About the opportunity: Currently, Cloudflare's entire Brand Design team operates out of the San Francisco HQ office.

As a Design Lead on the Brand Design team, you'll be the owner of the EMEA brand design & creative workstreams, including but not limited to experiential design, corporate events, brand campaigns, sales enablement collateral, trade shows, product marketing, design of office spaces, and advertising. While reporting to the Head of Creative & Brand Design, you will work closely with the other design leads on the team to ensure Cloudflare's branded initiatives in the EMEA region are on-brand, and fully plugged in to our interactive design system.

You will be a senior member of the team - a leader, owning the creative and design execution of global brand initiatives, and having the opportunity to make a significant impact in helping communicate who Cloudflare is to the world, with a focus on how the visual language of the Cloudflare brand is translated for local markets. You will have the opportunity to scale this function into a small team, along with helping to manage external creative agencies.

Ensure you are up-to-date with competitors and changes in media/brand advertisements rates. * Organise relevant events to help with the strategy of building the Cloudflare brand. * Be able to think (and execute) at a high-level about creative strategy and vision -- not just "how it should look" but "what should we build?" * Work in tandem with the US Brand Design team to create and elevate the cohesive global Cloudflare brand visual identity. * Successfully communicate and present conceptual ideas, detailed design, and design rationale (both verbally and visually) with various stakeholders and executive leadership. We're excited about you because you have: * Previous extensive experience designing for an agency or in-house design team * Demonstrable experience in building strong brand strategy * Proven experience managing and leading a team of designers * Strong visual design portfolio demonstrating a range of work across different mediums * A passion for creative problem solving, with experience in self-initiated projects and establishing new processes that ensure a high standard of quality * Proven experience designing across all mediums: web, mobile, email, along with offline: trade shows, events, and interior spaces to help assess whether the team are performing in line with the brand strategy * Organise relevant events to help with the strategy of building the Cloudflare brand. * Proven experience liaising with clients and stakeholders to discuss product service to me marketed, and assess suitability for various medias * An astute attention to detail and care about pixel perfection * Previous experience in translating creative strategy into beautiful, and strategically sound designs Location: London Competitive salary package Please apply by 4th March 2020
