About Neo

AI is the most significant shift in how work gets done since the advent of the Internet — yet most organizations fail to capture its value. Neo is changing that.

Founded by Bhavin Turakhia — Co-Founder of Zeta, Radix, and Titan — Neo is building an integrated, AI-first suite of products that capture work, centralize context, and make AI a first-class participant in every workflow:

  • Tasket — A radically reimagined, AI-native, work management platform that centralizes context and makes AI delegation seamless for all work.

  • Friday — AI Assistant, co-worker and agent platform, pre-integrated into Tasket, Studio, Drive and 1000+ SaaS platforms.

  • Studio — AI-native suite for co-creating docs, spreadsheets and diagrams collaboratively with humans and agents.

  • Scribe — AI assistant for meetings that goes beyond note-taking and actually does your work while on the call.

About the role

As Design Lead, you will own Neo's visual identity and every design output that reaches the market. Brand, website, campaigns, product storytelling, video and motion.

You will build and lead the design function across brand, graphics, video and motion. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will design as well as direct. We leverage best in breed AI tools at every step, across ideation, image and video generation, editing and asset production. The work moves in rapid iteration cycles.
