About Varalife

We’re a longevity-nutrition startup turning cutting-edge aging science into daily nutrition and diagnostic tools. Backed by the University of Hyderabad (Startup India) & Karnataka’s Elevate program, we’re a lean, high-ownership team pushing the frontiers of cellular health.

Role Description

Own every customer touch-point then craft, ship, and refine it. The split is 70 % execution, 30 % design strategy. You’ll partner directly with the founders and Brand Strategist to translate serious science into scroll-stopping visuals across digital, physical and experiential channels.

What you'll do

Execution (≈70 %)

Brand systems :  Build & maintain our master style guide and component library (Figma + Adobe CC).

Content & campaigns :  Design static and motion assets for Meta, Google and influencer ads; create social posts, stories and short-form video graphics.

Packaging & print :  Own capsule / bottle artwork, dielines and unboxing experience; work with suppliers to nail colour, material and regulatory specs.

Product & web :  Design UI flows, landing pages and micro-interactions; partner with developers for pixel-perfect builds and rapid A / B tests.

Offline & experiential :  Craft POS displays, event booths and investor decks that feel premium yet scientific.

Strategy (≈30 %)

Evolve Varalife’s visual positioning as the longevity category matures.

Translate consumer insights and performance data into design hypotheses and quick iterations.

Must-haves

2-4 yrs hands-on visual / brand design (ideally D2C, wellness, or tech-first).

Portfolio showing concept-to-execution work across digital and print.

Fluency in Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign; solid understanding of responsive UI.

Sharp eye for typography, colour and hierarchy and being able to rationalise every pixel.

Data-curious mindset; iterate based on CTR, CVR and scroll depth.

Comfort with ambiguity, tight deadlines and candid feedback loops.

What Success Looks like after Month 12

Unified brand presence across every touch-point.

Faster ship cycles :  concept → live asset in hours / days.

Measurable uplifts :  higher ad CTRs, PDP conversion and “wow” unboxing moments.

Design culture :  documented systems and feedback rituals that inspire the team.

We aim to offer direct access to founders; zero bureaucracy; massive impact. Our vision is to create a mission-driven workplace obsessed with pushing human potential, starting with our own.
