Job description

This role suits a mid-weight designer who wants more creative responsibility and the chance to shape a brand used by millions. At TryHackMe, you'll join a fast-growing platform with more than six million users, giving you the space to push ideas, influence our visual direction and create clean, modern design and illustration seen across a truly global audience.

What You Will Be Doing

This is a marketing-focused design role that blends brand design, illustration, digital creative, and lightweight motion.

You will design high-quality static and motion assets for social content, emails, paid ads, landing pages, platform visuals and events. You’ll create clean vector illustrations, icons and SVG graphics used across Marketing, Growth and Content.

Your work will support campaigns with seasonal visuals, launch creative and branded assets that maintain quality and consistency across all touchpoints.

You will contribute to the ongoing development of our brand guidelines and visual systems, helping to shape how the TryHackMe brand evolves over time.

Storyboarding or producing rough visuals is part of the role too — taking ideas and briefs and turning them into clear, polished creative concepts.

How You Will Work

All tasks come through Notion and into a single shared Slack channel with the context, copy, assets and expectations you need. Larger projects — such as campaigns, landing pages or Advent of Cyber — are broken into phases so work stays clear and manageable. Smaller pieces move faster, and during peak moments some deadlines simply cannot shift.

You’ll work closely with Marketing on daily creative needs, with Growth on performance‑led visual testing, and with Content on illustrations and platform graphics.

Feedback is practical, early and consistent so work moves smoothly and late changes are avoided. You may collaborate with external illustrators or motion designers when needed.

About You

We’re looking for someone who enjoys producing clean, modern and high‑performing design. Someone who combines illustration and layout skills with strong brand awareness, and who is comfortable working in a fast‑paced, iterative environment.

You’ll thrive here if you love variety, enjoy taking a brief and running with it, and want to see your work go live quickly.

You will need:

• 3–5 years experience in graphic, visual or brand design
• A portfolio showcasing clean, modern, high‑impact digital work
• Fluent skills in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects)
• A strong eye for typography, layout, spacing, and brand systems
• Illustration ability with a clean vector style
• Comfortable working from structured briefs and iterating based on feedback
• Experience producing social‑first or performance‑led creative is a plus
• Comfortable using Notion and Slack
• Able to manage shifting deadlines and keep a calm, practical approach

Bonus points if:

• You’ve worked in a start‑up, scale‑up or agency environment
• You enjoy cybersecurity, gaming or tech‑adjacent content
• You’re confident delivering lightweight motion or micro‑animations

Benefits and Perks

• 💸 Salary – We hire across 35+ countries. Salaries are based on location, experience and market benchmarks.
• 🚣 100% Remote – Work from anywhere.
• 🕒 Flexi Time – Choose your own hours with UK overlap.
• 💻 Tools – Dedicated laptop + accessories.
• 👕 Swag Pack – Branded bundle to kick things off.
• 💪 Personal Development – £2,500 annual training budget.
• ⛱️ Company Retreat – Fully paid annual retreat.
• 🍕 Lunch On Us – During recurring virtual team lunches.
