Head of Brand

About the role

We're hiring a Head of Brand to set the direction for how Ramp shows up in the world. The Brand team—~10 designers, writers, motion designers, illustrators, and producers today—defines Ramp's identity across every surface our customers see: product launches, integrated campaigns, customer marketing, web, events, social, sales materials, and the product itself. We help the rest of the company move fast and ship beautifully by building the principles, systems, and standards that let us scale.

What You’ll Do

• Set the direction for Ramp's brand—its identity, voice, and narrative—across product, marketing, recruiting, and every customer touchpoint.
• Lead and grow the team. Recruit exceptional designers and help every member of the team do the best work of their career.
• Build the AI layer for Brand. Create systems and tools that automate production work at scale and empower non-designers to create on-brand assets.
• Build the operating system for Brand: briefs, intake, reviews, decision-making, and production. Make work move fast without sacrificing quality.
• Partner with the Creative Directors across Growth, Demand Generation, and Customer Marketing to set strategy and uphold a high bar for execution.
• Lead by making when it matters—concept development, art direction, brand identity, and creative direction.
• Deliver 2–3 brand-defining initiatives each year that strengthen Ramp's reputation and attract world-class talent.
• Partner closely with Design, Marketing, Product, and executive leadership to ensure the Ramp brand is cohesive across every experience.
• Manage agencies, freelancers, and production partners to extend the team's capacity as needed.

What You Need

• 10+ years of experience in brand design and creative leadership, including at least 3 years leading a brand team at a high-growth technology company or top-tier agency.
• A portfolio of brand work that shaped a company's reputation through identity systems, campaigns, or brand evolutions you led end-to-end.
• A clear point of view on AI in creative production. You've shipped AI-assisted brand work, not just prototypes, and know what should be automated versus where human creativity matters most.
• A track record of building and leading high-performing creative teams. You've hired exceptional designers, developed talent, and built teams that consistently deliver outstanding work.
• Strong operational instincts. You've built scalable creative processes and can describe them clearly.
• Exceptional craft across typography, color, layout, motion, and visual identity, with the ability to elevate the work of others.
• A strategic mindset and strong creative judgment. You can give clear direction, make difficult decisions, and balance speed with quality.
• Comfortable partnering with Marketing, Product, Recruiting, and executive leadership. Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Comfortable giving and receiving thoughtful, constructive feedback.
• Kind, curious, generous, low ego, and a great sense of humor!
