About The Position

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.
