You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform's impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that's alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We're rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

Overview

Our team is looking for a skilled and passionate designer to help strengthen our performance marketing output—a unique opportunity to directly impact the success and revenue of a multibillion-dollar global tech brand.

As part of this fast-paced, fast-growing team, you'll create compelling, effective, high-quality digital advertising seen by millions. You'll support multi-platform marketing campaigns, working cross-functionally with Creative, Product Marketing, Content, and Growth stakeholders. The ideal candidate is a natural creative problem solver with the ability to execute ideas quickly and thoughtfully. Equal parts rock-solid design foundation and curious solution seeker.

You've got a curiosity for what stops the scroll. You love creating, testing, refining, and finding smarter ways to communicate an idea. You're energized by volume, iteration, and the challenge of making the next ad better than the last.

Responsibilities

• Working closely with the Growth team and Creative leadership, you'll be a hands-on maker/creator of the content that drives our growth. Focused primarily on digital advertising and performance marketing.
• You'll be creating paid media and social advertising assets from start to finish, and their related production aspects like resizing, photomanipulation, and sometimes wordsmithing.
• You'll collaborate on your own executional ideas, as well as helping refine and execute others' ideas.
• A key contributor in helping define growth marketing related ad strategies and the real-time experimentation based on closely monitored performance metrics.
• You'll work closely with performance marketers to understand what's working, what's not, and where the next opportunity lives—helping shape creative decisions based on both instinct and results.
• You don't just make ads, you make the next version of the ad.

Qualifications

• 3–8 years of experience in visual design within Performance Marketing, Growth Marketing, or digital advertising.
• A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional design fundamentals, strong visual problem-solving, and an ability to create work that performs—not just work that looks good.
• You're a design machine—able to 'make assets work' through clever photo manipulation and a crafty spirit.
• You're curious and a critical thinker with strong opinions about advertising. You notice what stops people from scrolling. You pay attention to what works, what doesn't, and why.
• Able to work effectively, and often autonomously, in a fast-paced environment with rapidly shifting priorities.
• Ability and mindset to create, iterate, and strategize on performance-based results.
