Brand & Creative Manager
Join TrusTrace as Brand & Creative Manager. Shape a distinctive global brand and create compelling campaigns, motion and AI-powered creative for supply chain traceability.
About TrusTrace
Founded in 2016, TrusTrace offers a market-leading platform for supply chain traceability and compliance, enabling brands and suppliers around the world to standardize how supply chain and material traceability data is captured, digitized and shared. TrusTrace is leading global-scale traceability programs for many of the world’s largest brands. The company is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with additional offices in India and the US.
Position Overview
As Brand & Creative Manager, you own how TrusTrace looks, moves, and sounds. You are responsible for our visual identity, motion design, and the consistency of our brand voice across every channel, from campaign assets and product launches to social, events, and employer branding.
This is a hands-on role for a designer who works with AI as a default, not an experiment. You will use generative and AI-assisted tools to concept faster, produce at scale, and raise the creative bar for a small team. You will also set the standards, templates, and workflows that let colleagues across the company produce on-brand work without bottlenecks.
Key Responsibilities

Review copy and creative across marketing and the wider company to keep messaging, terminology, and style consistent
Partner with content and product marketing to align headlines, taglines, and campaign copy with the brand voice
Oversee freelancers, agencies, and external partners to ensure all external-facing work meets brand standards

Create high-quality assets for web, social, email, advertising, sales collateral, presentations, and events

Concept, storyboard, and produce motion graphics and animations for campaigns, product launches, and social
Create 2D (and where relevant 3D) animation that explains complex topics like traceability and compliance simply
Edit video content and integrate motion graphics, effects, and branded elements
AI-powered creative production
Build and run AI-assisted workflows for concepting, image generation, video, and asset variation at scale
Evaluate and introduce new AI design and motion tools, with clear guidance on quality, brand fit, and responsible use
Use AI to shorten turnaround times while keeping output on-brand and production-ready
Leadership and enablement
Plan and prioritize creative work across marketing and company-wide requests
