The Role

Pantheon is looking for a Senior Designer to help shape how our brand shows up across the world.

As a key member of the Brand and Creative team, you will turn strategy into clear, distinctive, and compelling creative work across campaigns, events, executive communications, product storytelling, digital experiences, sales enablement, and internal communications. You will help make Pantheon recognisable, relevant, and memorable for the developers, marketers, IT leaders, agencies, and organisations we serve.

This is a hands-on role for a designer who can move comfortably between big-picture thinking and precise execution. You will bring strong visual judgement, thoughtful craft, and an understanding of how design supports brand perception, audience engagement, and business goals. You will work closely with Brand, Marketing, Events, Product Marketing, Digital, Sales, and executive stakeholders to create work that is both creatively ambitious and effective.

What You’ll Do

Translate brand strategy, campaign objectives, and audience insights into clear creative concepts and visual systems.
Develop high-quality design work across digital, print, social, presentations, events, executive communications, sales enablement, and internal channels.
Create and evolve campaign identities, art direction, layouts, illustrations, motion concepts, and supporting design assets.
Partner with copywriters, strategists, marketers, event leads, and subject-matter experts to develop integrated creative work from brief through delivery.
Help with the visual development of major brand moments, including global campaigns, product launches, customer stories, company events, and executive engagements.
Design experiences that work across audiences, formats, markets, and channels while maintaining a coherent Pantheon brand.
Bring fresh ideas, references, and perspectives to the team, while knowing when to build from established systems and guidelines.
Present concepts and creative recommendations clearly, explain the thinking behind your work, and incorporate feedback with confidence and care.
Manage multiple projects at different stages, balancing deadlines, quality, stakeholder needs, and available resources.
Collaborate with external agencies, freelancers, production partners, and vendors when additional support is needed.
Contribute to and improve Pantheon’s design systems, templates, asset libraries, workflows, and creative operations.
Help raise the quality and consistency of design across the organisation through constructive critique, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
Stay curious about emerging design practices, tools, technologies, and responsible uses of AI in creative work.
Champion an AI-first approach to creative work by identifying and implementing AI tools to automate design tasks, streamline workflows, and improve efficiency.
Explore emerging AI capabilities and design technologies to optimize creative processes and elevate the quality of brand work.

The ability to turn complex ideas, products, and business priorities into clear and compelling visual communication.
Strong partnership with cross-functional stakeholders and the ability to build alignment around creative decisions.

Experience working across integrated campaigns, digital channels, presentations, events, and other brand touchpoints.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to explain design decisions to both creative and non-creative audiences.
Strong collaboration skills and the judgement to navigate differing perspectives, feedback, and competing priorities.
Excellent organisation, attention to detail, and the ability to manage several projects simultaneously.
Comfort working in a distributed, cross-functional, and fast-moving environment.
Experience with relevant design and collaboration tools, such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, presentation software, and digital asset-management platforms.
A pragmatic, curious, and solutions-oriented approach, with a high bar for quality and a willingness to get hands-on.
Experience leveraging AI-powered design tools to streamline creative workflows, automate processes, and improve efficiency.
A forward-thinking approach to design, with curiosity and a willingness to explore new tools and technologies to improve the creative process.

You’ll Stand Out If You Have

Experience designing for a B2B technology, SaaS, developer, infrastructure, WebOps, or open-source audience.
Experience creating brand systems or campaigns that work across global markets and different cultural contexts.
Experience with motion design, video, animation, illustration, 3D, or other complementary creative disciplines.
Experience designing for large-scale events, executive experiences, customer engagements, or physical environments.
