Visual Brand and Motion Designer (Digital Native)

1. About Us\n

KOLOFON.AI is a Thiruvananthapuram-based campaign-driven AI venture poised to upend the AI experience in India. We follow the "Oversubscribed" principles of Daniel Priestley and run high-impact, 90-day campaigns that build authority and draw customers to us.

2. About the Role\n

We are seeking an exceptionally talented, digital-native Visual Brand and Motion Designer to establish and drive the visual identity for EMERGENCE '26 and our flagship enterprise AI campaigns. In this role, you will lead the end-to-end creative pipeline—producing high-converting performance ad creatives, kinetic short-form reels, bespoke editorial newsletters, brand design systems in Figma, and high-impact print collateral for our executive retreats.

\n

We prioritize designers with an intuitive grasp of modern tech aesthetics, dark-mode visual hierarchy, motion pacing, and digital conversion over traditional DTP agency backgrounds.

\n
• High-Converting Paid Ad Engines: Design high-CTR static and carousel ad variants across LinkedIn, Meta, and Google Display, establishing structured A/B testing variations for copy, colorways, and layouts.
\n
• Kinetic Motion and Short-Form Reels: Conceptualize, edit, and animate engaging, high-retention video reels (9:16) featuring dynamic on-screen typography, audio syncing, and visual hooks for Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts.
\n
• Bespoke Editorial Newsletters and Strategy Dossiers: Design sleek, reader-friendly digital publications, whitepapers, and email layouts (Figma/Substack/Beehiiv formats) for executive audiences.
\n
• Scalable Figma Design Systems and Brand Kits: Build modular component libraries, presentation master decks, brand guidelines, and social media template kits for rapid deployment by the growth and sales teams.
\n
• Premium Event and Print Collateral: Translate our digital identity into executive-grade physical collateral—including stage backdrops, attendee badges, pull-up banners, brochures, and the physical Artifact Package binders.
\n

4. Critical Skills and Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)\n

\n
• Design Systems and UI Tools: Advanced proficiency in Figma (auto-layout, components, variants, styles) for digital layouts, presentations, and design systems.
\n
• Motion and Video Editing: Proven expertise in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, or CapCut Pro with a sharp sense of pacing, kinetic typography, and motion transitions.
\n
• Vector and Raster Mastery: Deep fluency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop for vector asset creation, photo manipulation, and key visual development.
\n
• Modern B2B Aesthetic: An innate eye for minimalist enterprise tech design—clean typography hierarchy, contrast control, sleek glassmorphism, and structured information layouts.
\n
• Execution Velocity & Ownership: Ability to turn around daily creative variations rapidly during active 90-day campaign sprints without sacrificing visual quality.
\n

5. What We Offer\n

\n
• High-Visibility Creative Leadership: Complete creative ownership over the visual identity of a premier national AI strategy retreat and enterprise software brand.
\n
• Fixed Compensation: Competitive per month base salary (commensurate with portfolio depth and speed).
\n
• Performance Bonus: Milestone bonus tied to creative delivery velocity, ad performance benchmarks (CTR/ROAS), and zero-defect print handoffs.
