ABOUT GALLATIN

At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made, not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.

We're a Series A company, backed by a recent $50M raise to accelerate the future of defense logistics.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Senior Brand Designer to produce the brand and content work behind Gallatin's product marketing and corporate brand, for audiences inside and outside the company. You'll create the graphics that explain our products to military decision-makers, the decks our teams carry into program offices, our presence at major defense conferences, and the gear our team wears.

Early on, the work is hands-on and high-volume. Over time, more of it shifts to building templates and reviewing work others produce.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

•Market the Products

•Produce OV-1s, concept-of-operations graphics, and system diagrams that show where Navigator, Phalanx, and Burrow fit in a mission. They must be accurate enough for military SMEs and clear enough for a general officer.

•Create product marketing collateral: one-pagers, solution briefs, launch assets, and proposal graphics.

•Keep product marketing tightly aligned with the corporate brand, so each product stands on its own and is still clearly Gallatin.

Carry the Corporate Brand

•Maintain and extend Gallatin's brand guidelines across web, proposals, events, and physical goods.

•Deliver assets for high-stakes moments, such as funding announcements, major conferences, and customer briefings, working directly with the leadership team.

•Design social content for contract wins, product milestones, hiring, and company news.

•Produce conference booths, signage, swag, and merchandise, from concept through vendor QA and production-ready files.

Build Systems Others Can Use

•Build org-wide presentation templates, type and color systems, and a library of imagery, icons, and diagram components any team can use on its own.

•Produce internal brand and content: all-hands materials, recruiting assets, and company announcements.

•Turn repeatable production into templates and AI-assisted workflows.

Run the Pipeline

•Set up and run the intake and prioritization process for design requests.

•Brief and critique external partners when work is outsourced, and own the quality of what they deliver.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

•U.S. citizenship (required for work on defense programs)

•6+ years of brand or visual design experience, in-house or agency, including work you owned from brief through production

•A portfolio that shows identity systems and templates other people used successfully, not just finished pieces

•Strong visual and typographic craft, and the ability to explain your decisions to non-designers, in writing and in the room

•A track record of owning ambiguous, multi-stakeholder work with minimal direction

•Experience turning technical or complex information into clear diagrams and explanatory graphics

•Fluency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and PowerPoint or Google Slides

•Production knowledge: print and large-format specs, color management, and files that printers and manufacturers don't have to fix

•Judgment about which pieces deserve extra time and which need to be good and done, across a pipeline of mixed urgency

•Willingness to travel occasionally for conferences, events, and customer meetings

BONUS POINTS

•Experience producing operational graphics for DoD or other government audiences

•Background in defense, aerospace, or government technology

•Hands-on experience with AI-assisted design and production workflows

•Illustration or 3D rendering of platforms, equipment, and environments in a consistent style

•Motion design, or the ability to direct short-form video

•Experience as a first or early design hire, with a clear view of what you'd do differently next time

•Degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field

MISSION AND IDENTITY

We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.

Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent, you'll fit in here.

WHY GALLATIN?

The logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point.

COMPENSATION

Gallatin offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location. In addition to base salary, we offer a generous equity grant, full healthcare coverage, 401(k), unlimited PTO, and the perks of working in a high-caliber, mission-driven environment.

Gallatin is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

This position may require the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. The successful candidate must be able to work in a classified environment when necessary.
