Dispel has truly simplified remote SCADA access for the city of Brentwood. The platform is secure, simple to use, and very efficient.

Dispel

Dispel is a growth-stage cybersecurity company building secure remote access for critical infrastructure: utilities, manufacturing, and essential services. As our Staff Brand & Web Designer, you'll set the strategic direction for how Dispel looks, feels, and communicates across every touchpoint, from dispel.com to conference booths to product UI. 
 
This role goes beyond hands-on design. You'll define the multi-year brand platform, build the systems and governance that keep it consistent at scale, and lead major web initiatives that drive measurable business results. You'll direct vendor and agency partners, coach senior designers, and work closely with executive leadership to make sure brand and web decisions support where the company is headed. 
 
AI is core to how we work. You should already be using GenAI tools daily, whether that's generating visual concepts, producing content at speed, building interactive prototypes, or automating production workflows. At this level, you'll also define how the team uses AI to scale brand output without sacrificing quality. 
 
You'll partner daily with the Chief Design Officer and Director of Marketing to align brand, web, and product design into a cohesive experience for customers in industrial manufacturing, utilities, and other critical infrastructure sectors. 
 
This role is part of the Design organization.

* Skills in directing external partners (agencies, vendors, freelancers) with clear briefs and quality oversight
