Subsense · Remote first, Bay Area hybrid or on-site later · Reports to Alex Karpman, Brand & Marketing Lead
Engagement: Independent contractor, starting with a 1-month project estimated at 30 hours per week. Project scope: advance and finalize the brandbook, build social templates, create marketing materials for conferences, add slides to the master deck and create a new creative brochure.
Path to in-house: Depending on fit and business needs, Subsense may offer a full-time, in-house (W-2) Brand Designer position after the project. The role
Subsense is building an AI-native NanoBCI: a non-surgical brain-computer interface that uses nanoparticles instead of implants. We are a team of about 40 scientists and engineers across two Bay Area labs, starting with medical applications such as Parkinson's and ALS. Our brand has to feel human, calm and clinically credible while explaining deep science and vision to investors, clinicians, press and future patients.
You will be the in-house hand behind every Subsense visual. We have brand guidelines (palette, Sora and Inter type system, gradients, chart style, logo rules). Your job is to advance them, turn them into a working system and then use that system every week, fast and consistently.
The work moves between two modes, and you should feel native in both. One day it is structured, clear and readable pitch deck slides that help investors follow complex science. The next it is creative, catchy and sometimes bold marketing materials that stop people at a conference or in a feed. Switching between them easily is the job.
Today this work is spread across several agencies and freelancers. We are bringing all of it in-house with one designer who knows the brand deeply, keeps clean source files and can turn a request around in a day when an investor meeting is tomorrow.
