks, pitch templates, and collateral our GTM team uses to win
- Design our digital and campaign surfaces: ads, social, landing pages, email, and campaign systems
- Design our in-real-life presence: events, dinners, print, signage, and swag
- Brief, art-direct, and where needed produce motion and video content for launches, campaigns, and social
- Build and manage a bench of specialist contractors and agencies; write briefs, run reviews, and own the design budget and pace
Our take
Offsetting climate emissions is a huge priority for businesses, with motives including conducting sustainable business, meeting government regulations, improving brand image, and saving finances. However, the discovery and logistic process of getting involved with climate action projects can be difficult to navigate.
Patch provides a climate action platform that aims to help businesses meet their carbon footprint goals through a carbon removal project marketplace. In addition to being able to financially contribute to such services, companies can also use Patch's API to embed carbon footprint estimation and removal tools in their product, facilitating climate action through every transaction.
There are many climate action projects that businesses can contribute to financially, but it can be difficult to discover them, and Patch has been smart to make this process simpler. The company is also expanding outside of carbon removal projects, offering projects on its marketplace concerning regenerative agriculture, solar farms, enhanced weathering, and kelp farming. Funds raised by Patch are cited to support hiring and growth, as well as helping to accelerate the development of its technology.
