Job description

Cybersecurity doesn't have to be boring. At Surfshark, we take a bold approach to building a brand that makes people feel safe and in control online. Our creative team is where strategy meets storytelling — and we're looking for a Brand Strategist to be the ultimate translator: someone who takes what the business needs to say and turns it into something people actually care about.

If you want to:

  • Turn business goals into human stories. Translate objectives, product priorities, and research into clear, structured, inspiring briefs that define the real problem the creative team should solve.
  • Make tech sound human. Be the person who always asks "Why should anyone care?" — and gets stakeholders nodding at the same message before a single pixel moves.
  • Shape how launches land. Own the messaging and communication strategy: what we say, to whom, and why, across every phase of a launch.
  • Build what lasts. Create messaging frameworks, strategic toolkits, and briefing processes the whole company can rely on and scale with.
  • Get local. Go deeper on our key markets. Figure out what makes them tick, what to emphasize locally, and make sure our global big ideas actually work on the ground.
  • Stay sharp. Work with performance and research teams to analyze what's working, and feed those learnings straight back into the strategy.

And you can check off:

  • A builder's mindset. You've built communication strategies and nailed briefs from scratch. You don't need a playbook to get moving.
  • Translation skills. You have a sixth sense for taking complicated, technical products and making them clear enough that your friends would get it.
  • A global perspective. You know how to talk to the world — adapting messaging across cultures and markets without losing the core brand.
  • Comfort in the gray area. Ambiguity doesn't scare you. When a brief is messy, you ask the hard questions, define the problem, and point everyone in the right direction.
  • A confident voice. You know how to push back constructively, pitch your ideas, and get people on board — even when you're not their boss.

Bonus points if you:

  • Know your way around digital-first, SaaS, or subscription-based products.
  • Don't just love a great creative concept — you love the performance data that proves it worked.
  • Have spent real time working shoulder-to-shoulder with creative or product teams.
  • Use AI tools to speed up insight synthesis and messaging iteration.

Here’s the deal:

  • Growth and learning opportunities: time dedicated to learning, conferences, online learning platforms, and books for your professional development;
  • Health and wellness: we want you to feel and be your best. That's why we offer various benefits, from online workouts and a physical coach to health insurance and regular mental health checks;
  • Tools of your choice: choose the technical equipment and tools you need to do your best work;
  • Community and celebrations: get ready for long-lasting traditions such as yearly workation, Friday get-togethers, various team buildings and company celebrations;
  • Work-life balance: We encourage working in the office, with the possibility of up to two remote days per week. Plus, with our WFA policy, you can work from almost anywhere in the world;
  • More days off: additional vacation days depending on your tenure;
  • Premium Surfshark accounts: for you, your family, and friends;
  • Gross salary: 3900-5000 Eur/month. Although it may vary depending on your skills and experience.
