About this role
Come work at a place where innovation and teamwork come together to support the most exciting missions in the world!
For consideration, please include a link to your portfolio showcasing live web projects and Figma-based systems work.
Role Overview
Qualys is seeking a Lead Visual Designer with exceptional creative taste and advanced technical execution to elevate our global marketing presence.
This is not a production or execution-only role. We are looking for a digital-first design leader who can independently own complex marketing web experiences—from concept through scalable Figma systems—while raising the overall aesthetic bar of the brand.
You will play a critical role in shaping how Qualys shows up across web, campaigns, and digital channels, balancing high creativity with structured systems thinking.
In this role, you will:
Own Marketing Web Design
• Lead the design of high-impact marketing websites, landing pages, and campaign experiences
• Translate brand strategy into compelling, conversion-oriented digital experiences
• Partner directly with developers to ensure pixel-perfect implementation
Build Scalable Figma Systems
• Create and maintain advanced Figma component libraries (components, variants, auto-layout, design tokens)
• Think in scalable systems, not one-off pages
• Ensure consistency across multi-page and multi-campaign initiatives
Elevate Creative & Visual Standards
• Bring refined typography, layout discipline, and visual restraint to all work
• Develop compelling digital concepts that go beyond templated enterprise UI patterns
• Push the brand forward with high-quality creative execution
Collaborate Cross-Functionally
• Partner with marketing, product marketing, copy, and web teams
• Clearly articulate design decisions and defend creative rationale
• Contribute to creative strategy, not just execution
We’re looking for someone who:
• Has 8–12+ years of professional visual and web design experience
• Demonstrates exceptional aesthetic judgment and creative range in their portfolio
• Has led the design of real, multi-page marketing websites (not just mockups or product UI)
• Is an advanced Figma user with proven systems and component ownership
• Understands conversion-driven marketing design
• Has experience collaborating with developers and CMS environments
• Thinks in design systems and scalable frameworks
• Is self-directed and capable of owning projects end-to-end
Not a good fit if:
• Portfolio is primarily social posts, brochures, or static assets
• Experience is primarily enterprise product UI without marketing application
• Work shows repetitive layouts with limited creative exploration
• Web examples are limited to thumbnails or PDFs without live experience
Portfolio Requirements
Please include:
• Links to live marketing websites or landing pages you have designed
• Examples of Figma systems or component libraries (screenshots acceptable)
• Clear description of your personal ownership on each project
