About the role

  • Drive Brand Evolution: Create net-new directions with the intentional goal of elevating the Smartsheet brand. Ensure all work communicates clearly, remains on-brand, and ultimately delights the user.
  • Master & Maintain Systems: Participate in the definition, creation, and ongoing maintenance of flexible design systems, component libraries, and brand guidance.
  • Lead & Mentor: Guide other designers in their daily work, reviewing output to ensure world-class quality and professional growth.
  • Own the Lifecycle: Oversee projects from initial conception to final completion with little to no direction. You are responsible for the "how" and the "when."
  • Manage with Precision: Expertly juggle several medium-to-large projects simultaneously, meeting all deadlines while helping less senior designers manage their own time and resources.
  • Collaborate as a Partner: Act as a project owner who feels equal ownership of a stakeholder’s project. You are invested in the business outcome, not just the visual output.
  • Present & Persuade: Present work across various teams and the wider organization. Set up presentations with clarity to effectively direct leadership feedback and keep work "on brief."
  • Commission Excellence: Identify and commission specialists (artists, photographers, etc.) to bring unique, high-impact projects to life.

Requirements

  • 10+ Years of Experience: Extensive background in mid-to-senior level roles focused on marketing collateral, brand systems, and digital strategy, ideally within the Technology sector.
  • Expert Craftsmanship: Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Creative Cloud, Firefly and Express).
  • Bonus skills: Motion (After Effects), Document design (Google and Microsoft Office) and Web (Figma, Zeplin, Webflow, HTML/CSS, Drupal).
  • Cultural Fluency: A deep understanding of global trends and the ability to design solutions that resonate across different regions and languages including but not limited to Generative and Agentic AI.
  • Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in design, relevant certifications, or equivalent professional experience.
