Senior Brand Designer, Events

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust.

We’re looking for a Senior Brand Designer for Events to join the Brand Creative team and bring Vanta’s identity to life across live experiences, ranging from large industry conferences and proprietary events like VantaCon, to international or smaller activations.

This role is ideal for a systems-minded designer with a passion for extending brand identity into the physical world.

You’ll collaborate closely with the Creative Director, Events team, and external partners to deliver work that feels premium and true to Vanta’s brand.

The right candidate has strong foundations in brand design and visual storytelling, and is curious about the intersection of design and experience. You understand how to translate a visual system across large-scale environments, and you’re comfortable owning the collaboration with vendors to ensure that the final execution looks as good in person as it does in Figma.

• Translate event creative into production-ready assets, partnering with fabrication and print vendors to ensure quality and consistency.

• Create scalable templates and design systems that make it easy to roll out future events efficiently.

• Help evolve the brand’s visual language through experimentation and thoughtful design decisions.

• Work cross-functionally with marketing, growth, and comms partners to maintain brand consistency across all touchpoints.

How to be successful in this role:

• BFA in graphic design, advertising, or a similar field.

• 8+ years of experience in brand design, ideally within an in-house creative or brand studio.

• A portfolio showcasing strong brand identity work and event-related projects (conference or exhibition branding, signage systems, etc.).

• Deep understanding of typography, composition, and layout for both print and digital formats.

• Strong collaboration skills and comfort working cross-functionally with events, marketing, and vendor partners.

• Excellent organizational and communication skills, with a proactive and positive attitude.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with AI, and the ability to render ideas into visuals

• Familiarity with set design, fabrication, and environmental graphics production.

• Experience designing for 3D spaces or collaborating with spatial/environmental designers.

• Understanding of materials, lighting, and how design choices impact real-world experiences.

• Experience with motion or interactive design for event screens.
