About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own brand direction for pdf.net: set the direction and keep it consistent across touchpoints.
Lead brand deliverables end-to-end (illustrations, ad creative, social assets, onboarding visuals, brand materials).
Build a repeatable production pipeline: bring your trusted specialists (illustration, motion, graphic design) and art-direct the work.
Write and refine briefs and scripts, especially for motion reels and product videos.
Keep the quality bar high: review work, give clear feedback, and iterate quickly.
Collaborate with the core stakeholders: work closely with the Head of Design and Head of Marketing on priorities and rollout.
Stay proactive: spot what feels off-brand (or what could be stronger) and bring ideas before anyone asks.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Direction-setting mindset: you’re a direction-setter, not just a strong executor.
Conduct, don’t grind: you’re comfortable running production through your network rather than making every asset yourself.
SaaS + startup context: you understand how the brand shows up in product-led growth.
Craft bar: your taste is sharp, and your quality standard is concrete (typography, spacing, hierarchy, details).
Communication style: you communicate clearly and collaborate well; you don’t force ideas through, you find the highest-value path together.
Proactivity: you spot opportunities and bring them to the team without being asked.
AI as leverage: you use AI as a real tool in your workflow, and you expect the same efficiency from the specialists you bring in.
Creative direction: you can direct motion and product reels even if you don’t animate yourself (you can write a script, set the bar, and tell great from mediocre).

Benefits

Comp & perks

A long-term partnership, not one-off tasks.
Strong influence: you’ll shape how pdf.net looks, feels, and communicates.
A team that values craft over volume and clarity over “creative metaphysics.”
Direct collaboration with the Head of Design and Head of Marketing.
Flexibility on the working format (retainer, packages, hourly). They’ll adapt to what makes sense for how you operate.
A clear trajectory: start as an outsource partner, and if it’s a great match, there’s a real path to going in-house.
