Head of Design - Marketing (Brand, Growth & Digital).

Location: Bengaluru | Team: Global Marketing.

Design the Future.

Engineer Emotion.

Amplify Impact:

We're looking for a visionary design leader who can fuse strategy, storytelling, and innovation to elevate Ascendion's brand across every touchpoint.

As Head of Design, you won't just own our design system - you'll evolve it.

From enterprise-grade AI to talent transformation narratives, you'll craft experiences that shape how the world sees, feels, and interacts with our brand.

You'll be a strategic design partner to marketing and business leadership - someone who brings bold ideas to life through thoughtful execution, design intelligence, and platform innovation.

And as AI continues to reshape the design landscape, you'll lead that evolution, driving a next-gen design philosophy that's intelligent, adaptive, and future-ready.

What You'll Do:

Lead with Vision, Build with Purpose:

- Architect the end-to-end design vision across digital and offline assets websites, microsites, campaigns, events, and CXO presentations.

- Evolve Ascendion's design language to reflect emerging technologies like AI, agentic systems, and platform innovation.

- Translate strategic business goals and messaging into visual expressions that resonate with both enterprise buyers and talent audiences.

- Partner closely with marketing, sales, and delivery leaders to turn GTM strategies into design-led impact.

Drive Design Innovation:

- Champion a culture of out-of-the-box thinking - constantly pushing creative boundaries while remaining rooted in brand purpose.

- Experiment with generative design tools and AI-assisted workflows to enhance creativity and accelerate output.

- Lead design sprints, workshops, and storyboarding sessions to unlock new creative possibilities.

- Simplify complex offerings (AI, engineering services, talent models) into intuitive and accessible design formats.

Own Brand Aesthetics & Experience:

- Define and scale a cohesive design system for marketing - ensuring brand consistency, design integrity, and visual distinction across formats.

- Lead thought leadership design: whitepapers, keynote decks, frameworks, and visual storytelling formats that elevate Ascendion's market voice.

- Design for high-impact moments - event branding, booths, experiences, social media motion graphics, and enterprise campaigns.

Operate at the Intersection of Tech + Design:

- Bring deep familiarity with both AI and traditional design tools - from Figma and Adobe Suite to emerging AI-based design platforms.

- Stay ahead of design trends in the B2B tech ecosystem - especially in experience engineering, digital transformation, and AI.

- Translate tech narratives (e.GenAI, engineering platforms, GCCs) into design systems that are smart, engaging, and action-oriented.

Lead, Mentor & Collaborate:

- Build and coach a high-performing team of designers and visual creatives.

- Provide hands-on design leadership on key initiatives and enterprise pursuits.

- Collaborate with writers, developers, brand strategists, and campaign leads to create unified, high-converting experiences.

- Coordinate with agencies and partners to scale brand presence across India and global markets.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You..

- Are a hybrid thinker - equal parts designer, strategist, and technologist.

- Have 10+ years of experience in brand design - ideally in tech services, AI/engineering companies, or high-growth B2B brands.

- Are fluent in Figma, Adobe CC, prototyping tools, and AI-enabled design workflows.

- Have a strong portfolio of work that demonstrates your ability to simplify complex ideas and lead visual storytelling at a strategic level.

- Believe that design is not just about beauty - it's about moving people, growing business, and making complexity feel simple.

Why Join Ascendion?.

This is not a maintenance role.

It's a design leadership opportunity at the heart of a fast-scaling, AI-first company.

You'll shape how a global engineering brand shows up in the world - and help lead the next evolution of enterprise storytelling through design.

You'll work in a marketing team that values creative bravery, intelligent experimentation, and design-led impact - and be part of a company where AI is a collaborator, not a competitor.
