About Traded
Traded sits at the intersection of tech, media, and commercial real estate. We’re reimagining how CRE professionals interact with data, trends, and each other. Think Spotify-level UX, Crunchbase-style insights, and a media-driven, community-first platform. With millions of deal views and profiles, we’re building a sleek, story-first way for brokers, developers, and investors to build their brands.
The Role
We’re looking for a multi-talented Brand & Product Designer to:

Long-Term:
Lead the rebrand of our entire digital ecosystem — from web to mobile to social stories. Define and implement a scalable design system (typography, iconography, colors, animations). Create custom illustrations, branded effects, and motion to bring the experience to life. Work across teams (product, media, marketing) to ensure brand cohesion across @Traded and @TradedVC.
