About the role
- We're looking for a Design Director to lead Perplexity's Brand and Marketing design team. You'll manage a team of designers across brand, web, motion, and enterprise marketing - and be responsible for the quality, consistency, and creative ambition of everything the brand puts into the world.
- This person would focus mostly on operations, stakeholdership, and creative strategy alignment, while working alongside our Creative Director who will continue to own the visual centers and art direction of the day to day projects.
- You'll report to the Head of Design and work closely with Growth, Comms, Partnerships, and Product Marketing.
Responsibilities
- Lead and manage the Brand design team - currently ~8 people across brand, motion, web, enterprise marketing, and ambassadors
- Own hiring, team development, and career growth for the Brand org
- Partner with the Creative Director on maintaining visual quality and brand coherence across all touchpoints
- Build a production workflow that keeps up with Perplexity's speed without sacrificing craft
- Be the point of contact for cross-functional partners - Comms, Product Marketing, Partnerships, Events - so requests are triaged, scoped, and delivered
- Manage vendor relationships, contractors, and external agencies where needed
- Experience leading a brand or marketing design team of 5+ people at a consumer tech company
- Good creative taste and enough design fluency to earn the team's respect, even if you're not the one pushing pixels day-to-day
Requirements
- Experience partnering with comms, marketing, and GTM teams on launches and campaigns
- Comfort working alongside a strong Creative Director - this role is about enabling great creative work, not competing with it
Benefits
- Own and define the long-term brand strategy, including the brand vision, narrative, and guidelines, ensuring design output aligns with overall company business objectives.
