The RoleYou'll be the strategic owner of Vega's brand identity - partnering with the Creative Design Lead, our external brand partner, and the wider design team to evolve the visual language across every surface: web, events, product, social, decks, and swag.
This is a role for someone who thinks in systems, sees a brand as a living thing, and can translate strategy into beautifully crafted visual work. If you've been waiting to take ownership of a brand at the moment it's evolving with real depth and maturity, this is the role.
What You'll Do- Own and evolve Vega's brand identity system: typography, color, layout, and character.
- Partner with our external brand agency on the current refresh, then own the system in-house going forward.
- Translate the brand narrative into visual language across every touchpoint.
- Review and elevate brand-driven output across the team - decks, social, events, web.
- Build and maintain brand guidelines the rest of the team and our stakeholders can rely on.
- Help shape how the brand shows up in the product, alongside our product design team.
- Mentor across the design team and raise the visual bar on everyone's work.
- Work with our illustration partner to evolve the illustration system and pixel art language.
RequirementsWhat You Will Bring- 5+ years in brand design at a high-quality agency or in-house team.
- Demonstrated ownership of a brand identity from strategy to system to execution.
- Strong typography skills - type doing real work, not decoration.
- Sharp visual judgment: restraint, intentionality, craft.
- Fluent in Figma, Adobe Suite, and adjacent design tools.
- Experience writing or contributing to brand guidelines and design systems.
- Comfortable presenting brand thinking and decisions to leadership.
Nice to Have- Cybersecurity, developer tools, or B2B SaaS background.
- Editorial, magazine, or print design experience.
- Interest in pixel art, voxel art, illustration, or character design.
- Familiarity with how brand systems translate into motion.
Salary range: $120,000-$150,000 depending on experience and location.
