Rocket Lab

ABOUT ROCKET LAB

Rocket Lab is the end-to-end space company building rockets, spacecraft, and critical subsystems that keep the world connected, protected, expand humanity's reach to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine. Come shape the future with us.

MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

The Marketing & Communications team is the storytelling engine of Rocket Lab. We tell the big stories, break down the complex concepts, showcase the inspiring missions, and make space beautiful. Through media relations, social media, video production, events, merchandise, and design, the Marketing & Communications team works across the entire business to translate literal rocket science into stories and messages that resonate with key audiences.


GRAPHIC DESIGNER
Based onsite at Rocket Lab's global headquarters in Long Beach, CA we are looking for a creative and technically skilled Graphic / Brand Designer to create visual content with impact - from mission patches to merchandise, presentations to event graphics, and digital campaigns to website content. You'll partner closely with our Brand Design Lead and collaborate with many teams across the business. We move fast and work on everything from technical renders to social campaigns to rocket livery that'll end up in orbit. You need to keep up, communicate clearly, and push work across the finish line without someone holding your hand.

This role is perfect if you want to own projects from concept to execution, get excited by designing across multiple formats, and enjoy working with teams who care deeply about their work and want to see it brought to life through your work.

This role can be based in either Long Beach, California or Auckland, New Zealand.

WHAT YOU'LL GET TO DO:
  • Design high-quality graphics for digital platforms, print materials, presentations, and event activations
  • Develop compelling visual concepts that translate complex aerospace technology into accessible, engaging content
  • Create branded assets for product launches, mission campaigns, and corporate communications
  • Support the production of video content, motion graphics, and social media assets
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining consistency with Rocket Lab's brand standards
  • Partner with external vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure seamless execution of creative work (merchandise, conference booths, websites, printed collateral etc)
  • Contribute to the evolution of Rocket Lab's visual identity as the company grows
  • Design mission patches, vehicle livery, and other unique aerospace applications
  • Maintain organized asset libraries and design systems
YOU'LL BRING THESE QUALIFICATIONS:
  • 5+ years of professional graphic design experience & a bachelors degree or equivalent years of work experience (9+ years of total work experience).
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
  • Portfolio demonstrating expertise in brand design
  • Experience in developing merchandise and swag, working with vendors through the production process to deliver completed products
  • Understanding of typography, layout, color theory, and visual hierarchy
THESE QUALIFICATIONS WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE:
  • Experience working in aerospace, space, defense, or deep-tech industries
  • Experience with motion graphics, video editing, or 3D rendering software is a plus
  • Knowledge of web design principles and tools like Figma or Sketch
  • Familiarity with 3D software such as Cinema 4D, Blender, or KeyShot
  • Experience designing for live events, exhibitions, or experiential activations
  • Understanding of photography direction and art direction for photo shoots
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt quickly to changing priorities
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to present creative concepts
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to take direct feedback and iterate quickly
  • Passion for storytelling and translating technical subject matter into compelling visuals

This position may require prolonged periods of sitting, standing, walking, computer work, and occasional exposure to moderate levels of noise, dust, and fumes in production areas.

Join one of the world's fastest-growing space companies and own a piece of it. In addition to competitive base pay, you'll receive company stock as part of your total compensation package , giving you a direct stake in our success. As we expand to new launch sites, groundbreaking missions, and global markets, your ownership has the opportunity to grow alongside the company.

Our comprehensive benefits package includes our industry-leading Employee Stock Purchase Program (with a 15% discount on company stock), top-tier medical plans (HMO, PPO, and a zero cost HDHP option with a significant HSA company contribution), dental and vision coverage, paid vacation and sick time, 11 paid holidays, flexible spending and dependent care accounts, paid parental leave, disability and life insurance, and a 401(k) retirement plan with company match.

Additional perks include subsidized EV charging, onsite fitness centers (where available), discounted gym memberships, complimentary snacks and beverages, 50% employee discount on our popular merch store, and a variety of other employee discounts.

Level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base Pay Range (CA Only)

$90,000-$115,000 USD

WHAT TO EXPECT


We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that's not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work, and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
