Brand & Marketing Designer

We’re looking for a multidisciplinary Brand & Marketing Designer to help bring Lakera’s visual presence to life across channels — with a strong emphasis on conceptual thinking and clarity in a technical space.

You’ll work closely with the marketing, product, and leadership teams to develop assets that translate complex technical ideas into compelling, high-impact design. This is an ideal role for a designer who’s excited about working in a technical space, loves storytelling through design, and wants to shape how we communicate with enterprise buyers, security teams, and technical decision-makers. As the creative heartbeat of Lakera, you’ll ensure every visual touchpoint is aligned with our mission and drives meaningful business impact.

Who You'll Be Doing & Your Impact:

• Support and extend Lakera’s brand identity — maintaining consistency while expanding its application across new touchpoints

• Translate abstract or technical concepts into clear, engaging visuals for campaigns, product launches, events, and digital platforms

• Collaborate with the marketing and product to develop compelling visuals that support awareness, engagement, and growth

• Support the design and upkeep of Lakera’s website, landing pages, and digital experiences (Webflow experience is a plus)

• Ensure visual consistency and quality across all branded content and external-facing design

• Work cross-functionally as a creative partner, helping to bring the Lakera story to life across the company

• Bring conceptual thinking to each design project — aligning creative decisions with audience needs and business goals

Who You Are & What Makes You Qualified:

• 3-5+ years of experience in brand and marketing design, ideally in B2B or developer tools

• A strong portfolio demonstrating brand systems, conceptual work, and impactful marketing design

• Experience with web design and content management systems (Webflow is a plus)

• A strategic mindset with the ability to connect brand design decisions to user insight, business objectives, and market context

• Proven ability to go from concept to final execution, with an eye for detail and consistency

• Experience collaborating cross-functionally and adapting designs to different audiences and formats

• Proficiency in tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and (optionally) Webflow or motion/video tools

• Strong communication skills and creative instincts, paired with strategic thinking

• Comfortable in early-stage environments — proactive, adaptable, and able to bring structure to ambiguity

• Passionate about design, storytelling, and simplifying technical narratives through creative expression
