SHAPE THE FUTURE OF PRIVACY WITH USERCENTRICS
Usercentrics is a global leader in data privacy and privacy-led marketing solutions. We believe there is no need for a trade-off between growth and privacy compliance. Our vision is to unlock the potential of data privacy to empower a thriving digital ecosystem. We work with companies to create a healthy balance between data-driven business and privacy-led marketing for every size of enterprise. Our customers build trust with their users through improved transparency and control to drastically improve marketing and monetization, while achieving full privacy compliance.

We are looking for a Senior Designer (m / f / d) with a passion for creativity and a keen eye for detail to help evolve our brand design guidelines, acting as the visual brand guardian, to ensure the consistency of our design output within Marketing. You will be embedded in the new Brand & Communications team, reporting to the VP of Communications, but will also collaborate closely with the Product Design Manager to ensure a consistent design system across the business.   

The role will involve a combination of hands-on design work, higher-level strategic decision-making, and career development responsibilities. 
Expertise in digital design UX / UI and digital experiences is essential for this role.

Initially this role will have no direct reports, so the role will be focused on leading the design system & brand guidelines, but over time this will likely change into a more hands-on people management role.
