Role
Who you are
- Experience & portfolio
- 12+ years of professional design experience with a strong portfolio of brand, digital, and campaign work. You've led creative teams. You've worked on brand systems at scale. Web and digital design depth is essential, not a nice-to-have
- Craft authority
- Exceptional design craft. Deep knowledge of typography, layout, composition, and visual hierarchy. Your work is the kind that makes other designers study it. You can articulate why something works or doesn't, and your team trusts your judgment because it's consistently right
- Brand thinking
- You understand how brand systems function. How to extend an identity into new contexts while maintaining recognition. You've evolved brands, built toolkits, and know the difference between brand consistency and brand rigidity
- Digital fluency
- Strong web design sensibility, not just visual design applied to screens. Genuine understanding of how digital experiences work. Responsive thinking, interaction awareness, content hierarchy for web
- Leadership through craft
- You lead by developing others' craft, not substituting your own. You've mentored designers and seen them visibly improve under your direction. You have the patience and the language to coach, not just correct
- Technical skills
- Expert proficiency in Figma
- Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite
- Bonus: After Effects, CSS awareness, prototyping tools
- Location
- London-based (required). We have an office in London and work in a hybrid model
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Creative Director who will own the quality bar for everything that leaves DevRev's Creative Studio – brand, campaigns, digital, events, toolkits, presentations. You'll be the craft authority the team calibrates against
- This isn't a role where you'll build strategy decks about creativity. You'll be hands-on with the work – setting the visual standard, art-directing campaigns, shaping brand executions – while building the processes and team capability that ensure consistently excellent output without you reviewing every pixel
- You'll report to our Head of Creative and lead a team of designers across brand, digital, and campaign work. The role is based in London
- Set the craft bar
- You'll be the creative quality gate. Your eye, your taste, and your feedback will raise the standard of everything we produce. But raising the bar means raising the team, not redoing their work. You'll coach designers to see what you see: why a layout isn't working, what a typeface choice is communicating, where a composition loses its power. Your success is measured by how much better the team gets, not by how many things you personally touch
- Own brand and digital design
- Lead the design of brand campaigns, web experiences, and digital touchpoints. You'll evolve our brand system into new territories (toolkits, events, presentations, environmental design) while keeping it coherent and distinctive
- Build system-level projects
- Design guidelines, campaign toolkits, presentation systems, office design language – the assets that enable others to produce on-brand work without coming back to the studio for every request. You think in systems, not just executions
- Direct and develop the team
- Art direction that makes designers better, not dependent. Your feedback is specific and teachable. You build craft instinct in others by helping them diagnose their own work: what's the hierarchy doing? Where does the eye go? What's the typeface saying?
- Partner across marketing
- Work closely with product marketing, demand gen, and field marketing to translate briefs into distinctive creative work. You're a partner in shaping campaigns, not a service provider waiting for instructions

Our take
DevRev helps developers build better products for customers through a platform that connects them to the revenue their applications generate. Their headless, dev-centric CRM hopes to help developers clock technical issues faster by showing more directly how customers use their products.
When the company emerged from stealth mode in 2021, they were already well backed by considerable funding and a highly experienced leadership team. Collating and usefully displaying customer feedback for developers, especially using AI and machine learning, is a tough nut to crack. So DevRev has been savvy in front-loading talent and investment.
The founders’ previous venture Nutanix saw huge success, reaching Unicorn status before going public in 2016. DevRev and its team reached the same in 2024 off the back of Series A funding. This ambitious startup has already delivered the first iteration of what it hopes will become the largest global developer relations product.
