Responsibilities

  • Brand Systems & Foundations:
  • Contribute to the evolution and maintenance of Snapchat's brand design system, including typography, color, layout, and component libraries used across presentations, toolkits, and marketing assets.
  • Help translate brand foundations into practical guidelines, templates, and examples that are easy for partners across C+M and Global Brand Experience to apply consistently (e.g., deck templates, email frameworks, OOH systems).
  • Campaigns, Initiatives, & Art Direction:
  • Act as design and art direction lead for high-priority projects such as B2B narratives, vertical GTMs, tentpole events (e.g., Cannes, Summits), and internal brand initiatives-owning visual exploration, refinement, and polished design work.
  • Develop visual territories, key art, and layout systems that flex across formats (OOH, social, email, web, presentations) while staying grounded in the Snapchat design system.
  • Provide clear direction and rationale when reviewing work with designers, writers, motion, and external partners, guiding teams toward the strongest expression of the brief instead of simply presenting options.
  • Strategy, Storytelling, & Presenting the Work:
  • Partner with Brand Strategy, Marketing, Creative, Global Brand Experience, Media, and Channel Marketing to translate briefs and narratives into clear visual concepts-bringing a strong POV on how design can best solve the problem.
  • Structure and present work strategically: frame context, walk stakeholders through decision-making, and clearly articulate tradeoffs and recommendations, rather than just walking through comps.
  • Participate in and sometimes lead brand reviews and office hours, helping teams understand not just what is on brand, but why it ladders up to our broader strategy.
  • Tools, Templates, & Scale:
  • Design and maintain reusable toolkits (e.g., presentation systems, iconography, diagrams, illustration styles) that help scale high-quality brand work across the org.
  • Partner with Program Management, Brand Strategy, and Global Brand Experience to ensure design deliverables are scoped, sequenced, and documented in a way that supports repeatability and quality.
  • Craft, Quality, & Mentorship:
  • Design end-to-end from early concept through polished design files, collaborating with motion, editorial, and external partners where needed.
  • Ensure all brand design output meets a high standard for clarity, accessibility, and polish, and is set up correctly for downstream use (file organization, specs, exports, annotations).
  • Provide day-to-day mentorship and feedback to more junior designers, helping up-level craft, systems thinking, and the ability to present and defend their work.
  • Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities:
  • Strong brand systems thinker with experience designing and documenting visual systems across multiple surfaces (presentations, web, events, campaigns).
  • Proven art direction skills: able to define a visual concept, set the bar for look & feel, and guide collaborators toward cohesive execution across channels.
  • Expert in layout, typography, hierarchy, and information design, especially for presentation and narrative-heavy work (e.g., large decks, reports, GTM narratives).
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret strategy and narrative and turn complex stories into simple, compelling visual frameworks-with a clear POV on the strongest pat
