Senior Brand Designer

About Vercel: Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web. Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things. About the Role: Help shape a brand that moves as fast as the platform it represents. As a Senior Brand Designer at Vercel, you’ll lead the evolution of a brand trusted by the most ambitious builders in the world. You’ll help scale a visual identity that’s instantly recognizable, creatively ambitious, and built for speed. From web and social to motion, print, events, and the occasional piece of swag, you’ll own how we show up. This is craft at speed. A high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who sweats the details, dreams in systems, and isn’t afraid to veer left for a one-off moment that makes people stop scrolling. You thrive in a fast-moving environment where the bar is high and the creative runway is wide open. You’re a tinkerer, a visual strategist, a creative explorer. You create clarity from complexity and fold AI into your workflow, prototyping, automating, experimenting. You push the work until it’s sharp, then ship. We move quickly. The bar is high. The work ships. If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team. What You Will Do:

• Lead design across key brand moments: product launches, campaigns, events, internal initiatives, and moments we haven’t defined yet
• Design across mediums: web, motion, 3D, social, print, swag, environments, whatever format moves the story forward
• Build and evolve our brand system so it scales without getting stale. This includes tools, templates, guidelines, and the thinking behind them
• Prototype with AI and emerging tools to improve speed, quality, and creative range
• Collaborate with engineers, marketers, product designers, and leadership to align on strategy and ship cohesive work
• Bring creative concepts to life through motion, 3D, illustration, and environmental design (bonus if you can do it all, but knowing how to direct and collaborate is key).
• Manage timelines and feedback loops to keep projects moving and quality high
• Give and receive thoughtful critique, and help maintain a high bar across the team
• You care deeply about clarity, elegance, and reducing noise. Your work elevates through subtlety, not spectacle. You know when to break things and when not to

About You:

• 5+ years of experience in brand, marketing, or visual design, ideally in SaaS, developer tools, or high-growth tech.
• A portfolio that shows strong visual taste, system thinking, and the ability to execute at a high level across mediums
• Comfortable working in fast-paced environments where ambiguity is normal and things change often
• You’ve used AI tools in your creative process, whether for production, prototyping, or experimentation
• Deep understanding of layout, typography, motion, and visual storytelling
• Collaborative and clear communicator. Low ego, high standards.

Why Vercel: Our brand is trusted by the developers building the future. We move quickly, with intention and integrity. You’ll be working alongside a world-class team of creatives, technologists, and engineers, pushing the boundaries of what the web can be. Benefits:
