Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.
Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.
About the Role:
Help shape a brand that moves as fast as the platform it represents. As a Senior Brand Designer at Vercel, you'll lead the evolution of a brand trusted by the most ambitious builders in the world. You'll help scale a visual identity that's instantly recognizable, creatively ambitious, and built for speed. From web and social to motion, print, events, and the occasional piece of swag, you'll own how we show up.
This is craft at speed. A high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who sweats the details, dreams in systems, and isn't afraid to veer left for a one-off moment that makes people stop scrolling. You thrive in a fast-moving environment where the bar is high and the creative runway is wide open.
You're a tinkerer, a visual strategist, a creative explorer. You create clarity from complexity and fold AI into your workflow, prototyping, automating, experimenting. You push the work until it's sharp, then ship.
We move quickly. The bar is high. The work ships.
If you're based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.

Give and receive thoughtful critique, and help maintain a high bar across the team
You care deeply about clarity, elegance, and reducing noise. Your work elevates through subtlety, not spectacle. You know when to break things and when not to
