## About the role

Most companies can separate the brand from the product. The brand is what you say, the product is what you ship, and two different teams own them. At Build that separation doesn't survive contact with the work. We sell outcomes, which means the thing a client receives - the screening, the model, the recommendation they take to their investment committee - is simultaneously the product, the deliverable and the strongest brand expression we will ever make.

## What they're looking for

- - Genuine range across brand and pn identity system and a workinginterface, and you refuse to accept that those are different jobs
- - Proficiency in design and enginefast and write a pull request
- - Serious information and editorial design ability. Our outputs are documents that carry
- consequence, and most of the craftraphy and restraint
- - Strong spatial and systems thinking. You see how the pieces relate before anyone asks you to
- - Experience designing for high-stakes decisions, where a user is accountable for acting on what you put in front of them
