Hi, we’re CompanyCam.

We’re a simple-to-use photo documentation and productivity app for contractors of all commercial and home services industries. Packed with intuitive functionality, CompanyCam facilitates unparalleled communication and accountability across a contractor’s entire business. We’re committed to providing a consumer-grade, game-changing experience that helps our users build trust within their company and with their customers.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Design Direction to define and scale how our brand is expressed across the full customer experience — spanning both marketing and product touchpoints. This role establishes the vision, structure, and operating model for brand design, leading a multidisciplinary team across art direction, UX, motion, video, illustration, and brand copy.

You’ll guide the evolution and governance of brand guidelines, systems, and component libraries in close partnership with Art Directors who develop and maintain these assets. Acting as a strategic partner to Creative Direction, Web, and Product Design leadership, you’ll ensure brand principles are consistently translated and integrated across the end-to-end customer journey.

This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for both elevating creative quality and building scalable systems that support company growth.

• Align brand systems with Product Design to ensure consistency across the full customer journey

• Resolve cross-team brand decision conflicts and drive alignment through influence

• Conduct brand audits to identify fragmentation and implement scalable improvements

• Balance creative ambition with operational realities, ensuring delivery quality and timeline accountability

• Contribute to leadership planning forums and advocate for design as a strategic business capability

Whether you're writing code, supporting customers, or designing experiences, your contributions directly shape the product we deliver and the people we serve.

• Establishing a scalable brand design system that supports long-term growth

• Elevating creative quality and consistency across marketing and product experiences

• Strengthening alignment between Brand, Web, and Product Design teams

• Building and developing a high-performing creative team

• Ensuring the brand evolves thoughtfully while remaining cohesive and adaptable

What You'll Bring

• 7–10+ years of professional design experience, including 3+ years leading or managing design teams

• Demonstrated experience delivering high-quality creative work across digital, web, video, animation, and physical environments

• Strong portfolio showcasing brand development, design systems, and strategic problem-solving

• Hands-on experience working with scalable design systems and component libraries

• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with product, marketing, engineering, and creative teams

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Proficiency in modern design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite

• Bachelor’s degree in Design, Fine Arts, or related field — or equivalent practical experience

• UX experience (nice to have)

• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions to diverse stakeholders

• A continuous growth-mindset, with a focus on learning, embracing challenges, and continuously improving.
