About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define the visual language of Vercel's most-seen surfaces, vercel.com, nextjs.org, product launches, and Ship, and set a creative direction the whole team builds from.
Create the moments people remember: hero animations, launch films, event environments, and brand-partnership work that reaches across screen and physical space.
Own the creative vision end to end, from the first spark of a concept to the finished result shipped on the real web, alongside design engineers who turn your work into production code.
Set the craft bar: the typography, motion, and detail that make a page unmistakably Vercel, the kind of work other teams measure themselves against.
Move fluidly across mediums, web, motion, illustration, 3D, and identity, and raise the bar wherever the Vercel brand shows up.
Leave a mark on the system: influence Geist and our shared patterns through work good enough to become the standard.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Above all, a distinctive eye and original ideas.
Exceptional visual design instincts and creativity are the heart of this role, and the web is where most of your work will live.
A portfolio spanning brand systems and work across multiple digital and physical mediums, anchored by strong, shipped web work. 8+ years of design experience.
Meaningful hands-on range across several of these: motion, 3D, illustration, environmental and event design, and interaction. This is a maker's role, and coding is not what we mean by hands-on.
Systems-minded: you design components and patterns, not one-offs, and think about how each choice fits a broader system.
You've shaped launch moments, events, or brand-partnership surfaces under real deadlines, and you know how to make a moment land.
You thrive collaborating with engineers and understand the web as a medium: how layouts behave, what's buildable, how design becomes code.
Comfortable in a technology-driven environment; experience with developer, B2B, or SaaS products is a plus.
A self-starter and egoless collaborator who takes feedback well and gives it generously.
Familiar with Vercel, with working knowledge or experience preferred.
