About The Role

Mixpanel is evolving from a single product analytics tool into a multi product platform—and our visual identity needs to evolve with it. We're looking for a Visual Designer who wants to help define what that looks like.

You'll work closely with our core brand team, exploring ideas, developing conceptual directions, and bringing our brand to life across digital and print. This isn't about producing assets to spec. It's about pushing our visual language forward while building systems that scale. You'll advocate for brand consistency where it matters and know when to break out and try something new.

We work on abstract concepts—ideas that don't have obvious visual solutions. A background in illustration is a big plus because you'll often be tasked with making the intangible feel tangible. If you're a designer who loves to explore, iterate, and craft work that stands out in a sea of generic SaaS, this is the role.

What You'll Do

Explore and expand our visual identity

Concept and iterate through visual directions that push Mixpanel's brand forward

Help define how our identity flexes across contexts—web, campaigns, events, product, print

Balance brand systems thinking with creative exploration; know when to follow the rules and when to break them

Bring abstract concepts to life

Develop illustrations and visual approaches for ideas that don't have obvious solutions

Translate complex, technical products into imagery that resonates emotionally

Collaborate with the brand copywriter to ensure visual and narrative work together

Design across surfaces

Create work for campaigns, branded content, events, digital experiences, and print

Partner with motion designers to conceptualize animated expressions of the brand

Brief and collaborate with external partners (illustrators, animators, agencies) when projects require additional expertise

Champion the brand

Maintain and expand a flexible brand system that scales to meet business needs

Ensure consistency across marketing channels while seeking opportunities to experiment

Participate actively in design critiques and reviews, providing thoughtful feedback across the team

What We're Looking For

Experience And Craft

5+ years of experience in visual design, in-house or agency

Strong command of the fundamentals—typography, color, layout, composition

Portfolio demonstrating range across brand systems, campaigns, web, print, and environmental work

Illustration skills or a strong illustration sensibility—you'll be visualizing abstract concepts regularly

Creative mindset

You love to explore and iterate; you're not precious about early ideas

You have opinions about what makes design good and can articulate them

You stay curious about new techniques and technologies but aren't chasing trends—you want to build something original

You're excited by the challenge of standing out in a crowded market, not playing it safe

Collaboration and communication

You can translate project needs and audience insights into informed design decisions

You give and receive feedback thoughtfully

How you work

You balance multiple projects and prioritize based on business goals

You're a self-starter who operates independently within a small team

You're proactive, thoughtful, and bring creative energy to the work

Bonus skills

Motion design, 3D, prototyping, or creative coding experience
