Responsibilities

• Help Drive the Design Vision: Define and evolve the creative direction for the AlphaSense brand across campaigns, product storytelling, OOH, social, web, and events — ensuring a cohesive, elevated, unmistakably-AlphaSense expression at every touchpoint.
• Lead Idea-Centric Work: Drive the strategic and conceptual pull-through of big ideas from brief through execution, setting the bar for craft and originality on our most visible, highest-stakes brand investments.
• Hands-On: The team is lean, so using your own design thinking and execution to make the work when the moment calls for it is imperative — you direct from inside the work, not from a distance.
• Build & Grow the Team: Lead, mentor, and develop the brand design team in partnership with the Design Manager — shaping roles, raising the craft bar, growing careers, and keeping morale and creative culture high.
• Partner Across Functions: Build deep, productive relationships across creative functions (copy, art direction, production, film) as well as marketing functions (PMM, Product, Web/Growth, and Comms) and lead agency and production partners when the time calls for it — aligning stakeholders and securing support to move ambitious work forward.
• Evolve the System: Develop and steward the AlphaSense design system and visual language so the brand scales with consistency while still leaving room to surprise.
• Push Product Integration: Find innovative ways to bring the product into the brand story, demonstrating the full creative potential of the platform.
• Develop Deep Product & Market Fluency: Build a thorough understanding of the AlphaSense platform, our customers, and the broader B2B enterprise landscape so the work reflects real product value, use cases, and buyer context — not just surface-level aesthetics.

Requirements

• A Proven Creative Leader: 10+ years in brand and creative design, with a portfolio that shows range across campaigns, brand systems, and high-craft execution — and a track record of leading teams to do the best work of their careers.
• A Leader-Doer: You set the vision and the bar, but you stay in the work. You direct from inside it and get hands-on when an idea needs your hand — not from a distance.
• Ideas-First: You lead with concept. You can take an abstract, technical idea — like enterprise market intelligence — and find the visual metaphor that makes it land for a sophisticated audience.
• A Builder of Teams & Culture: You've managed and mentored designers (including through other managers), shaped roles, grown careers, and cultivated a creative culture of transparency, connectedness, and inspiration.
• A Systems Thinker: You think in systems and scale — building design languages and ways of working that keep the brand consistent as it grows while still leaving room to surprise.
• A Trusted Cross-Functional Partner: You build deep relationships across PMM, Product, Web/Growth, and Comms, influence senior stakeholders, and can win support and alignment for ambitious, high-stakes work.
• Fluent in Complex & Enterprise Storytelling: You've made technical, B2B, or otherwise “dry” subject matter feel anything but boring, ideally for expert or executive audiences.
• Strategically Grounded: You balance creative ambition with clarity, strategy, and business outcomes, and you thrive in a fast-moving environment with evolving priorities and a fair amount of ambiguity.
