Senior Brand Designer

Навыки

Обязанности

• 01Lead design across key brand moments — product launches, campaigns, events, internal initiatives, and moments not yet defined
• 02Evolve the foundational elements of Vercel's visual identity: typography, color, composition, iconography, imagery, motion, and product-brand expression
• 03Design across mediums, including web, motion, 3D, social, print, swag, and environments, choosing whatever format best serves the story
• 04Move fluidly between Figma and code — writing HTML/CSS/JS and using AI-assisted tools (v0, Cursor, Claude Code) — to prototype independently and explore new forms of brand expression
• 05Build and evolve a brand system that scales without going stale, translating it into tools, templates, and production-ready assets
• 06Work hands-on from concept through final production, including preparing files, specs, and assets for implementation
• 07Know when motion, 3D, code, or emerging technology meaningfully strengthens an idea — and when a simpler execution serves better
• 08Establish a shared visual language across product, marketing, and internal comms — flexible enough to scale from everyday use to major brand moments
• 09Partner with design engineers to polish prototypes into high-quality digital experiences
• 10Collaborate with engineering, marketing, product design, and leadership to align on strategy and ship cohesive work
• 11Direct and collaborate with external specialists — studios, freelancers, photographers, illustrators, printers, fabricators — when execution extends beyond your own craft
• 12Present and defend creative decisions, connecting visual choices to brand, product, audience, and business goals

Требования

• 015+ years in brand, marketing, or visual design — ideally at a SaaS, developer tools, or fast-growing tech company
• 02A portfolio showing exceptional taste, systems thinking, and execution across mediums — not just polished final images, but how you think, build systems, collaborate, navigate constraints, and get work into production
• 03Exceptional typography and layout skills, with obsessive attention to spacing, hierarchy, rhythm, proportion, and alignment
• 04Deep understanding of visual storytelling, brand systems, composition, motion, and digital experiences
• 05You use AI throughout your process — visual exploration, prototyping, production, automation, and writing front-end code — not just to generate imagery or concepts, but to write, understand, debug, and iterate on code
• 06Comfortable with tools like v0, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI-assisted coding environments to build working prototypes
• 07Practical understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — enough to refine AI-generated code to a high visual and interaction standard
• 08You don't need to be a full-time engineer, but you're technically curious, comfortable in code, and capable of shipping functional prototypes
• 09You think beyond static files and enjoy bringing ideas to life as real, interactive experiences
• 10Strong production knowledge across digital and physical formats — responsive design, asset delivery, print prep, environmental graphics, vendor production
• 11Comfortable moving between conceptual thinking, detailed execution, prototyping, and production
• 12Understands how brand lives inside products and digital experiences, not just marketing campaigns
