The Role

You'll own how Synthesia shows up in every physical moment around the world, from global events and workspaces to the digital experiences that surround them. You'll report to the Director of Brand Design, and join a team of seven brand and motion designers, leading our events and physical brand work.

• Design booths, spatial environments, signage, print assets and merchandise, from concept through to production

• Storyboard and design motion and screen-based content for events and keynotes

• Own office and workplace design projects end-to-end

• Select, brief and manage vendors, agencies and fabricators, including budget and quality control

• Partner with Field Marketing and build event kits and templates so smaller events can run self-serve

• Deep knowledge of print production and large-format design

• Strong craft in typography and layout, and in translating brand across physical, digital and motion

• Fluency in Figma, with the ability to produce production-ready files in Adobe Illustrator

• Experience directing agencies and vendors, including negotiation and budgets

• A producer mindset: balancing creative ambition with feasibility, timelines and budget, while owning your work in a low-process environment

• Strong written and spoken communication in English

We'd be particularly excited if

• You have experience at a B2B or technology company

• You use AI tools to speed up ideation, iteration or content creation

• You have built sites in no-code tools such as Webflow or Splash
