**Role - Visual Designer**

**Salary - £55,000 - £75,000**

**Location - Edinburgh (Hybrid - Min 3 days in office)**

**Wordsmith**

At Wordsmith AI, Scotland’s fastest-growing tech startup, our mission is to transform the way legal teams work. We’re building the next generation of AI-powered tools that free lawyers from repetitive tasks, surface critical insights, and help businesses move faster without compromising on risk.

It’s a bold, ambitious challenge that requires us to operate at our very best every day. We’re not just updating old workflows - we’re reimagining how legal practice and business operations come together in an AI-first world.

As Scotland’s fastest-growing startup, the pace here is intense and the opportunity is huge. Joining now means shaping the foundations of a category-defining company, having outsized impact, and growing alongside some of the best in the industry.

To do this, we’re looking for a **Visual Designer** who will define and scale the Wordsmith brand across every touchpoint - from product UI and marketing campaigns to events, social, and beyond. Someone who is motivated by impact, thrives in creative problem spaces, and relishes the chance to build a brand that stands apart in a fast-moving industry.

Our culture is fast-paced, ambitious, and not for everyone. But if you want to help shape the future of legal technology - alongside a team that values craft, curiosity, and collaboration - there’s no better place to be.

We value in-person connection and collaboration - as a hybrid company based in Edinburgh, we ask our team to be in the office a minimum of three days a week.

**What you’ll do**
- Building and evolving the Wordsmith brand identity for use across product, marketing, and communications
- Designing a consistent visual system that works across web, mobile, campaigns, events, and social channels
- Creating marketing and sales collateral that communicates our story clearly and powerfully
- Collaborating closely with product designers, engineers, and marketers to bring brand and product closer together
- Driving consistency across all touchpoints — from typography and color systems to motion and layout
- Participating in design critiques — both giving and receiving feedback to sharpen the work

**What we look for in you**
- 5+ years of experience in Visual, Brand, or Marketing Design
- A strong portfolio demonstrating work across digital and brand design
- Mastery of visual design craft: typography, color, composition, and interaction
- Proven ability to translate abstract ideas into compelling visual systems and campaigns
- Fluency in Figma and design/prototyping tools (motion and 3D skills are a plus)
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment
- Collaborative, low ego, and open-minded - you care as much about the team’s success as your own

**Nice to have**
- Familiarity with creating, maintaining, and scaling design systems
- Experience using AI tools to speed up workflows, explore concepts, or build rapid prototypes

**What you can expect**
- A high-trust environment with meaningful ownership over what you design
- Real-world product challenges - security, performance, usability - at the heart of legal workflows
- A tight-knit team of engineers, designers, legal minds, and builders
- Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and the opportunity to shape an early product and team

At Wordsmith AI, you’ll have the chance to build a brand that defines a new category of technology. If you want your design work to stand out in an industry ready for change, we’d love to hear from you.
