Senior Manager, Brand Design

Snyk • Boston, MA

1d • $120,000 - $135,000

About The Position

Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud. Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking. It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world. Why this role? Snyk is at a defining moment in its brand evolution, and we're looking for a Senior Manager of Brand Design to help us bring it to life. This is a rare opportunity to step into a creative leadership role at a pivotal inflection point — with real influence over how a high-growth AI security company defines, expresses, and scales its brand identity for the next chapter." Reporting to the Director of Communications & Brand, you'll lead a team of three designers and serve as the creative engine behind how Snyk looks, feels, and shows up across every channel. You're equally comfortable setting design standards as you are rolling up your sleeves to execute — a hands-on leader who can translate brand strategy into compelling visual systems, campaigns, and experiences.

Requirements

• 7+ years of brand design experience, with at least 2 years in a people management or creative lead role.
• Demonstrated experience leading or playing a significant role in a brand refresh or rebrand — from strategy translation through execution and rollout.
• Strong portfolio showcasing visual identity, design systems, and multi-channel creative work across digital and print.
• Mastery of design tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and familiarity with motion/video production workflows.
• Exceptional design sensibility with an eye for typography, layout, color, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to clearly articulate creative decisions and provide direction to both designers and non-design stakeholders.
• Experience working in a fast-paced B2B tech or SaaS environment, comfortable with ambiguity and evolving priorities.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple initiatives and drive work to completion.

Nice To Haves

• Have experience in cybersecurity, AI, or developer tooling — or are excited to get up to speed quickly.
• Have worked at a company navigating a brand pivot or transformation and understand the unique challenges of evolving a brand mid-flight.
• Have experience building brand systems that scale for global teams and across high-growth marketing organizations.
• Have a perspective on how AI tools are reshaping the creative workflow and can help the team experiment thoughtfully.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the Director of Communications & Brand to continue building out and operationalizing Snyk's brand refresh — from visual identity systems to guidelines, templates, and toolkits.
• Translate brand strategy and direction into cohesive visual expressions across digital, print, event, social, and campaign channels.
• Lead, manage, and mentor a team of three brand designers, fostering a high-performance creative culture grounded in craft, collaboration, and iteration.
• Set creative direction for design projects, providing clear and constructive feedback that elevates the work and develops the team.
• Manage workload, prioritization, and resourcing across the brand design team to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.
• Serve as the internal authority on brand standards, guiding stakeholders and reviewing work across the organization.
• Partner with Product Marketing, Content, Demand Generation, Web, and Events teams to deliver creative that supports key business initiatives — including product launches, campaigns, events like the AI Security Summit, and executive communications.
• Collaborate with external agencies and freelancers as needed, providing clear creative briefs, direction, and quality oversight.

Benefits

• Our Total Rewards program includes, but is not limited to, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Flexible working hours, work-from home allowances, in-office perks, and time off for learning and self development
