At VAST, you’ll join a fast-moving team that thrives at the intersection of technology and creativity. Our culture prizes autonomy, bold ideas, and high standards of craft. Designers here aren’t just decorators. They’re shapers of experiences that define how people perceive and engage with one of the most consequential companies in AI.

We’re looking for a Presentation Design Lead to own and evolve the storytelling language of VAST: from our flagship keynote decks to sales narratives, executive communications, and our growing presentation library. This role is for a designer who thinks in systems, sweats the details, and understands how visual storytelling, design language, and narrative flow come together to shape perception and drive impact.

We’re looking for innovative, talented and hard-working people to join our fast-growing team… join us and discover just how VAST the possibilities are.
