Knak is a mission-driven company
Why? Because our time is limited, our competition is fierce, and our margin for error is small. For us to have the greatest impact on the world, we need to be laser focused on our core mission, which is...
Empowering people to be creative.
That’s why Knak exists.
We are a world-class enterprise email and landing page creation platform with a focus on making successful and happy customers by providing them with an incredibly powerful, yet easy to use creation platform.
Our industry leading SaaS solution is built by Marketers, for Marketers. We know that it’s the small things that make the biggest impact and that emails and landing pages are where the rubber hits the road when it comes to Marketing Automation. We change the way Marketers work by making them more efficient, while improving conversion rate of their campaigns and helping them stay on brand.
Oh, and we have a bit of fun while doing it, too!
As a Brand Designer at Knak, you’ll shape and evolve how our brand shows up in the world. From campaigns to product storytelling, you’ll create visuals that are not only beautiful—but clear, consistent, and impactful design that strengthens our market presence and supports demand generation.
You’ll work closely with marketing, product, and leadership to bring ideas to life and ensure everything we create feels unmistakably Knak. You’ll be balancing consistency and creativity, moving quickly, and designing for a B2B audience without sacrificing originality. This is a role for someone who cares deeply about craft, thrives in collaboration, and is excited to push creative boundaries.
