• Work with marketing and commercial teams across website, campaigns, events, presentations, launches, and sales materials.
• Translate complex cloud and infrastructure concepts into clear visual narratives and user experiences.
• Establish strong design processes across research, prototyping, testing, critique, and delivery.
• Manage, hire and develop designers as the team grows, while working effectively with external agencies and partners where needed.
• Ensure consistency and quality across every major customer and company touchpoint.

Qualifications

• Significant experience leading design across product and brand, ideally in technology, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, or B2B software.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both digital product design and visual/brand design.
• Experience designing complex technical products and simplifying workflows for sophisticated users.

• Experience building or scaling a design function is strongly preferred.

What you bring

• Design leadership: You set a clear point of view and raise the quality bar across the company.
• Product thinking: You solve for user outcomes, not just aesthetics.
• Brand instinct: You know how to build a distinctive and coherent company identity.
