Why This Role Matters

You'll operate at the cross-section between executing high-level design and stewarding a design team.

What You'll Lead

• A distributed team of two+ designers (US + Vietnam)
• A high-volume workflow supporting product marketing, events, and brand initiatives
• Quality control across all production design output
• Process improvements, template systems, and AI-assisted efficiencies

This is a role for someone who loves graphic design, problem-solving, coaching designers, optimizing workflows, and building systems:

What You Bring

• BA in Graphic Design or related field
• 5-7 years of design experience, including leadership
• A background in B2B manufacturing or technical product environments
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite and graphic design best practices
• Up to 20% travel (domestic and some international)

Skills/Competencies

• A sharp eye for detail and a passion for brand consistency
• Experience managing distributed teams and navigating time zone differences
• The ability to juggle 20+ concurrent projects of various sizes, between yourself and your direct reports, without sacrificing quality

What Success Looks Like

In your first year, you'll execute brand-focused design, streamline our intake process, reduce turnaround times, elevate team skill levels, and help build a scalable design function that grows with the business.
