Brand Designer

Why you should join us

Tandem is a generational opportunity to rethink how we bring new therapies to market, and our path to doing so is significantly de-risked – we have:

• Exponential organic growth: We have product-market fit and are growing rapidly. Tandem supports thousands of new patients every day, is spreading with doctors through word-of-mouth, and works with the largest biopharma companies in the world.

• An AI-first business model: Our approach is distinctly enabled by AI, but our business gets stronger (not commoditized) as foundation models improve. We are building durability through two-sided network effects that compound over time.

• Top tier investors: With the traction to support conviction in our model, we raised significant funding from top investors (Thrive Capital, General Catalyst, and Accel) to build an exceptional team of engineers and operators.

Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow. We move fast and need to move faster.

All full-time roles are in person in New York. You can learn more about working with us in the last section of this page.

About the role

We are looking for a Brand Designer to help us shape how Tandem is presented to the world. You'll elevate our brand through craft, clarity, and originality—contributing to how Tandem looks, feels, and communicates as we scale. You’ll design robust visual systems, lead art direction, and craft surfaces that prioritize brand and product storytelling.

This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. We expect sharp product thinking, high craftsmanship, and the ability to ask the right questions to get to the why. You will be expected to "act like an owner" and commit yourself to Tandem's success. If you’re low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll do

• Shape how Tandem looks, feels, and communicates—owning our visual identity across brand, web, and product

• Create work with a level of craft and attention to detail that sets the standard for the team

• Define a strategy for a scaling brand, bringing a systems mindset and always thinking across surfaces and channels

• Bring strategic instinct to every project, connecting individual design decisions to broader brand goals

• Partner with cross-functional teams to build upon great ideas by making things real

We’ll be most excited if you have

• 5+ years of experience leading and designing interactive brand experiences

• Excellent visual craft, interaction design, and art direction, with a strong instinct for motion

• A track record of independently delivering work as well as influencing the work of other designers, contractors, and agencies

• The kind of eye for detail and love for the craft that shows up in everything you touch

• High NPS with your former teammates

This is a list of ideal qualifications for this position. If you don't meet every single one of them, you should still consider applying! We’re excited to work with people from underrepresented backgrounds, and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

Working with us

Tandem is based in New York, with our full team working out of a beautiful and spacious office in SoHo. 

We run as a high-trust environment with high autonomy, which requires that everyone is fully competent and operates in line with our principles:

• Commit to audacity. "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right.”

• Do the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing.

• Find the shortest path. Use hacks, favors, and backdoors. Only take a longer road on purpose.

• Spit it out. Be direct, invite critique, avoid equivocation – we want right answers.

• Be demanding and supportive. Expect excellence from everyone and offer help to achieve it.

• Do what it takes to be number 1. We work hard to make sure we win.

We provide competitive compensation with meaningful equity (for full-time employees). Everyone who joins early will be a major contributor to our success, and we reflect this through ownership and pay.

We also provide rich benefits to ensure you can focus on creating impact (for full-time employees):

• Fully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.

• Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.

• Unlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.

• 401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.

• Lunch at the office every day and Dinner at the office after 7 pm.

Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our company’s size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other opportunities at Tandem (for full-time employees). Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, geography, and balancing internal equity.
