🌎 About Askable
Hey, we’re Askable - the world’s most loved user research platform. Loved by whom you ask? Woolies, Qantas, Canva, BUPA, CommBank, NAB, Telstra, BBC, Mastercard and hundreds more. Not bad right?
We help teams run better research faster — from participant recruitment to insights — so they can build products people actually want.
Askable began in 2017 as an idea scribbled on a sticky note, born out of frustration with the clunky, outdated research processes we’d experienced firsthand. So, we set out to build a new way—one that makes quality research accessible to everyone, from Fortune 500s to startups hungry for insights.
Now with offices in Brisbane, London, and Chicago, we’re growing the team to bring Askable’s research power to researchers everywhere, so they can make smarter, user-driven decisions.

💡 Why this role, why now
Every B2B SaaS company is now an "AI company." Demos look the same. Landing pages look the same. The category is collapsing into a sea of identical aesthetics, identical claims, and identical product screenshots.
In that environment, we believe brand is the moat. The companies that win the next five years won't be the ones with the best AI features. They'll be the ones whose brand is so distinct, so consistently expressed, and so confident in its point of view that buyers remember them before they remember their feature list.
That's the job.
You'll own the visual identity, design system, and creative output at Askable. You'll evolve the brand from competent and clean to differentiated and unmistakable. And you'll do it leaning hard into AI as a creative force multiplier, not as a content factory.

Who you are
6+ years in brand or visual design, with at least 2 years in a senior role at a B2B SaaS company in scale-up mode. Bonus if you've shipped a full brand evolution.
A portfolio that shows craft and a point of view. We're not looking for safe. We're looking for distinct.
A senior IC with leadership instincts. You can personally ship the brand work that matters most, and you know how to use systems, AI, and external partners to scale everything else. You've seen a design function grow around you and you're ready to be the one building it.
Genuinely AI-native in your workflow. Not "I tried Midjourney once." We want to see work where AI was integrated into the creative process, examples of how you've cut production time, and an opinion on where AI helps versus where it flattens.
Strong design systems thinking. You've built or substantially evolved a system that scaled across a team.
Range across formats: web, motion, social, event, brand campaigns. You don't have to be world-class at all of them, but you can direct all of them.
A clear view on what makes B2B brand stand out. You can articulate why certain B2B brands break through and what makes the rest forgettable.
Comfortable working closely with product and understanding how things work.
Direct, collaborative, and an owner. You can defend a creative direction, take a strong note, and move fast.
Bonus
Motion design, 3D, or video direction experience
Worked in research, insights, AI, or developer tools categories
Built creator or influencer content systems
Experience working with founders or executives on personal brand visual identity

🚀 The mindset you’ll need
Winning with your team: You’ll be proud of the individual work you do, but find winning as team ultimately more fulfilling. This includes having the emotional maturity to give and receive constructive feedback to better the team as a whole.
Independence and curiosity: You won’t find cabinets full of step by step instructions at Askable. You’ll need to think on your feet, manage your own workflow, problem-solve roadblocks, proactively ask questions, and take responsibility for the goals you set.
Growth focussed: You’ll enjoy the idea of a stretch goal and always be looking for opportunities to improve yourself, your team, and the business.
Quick to learn: You’ll bring an ability to quickly learn and understand our product solutions and features, and keep up to date as our offerings evolve.
