wormholelabs
Wormhole Labs is a core contributor to Wormhole, the leading cross-chain messaging protocol powering the rails that move assets seamlessly across blockchains. Our work spans protocol development, trading systems, and applications, helping bring a multi-chain future to life. We operate at global scale and support billions of dollars in value movement across networks. We're a team of builders who deeply care about making crypto accessible and solving foundational problems across decentralized finance. We're looking for our first Creative Director to own brand and visual identity across the company, with a focus on Sunrise, the Solana listing platform. This is a hands-on role: you define the visual language and shape how we look, feel, and communicate. You'll set and execute creative direction across marketing and our websites, and partner with product design to bring that language into our applications. We're hiring a creative leader who can build a category-defining brand and raise the craft bar on every asset we ship. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Define and own our brand: the visual identity, voice, motion, and design language that carries across marketing and web, built with a level of taste and precision that makes Sunrise category-defining. - Build the storytelling around our launches and milestones in collaboration with marketing, turning them into moments people remember. - Set the creative direction for Sunrise and elevate it from a product into a brand traders recognize and trust. - Carry ideas from concept all the way to shipped asset across campaigns, launches, social, web, and video, sweating every detail of type, color, motion, and composition. - Partner closely with our product designer, contributing the brand and visual assets that bring our applications to life while they own the underlying UX. WHAT YOU BRING - A portfolio that speaks for itself. Range across brand identity, motion, marketing, and landing pages, with a clear through-line of taste in everything you've shipped. - Exceptional visual taste and a deep command of craft. You have clear opinions on what the best crypto products get right and wrong, and can articulate why. - You do your best work hands-on. Whether you've led teams previously or stayed as an individual contributor, what draws you now is owning the work yourself, end to end. - A refusal to ship until the work is right, paired with the judgment to know when it is. - High agency and calm in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. You drive outcomes rather than waiting for permission. WHAT YOU BRING - Competitive salary and restricted token units, dependent on position type and location. - Discretionary bonus dependent on company and individual performance. - Unlimited time off, healthcare premium reimbursement, and 401K. - Studio Display XDR with MacBook Pro, or equivalent. - Flexibility of working from wherever you have work authorization, as long as you can overlap 10-6PM US Eastern Time. We minimize unnecessary meetings, but building decentralized systems requires synchronous communication. Note: We index heavily on the portfolio submission. If you don't hear from us, please take it as a polite decline for now.
