Job Description

Instrument is a digitally native design and technology company built to help brands unlock their full potential. Since 2005, our team of makers, thinkers, and storytellers has partnered with leading brands like Google, Nike, Uber, ŌURA, and Eventbrite to craft digital experiences that create impact and drive results.

Unlike traditional agencies, we don’t just design—we build. Our work lives at the intersection of taste and technology, powered by curiosity, thoughtful curation, and a commitment to delivering the most fitting solution for every brief. We bring this to life across three core offerings: Brand, Marketing, and Product.

As a member of our freelance network, you’ll collaborate with our teams to bring bold ideas to life—whether launching new brands, building digital products, or shaping experiences that move people. We welcome collaborators from all backgrounds and experiences who share our curiosity, creativity, and care for craft.

We believe great work comes from diverse perspectives and shared purpose. If you’re passionate about learning, experimenting, and making work that matters, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for an exceptional Associate Design Director to support a leading consumer product experience—helping to evolve and reimagine a large-scale mobile app ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of product thinking, design systems, and craft, shaping intuitive, scalable experiences that drive consistency while enabling innovation across the platform.

You’ll be embedded with the client's multi-disciplinary team, bringing strong UX perspective and systems thinking to complex, high-visibility work.

Dates: ASAP - 7/23

Hours: 40 hours/week

Timezone: EST hours required as you'll be working with teams in London and Austin, TX
