About The Company
Naya was co-founded by Vivek and Saad at Harvard after over a decade of navigating the complexities of the design process in real-world scenarios. Supported by some of the world's leading investors, Naya has developed a comprehensive platform that consolidates the entire digital workflow into a single, unified environment. This platform allows teams to seamlessly collaborate on various design assets, including brainstorms, 2D drawings, 3D models, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and over 150 integrations and file types. By bringing all these elements into one accessible space, Naya streamlines the creative process, fostering greater efficiency and innovation.
With a focus on enhancing the design journey, Naya AI empowers teams to generate 2D concepts, 3D models, and presentations that stimulate creativity at the front end. Simultaneously, it offers insights related to estimation, manufacturing, and value engineering, which significantly reduce time and costs during the backend of the design process. This integrated approach allows creative teams at renowned organizations such as Google, MillerKnoll, and Adidas to accelerate their design iterations, collaborate more effectively, and deliver innovative solutions that delight their customers.

About The Role
We are seeking a talented and innovative Visual Designer to join our dynamic team at Naya. In this role, you will be responsible for translating complex ideas and product features into compelling visual stories that resonate with our users and stakeholders. Your work will span across various mediums, including social media campaigns, product highlights, presentation decks, and internal communications, ensuring that every visual element aligns with Naya’s brand identity and strategic goals.
You will play a crucial role in shaping and expressing the Naya brand through thoughtful typography, graphics, motion design, and tone.

Collaboration is at the heart of this role; you will gather feedback from users, teammates, and industry experts, using it to refine your designs and inform the overall product development process.
The role requires navigating ambiguity by breaking down complex processes, identifying core problems, and developing clear plans to address them. You will own the end-to-end design process, from defining scope and creating low-fidelity sketches to developing high-fidelity visuals and preparing assets for handoff to engineering. Your keen eye for detail will ensure pixel-perfect visuals, including typography, visual hierarchy, and consistent design systems. You will also craft compelling internal stories, distilling intricate information into clear, engaging narratives that foster alignment and shared understanding across teams.

Excellent communication skills are necessary to articulate your ideas clearly and collaborate effectively across teams. The ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and deliver high-quality work within tight deadlines is crucial for success in this role.
Remote work experience is preferred, as Naya operates as a remote-first company with team members across various countries and time zones. Candidates should be self-motivated, organized, and eager to learn new technologies and design trends continually.
