Job Description
You will own the design function for a hyper-growth AI startup, bridging the gap between high-level visual direction and a scalable, systematic execution. Youll build the design system from the ground up, manage external agency partners, and ship high-quality brand and marketing collateral that supports our scale from $4M to $50M ARR.
Why this role is remarkable
* Direct access to founders and senior leadership at a YC-backed startup that counts global giants like Unilever, Google, and P&G as clients.
* Rare opportunity to turn a scattered brand identity into a world-class, systematic design engine during a critical hyper-growth phase.
* High-impact culture built on taste and speed, featuring quarterly team off-sites, including an upcoming retreat in Portugal this July.
What You Will Do
* Build and maintain a scalable design system across Figma, web, and presentation decks, ensuring cross-company adoption of components and tokens.
* Ship high-volume, high-quality creative assets including sales decks, investor materials, ad creative, and social media content.
* Act as the central design ops hub, triaging all incoming requests and managing the day-to-day partnership with a tier-1 website redesign agency.
The Ideal Candidate
* 6+ years of design experience with a focus on B2B SaaS and a portfolio proving both systematic thinking and elite craft.
* Proven track record of building and successfully implementing design systems that external teams and internal stakeholders actually adopted.
* Exceptional presentation design skills with the ability to hold your own alongside opinionated founders and senior creative directors.
