Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve our visual identity, brand system, and creative standards across every channel and touchpoint.
  • Translate business and go-to-market strategy into creative concepts that support launches, demand generation, conversion, and thought leadership.
  • Lead creative direction for integrated campaigns from concept through production and delivery.

  • Stay hands-on where it counts, contributing directly to high-visibility work when needed.

Requirements

  • A track record of connecting creative strategy to business goals and measurable outcomes.
  • Excellent creative direction, visual design judgment, and brand storytelling.

  • Comfort managing multiple priorities and shifting needs in a scaling environment.

Preferred

  • Experience building or evolving a brand within B2B SaaS, technology, or another high-growth company.
  • Familiarity with modern marketing channels, digital design, and creative production workflows.
