Senior Brand Manager

Darcy Solutions is seeking a Senior Brand Manager to take leadership of our brand identity, design output, and storytelling as we scale. In this senior role, you will set the creative vision and standards that govern how Darcy Geothermal is represented with customers, partners, investors, and the public, and you will provide hands-on expertise and oversight of design and content produced across the company.

This is a permanent, full-time leadership position at the center of our marketing and brand function.

This is a production and leadership role, meaning creating assets with graphic design software is a primary responsibility while other production expectations are oversight of internal team members, partners, or agencies.

As part of our mission to decarbonize the built environment, you will shape how Darcy Solutions' story is told as we advance our innovative geothermal technology, enabling a cleaner and more efficient future.

This position reports to the Director of Marketing and Strategy and serves as the senior-most authority on brand identity and design within the company, partnering closely with executive leadership, sales, and engineering, and overseeing external creative vendors, agencies, and contract designers engaged to support the brand.
