Full Job Description

Role Overview: We are seeking a Design Director to lead the design vertical within Brand Creative Services. This is a player-coach role: you’ll create standout brand work while setting direction, raising craft, and coaching designers to deliver consistently excellent creative across campaigns, lifecycle, and always-on channels. Reporting to the Senior Director, Creative (Design, Concept & Copy), you will partner closely with Copy, Creative Production, and Brand Strategy to translate our brand promise into modern, distinctive, high-performing creative as we evolve and scale our refreshed brand identity.
You will be central to operationalizing our design system, educating internal teams and agency partners on guidelines, ensuring best-in-class application across touchpoints, and helping the organization move faster through smarter workflows, including responsible adoption of AI-enabled design tools for rapid iteration and testing. You’re equally comfortable pushing craft-forward brand work as you are designing against performance insights, using data to refine and improve creative effectiveness without compromising brand integrity.

Lead design concepting and execution across key brand initiatives—integrated campaigns, lifecycle marketing, product storytelling, social, web, and partner channels, delivering work that is modern, distinctive, and unmistakably McAfee.
Champion and evolve the New McAfee design system and raise craft for the design vertical, developing strong visual systems, layouts, typography, illustration, and brand expression that scale across touchpoints.
Partner closely with Copy, Brand Strategy, Creative Production, Growth/Lifecycle Marketing, and Product Marketing to translate briefs and insights into clear design approaches and compelling creative.
Coach, mentor, and review work from designers, providing clear, actionable feedback, creating growth plans, and fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration, and inclusive creativity.
Operationalize and steward our refreshed brand identity and design system—educating internal teams and agency partners, ensuring consistent application, and evolving guidelines as the brand scales.
Balance brand-building craft with performance-minded design—using testing and channel insights (e.g., paid social learnings, lifecycle metrics) to iterate and improve creative effectiveness without compromising brand integrity.
Partner with Creative Production to scope work, align timelines, and ensure deliverables are feasible, on-brand, and on time, supporting a healthy, scalable creative workflow.
Champion responsible adoption of AI-enabled design tools to accelerate iteration, explore more creative routes, and improve efficiency—while maintaining quality, originality, and brand safety.
Collaborate with external agencies and freelancers as needed, reviewing work, aligning to guidelines, and ensuring seamless integration with in-house creative.
Be a company leader for Design by presenting and bringing along E Staff all the way up to the CMO and CEO.
Be a people leader with more junior designers reporting into you.

About you:

10+ years of experience creating and leading design work across brand and marketing, with a strong foundation in craft and concept. Both in Agencies and Brand side and experience being a people leader.
Proven ability to set and uphold a high bar for design quality across campaigns and always-on creative, including digital, social, paid media, and lifecycle channels.
Excellence without ego, highly collaborative, able to work across disciplines and backgrounds, and confident presenting design rationale to senior stakeholders.
Strong design systems and brand identity experience—able to translate strategy into scalable frameworks and clear guidelines.
Demonstrated experience mentoring designers and leading through feedback, critique, and hands-on collaboration in a player-coach capacity.
Growth mindset and curiosity—eager to embrace new tools and platforms (including AI-enabled workflows) to increase speed, iteration, and creative exploration.
Experience collaborating with agencies and freelancers to flex resources based on campaign cycles; comfortable reviewing work for brand consistency and craft.

Portfolio Requirement:

A portfolio is required and should demonstrate strong brand systems thinking and end-to-end campaign design across brand and performance channels. Portfolios will be reviewed for both strength in creativity/craft and effectiveness.
