Snorkel's Marketing team shapes how the AI industry understands frontier data development. We're a team spanning brand, content, communications, product marketing, growth, community, and events, and we work directly with our founders and research team to turn original research into market-defining stories. Brand sits at the center of that work: it's how a data research lab earns attention from frontier labs, Fortune 500 enterprises, top researchers, and the domain experts who contribute to our work.

We're hiring a Staff Brand Designer to own the evolution of Snorkel's brand identity. Snorkel has changed faster than its brand has. You'll close that gap: defining where the visual identity goes next, building the system that carries it, and making sure every surface, from the website to a NeurIPS booth to a benchmark leader board, looks like it came from the most rigorous lab in AI.

This is a senior individual-contributor role with real leverage and autonomy. You'll be hands‑on in the work, and you'll also manage our design agency and a bench of freelance contractors, setting direction, reviewing work, and holding a high bar across everything they ship. This role reports to the CMO.

• Own the brand identity. Lead the next evolution of Snorkel's visual identity, including logo system, typography, color, illustration, iconography, data visualization, motion, and photography direction.
• Build and govern the brand system. Create and maintain brand guidelines, Figma libraries, templates, and design artifacts that let marketing, sales, research, and recruiting produce on‑brand work without a designer in the loop.
• Manage our design agency and contractors. Brief, set creative direction, run reviews, and own quality, scope, timelines, and budget across agency and freelance partners. Decide what gets built in‑house versus outsourced, and build the contractor bench as needs grow.
• Design high‑visibility launches. Lead creative for major moments, including funding and company announcements, research and benchmark launches, flagship events like our Frontier Data Summit, and conference presence at NeurIPS and other AI venues.
• Make research legible and beautiful. Develop a distinctive visual language for technical content: benchmark results, charts, diagrams, papers, leaderboards, and research blog posts. Partner with researchers so our ideas are as clear visually as they are rigorous.
• Raise the bar across surfaces. Partner with web, content, and product marketing on the website, campaigns, social, sales decks, and event experiences so the brand holds together end to end.
• Set the design operating model. Establish intake, prioritization, review, and approval processes, and introduce AI‑assisted design workflows where they make the team faster without lowering quality.

You've shaped a brand. You have strong opinions about craft and can defend them to a founder, a researcher, or an agency creative director – yet you maintain flexibility with letting the brand organically evolve in a dynamic space like AI. You're as comfortable redesigning a logo system as you are giving precise, actionable feedback. You're drawn to technical subject matter and see explaining…
