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.
