About Us

We’re not just building software—we’re rewriting the playbook. We are the first of our kind in B2B technology, disrupting an industry that’s been stuck in neutral for too long. Our brand is not an afterthought—it’s a strategic weapon.

Now, we’re looking for an Associate Creative Director who can turn our vision into the fastest-growing, most highly valued visual identity of its time. This is a rare opportunity to architect a generational brand, shape culture, and take a company from breakout startup to IPO.

The Role

As our Associate Creative Director you will sit at the intersection of brand, marketing, and media strategy—not just crafting visuals but driving awareness, demand, and brand equity at scale.

This isn’t just about making things look good. This is about creating a top-of-funnel growth engine through world-class brand storytelling, high-impact creative campaigns, and expert media planning. You’ll partner closely with marketing leaders to build and scale a brand that dominates share of voice, accelerates market perception, and ultimately drives valuation.

You will play a critical role in setting the stage for hypergrowth and IPO-readiness, ensuring our brand is not only differentiated but also deeply embedded in the minds of investors, customers, and the broader market.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the visual identity & creative direction across all brand and marketing channels—digital, social, OOH, experiential, product marketing, and beyond.
  • Build and execute top-of-funnel (TOFU) brand strategies that drive awareness, category leadership, and pipeline velocity.
  • Partner with Growth & Media teams to define and execute multi-channel media plans (organic, paid, earned) that maximize impact and efficiency.
  • Lead major brand campaigns—from concept to execution—including new market entries, product launches, and IPO-related brand positioning.
  • Develop and evolve our brand system to scale with the company’s hypergrowth, ensuring brand coherence across all global markets.
  • Work cross-functionally with marketing, PR, and investor relations to ensure brand storytelling aligns with our business trajectory and public perception.
  • Direct internal and external creative teams (agencies, designers, videographers, illustrators) to execute world-class creative at speed and scale.
  • Measure and optimize creative impact, using data to inform iteration while keeping artistic integrity intact.
  • Ensure our brand is IPO-ready—commanding attention, credibility, and valuation.

Who You Are

  • 10-15 years experience as a brand builder. You’ve built and scaled a visual identity that became iconic, not just effective.
  • A marketing strategist. You understand the power of brand in demand gen and know how to translate creative into measurable business impact.
  • A media-aware creative. You understand the fundamentals of media planning, paid & organic channels, and scaling awareness through strategic placements. Bonus if you’ve worked directly with media buyers or planned major integrated campaigns.
  • An IPO-seasoned storyteller. You know how to elevate a brand’s market perception in the run-up to an IPO—whether through thought leadership, investor marketing, or brand reputation strategies.
  • A master of differentiation. You reject sameness and thrive on creating disruptive, category-defining work.
  • A leader. You’ve led high-caliber creative teams, agencies, or freelancers—and you inspire them to do their best work.
  • A doer. You don’t just direct—you execute. You’re hands-on when needed and willing to push pixels to perfect the vision.

Why This Role Matters

Our brand will be one of the most valuable assets of our IPO. You will be the architect of its global presence, ensuring that when the world looks at us, they see a company that is unstoppable.

This is your chance to define what a category-creating B2B brand can be. You won’t just be designing—you’ll be engineering brand dominance.

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive salary + pre-IPO equity
  • Flexible work setup (remote-first, with global offices around the world)
  • Health, vision, and dental benefits
  • A leadership team that not just backs, but expects bold creative concepts
  • The opportunity to build a legacy.

At Abnormal Security certain roles are eligible for a bonus, restricted stock units (RSUs), and benefits. Individual compensation packages are based on factors unique to each candidate, including their skills, experience, qualifications and other job-related reasons. We know that benefits are also an important piece of your total compensation package. Learn more about our Compensation and Equity Philosophy on our Benefits & Perks page.
