- Data Visualization Expertise: Experience designing infographics, dashboards, or data-driven reports that clearly communicate security risks, trends, or product performance
- Design Rigor: Mastery of core design principles—typography, layout, and visual hierarchy—with the ability to use design across digital, social, experiential, and emerging formats
- Communication & Leadership: A sharp, collaborative communicator who can present work persuasively and build alignment across teams and senior stakeholders
- Curiosity & Culture: A strong interest in evolving how brand design lives in a tech-forward, AI-driven world. You stay connected to culture, trends, and design inspiration, bringing fresh thinking to the table
- Campaign Concepting: Proven experience shaping the story, framing the big idea, and connecting visuals to strategy

What the job involves
- Are you a hands-on creative graphic designer with a passion for bringing complex, technical concepts to life through powerful design and visual storytelling
- We're looking for an experienced creative lead to be our dedicated in-house creative hire
- In this role, you'll be the singular force driving our brand's visual identity, from strategy to execution
- You will shape how we communicate our value and connect with our B2B audience in a crowded cybersecurity space
- Creative Direction & Vision: Set the creative vision across brand campaigns, marketing experiences, and design systems, bringing a strong point of view and clear direction to cross-functional teams
- End-to-End Creative Development: Own the entire creative process, from initial concepting to memorable execution across diverse formats including campaigns, events, and experiential marketing. This includes hands-on design and production of assets like Website, video, digital ads, social media graphics, collateral, reports, infographics, booth/event graphics, platform graphics, and presentations
- AI-Powered Rapid Prototyping: Use AI tools at the brief stage to quickly move from concept to tangible prototypes, making ideas more concrete and reducing wasted cycles
- Strategic Collaboration & Technical Storytelling: Partner with marketing, product, and sales teams to understand audience personas, industry trends, and customer pain points. Translate intricate security concepts into clear, digestible, and visually engaging content that drives business goals
- Brand Stewardship: Act as the primary guardian of our brand identity, ensuring all content adheres to brand guidelines and maintains a consistent tone of voice. Drive for quality and visual consistency across all company outputs
Our take
Cobalt is a penetration testing platform providing PtaaS to significantly improve the efficiency and deliverability of penetration testing. The company is working to transform a multi-billion dollar industry that is set to grow in value as vulnerabilities become an increasing liability. Usefully for Cobalt, this applies across smaller and larger businesses alike, as the use (and protection) of data becomes increasingly important across all scales.
Its approach, using a curated marketplace of 400+ highly vetted ethical hackers, is pioneering in an industry typically hobbled by inefficient practices. Existing services tend to deliver a PDF list of vulnerabilities at the end of a testing period. Cobalt delivers results in real-time, integrated into the client’s existing environment.
In an age where hacker tech is continuously and rapidly developing, a service allowing companies to match this with continuous (as opposed to periodic) pen-testing will no doubt prove a vital and attractive tool.
