Relay is the Intelligent System of Action for the physical economy. While the digital revolution has historically left the deskless workforce behind, we are closing that gap by transforming analog frontline operations into a data-rich, AI-powered ecosystem. We arent just selling radios; we are building the digital foundation for the 80% of the global workforce that doesn't work at a desk.
It is an incredibly exciting time to be joining Relay, given we've recently ranked #175 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and #920 on the Inc. 5000.
If you're passionate about technology, driven to make a difference, align your work to a bigger mission, and excited to join a company that's shaping the future of frontline work, we encourage you to explore opportunities at Relay!
We're hiring a Production Designer to join our growing in-house creative team and help us scale how Relay shows up across every surface. This role is the engine behind a lot of our day-to-day output sales enablement, conference materials, ad variations, one-pagers, template populations, and asset adaptations across mediums.
We're approaching this role with a specific philosophy. We're hiring a designer who thinks in systems and uses AI as a real part of their workflow someone who, when handed a repetitive task, instinctively asks "what's the smarter way to do this?" Production at Relay isn't about volume for volume's sake. It's about building patterns, templates, and workflows that let us move faster without losing the bar.
You'll work closely with the Art Director (who owns our Figma design system) and the Creative Director executing within the system, helping evolve it as you go, and building out the AI-assisted workflows that make high-volume production possible. The three verbs that frame this role: executing, adapting, supporting.
Produce high-quality work across every surface of the brand. One-pagers, sales enablement collateral, conference signage and takeaways, segment- and partner-specific materials, ad variations, slide decks, web modules, and physical/print pieces. You'll move fluidly between formats and adapt creative across mediums.
Work within and help evolve our design system. You won't be building it from scratch that's the Art Director's mandate but you'll be a daily power user. Contribute components, flag gaps, and help the system get sharper over time. You'll also bring AI tools into how the system is maintained, running consistency audits, helping with documentation, and using AI assistants as thinking partners when patterns need to evolve. Component-based thinking is core to how you work.
Use AI tools to work smarter, not just faster. This is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. We expect you to be actively using AI in your design workflow today for layout iteration, asset variation, copy support, and rapid prototyping. You'll help build prompt libraries, templates, and repeatable patterns the rest of the team can plug into.
Turn around requests with consistent quality. Sales enablement, conference work, and segment-specific collateral come in steadily. You'll keep things moving, hit deadlines, and apply the same level of craft whether it's a high-visibility campaign asset or a quick resize.
Connect the work back to the business. Pay attention to what we sell, who we sell it to, and how the work you're producing supports the bigger picture. The best production designers aren't heads-down in Figma all day they're asking questions about who the audience is, why something matters, and what would make it better.
Support the broader creative team. Take direction from the Art Director and Creative Director, give and receive feedback on each other's work, and help bring freelance partners up to speed when needed.
