Shape the Premium Visual Experience

Lead the aesthetic evolution of Neara across our core application, design system, website and all customer‑facing materials. This dual‑impact role blends high‑end product UI craftsmanship with premium marketing and brand execution.

What You Will Do

- Lead the visual evolution of the Neara platform by auditing and refining key screens, flows and components to deliver a premium, cohesive aesthetic.

- Collaborate with Product Designers, Engineers, PMs and Marketing to ensure visual polish enhances clarity, usability and intuitive interaction.
- Translate complex UI states into elegant, marketing‑ready visuals for use in campaigns, paid media and key moments.
- Deliver a prioritised backlog of high‑impact visual improvements and implement a plan for uplifting the most impactful screens (e.g., Login, On‑boarding, Home).

Brand, Marketing & Collateral Design

- Redesign and unify all customer‑facing materials: decks, brochures, templates, website pages, banners and event assets; ensuring every touchpoint reflects Neara’s premium identity.
- Build and maintain a scalable master marketing template library across formats, including Ceros for landing pages and web content, and Google Slides for sales and marketing decks.




- Partner with Marketing to refresh the public website’s visual language, elevating clarity, sophistication and overall brand perception.
- Provide ongoing visual design support for campaigns, events, category launches and other time‑sensitive initiatives.
- Create powerful visuals that communicate Neara’s physics‑based, 3‑D spatial modelling and platform differentiators across channels.

Cross‑Functional Impact

- Serve as Neara’s trusted visual design authority across both Product and Marketing, guiding teams on aesthetics, interaction design, motion and brand execution.
- Establish consistency and excellence across all channels by setting, documenting and championing premium visual standards.
- Deliver early “quick wins” that demonstrate immediate value while laying the foundation for long‑term design systems and scalable assets.
- Build strong relationships across teams, balancing dual streams of work and influencing stakeholders through high‑quality execution.
- Help set the stage for future growth of the visual design function, with the potential to mentor a supporting team as Neara scales.

Who You Are

- 5+ years in digital, visual, UI or product design roles within SaaS or technology environments.
- A strong, diverse portfolio showcasing exceptional visual craft across both complex product UI and high‑end marketing/communications collateral.
- Expert proficiency in Figma, with strong skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator).
- Experience collaborating within agile product teams, shipping production‑ready UI design and working closely with engineers, PMs and product designers.




- Ability to translate complex product/UI states into compelling marketing visuals for websites, ads and campaigns.
- Strong understanding of visual hierarchy, typography, colour, spacing, interactions and motion.
- Excellent communication skills – able to articulate design decisions clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Comfort working across both Product and Marketing streams, managing multiple priorities with autonomy and accountability.

Nice‑to‑Have

- Experience with Ceros (or ability to upskill quickly).
- Experience designing for mobile applications.
- Familiarity with brand systems, brand architecture or brand strategy.
- Experience with motion design tools such as Rive, Lottie or Protopie.
- Experience designing for 3‑D, spatial modelling or physics‑based products.
- Exposure to category‑launch creative or complex cross‑channel campaigns.
