In this role, you will: Lead the development and execution of creative concepts for digital, and multimedia marketing materials. Own our tokenized digital web design system in Figma, with components mapped one-to-one to our codebase so that a single change cascades consistently across the entire site—coordinating with the Brand Creative team to ensure we show up in a consistent, evocative manner, and keeping the system structured for both designers and AI‑assisted tools to build from. Prototype and build directly using AI‑assisted design and development tools, moving fluidly from concept toward a near‑shippable experience rather than relying solely on a traditional design-to-engineering handoff. Collaborate with product, marketing, and sales teams to create compelling visual narratives that align with brand strategy and business goals—including bringing an e‑commerce and growth‑oriented mindset to our web store, a fast‑scaling, revenue‑driving part of the business run more like a product than a typical marketing site. Manage a team of digital designers and creative technologists, providing guidance, mentorship, and constructive feedback to ensure high standards of creative excellence. Oversee the production process from ideation through to final delivery, ensuring projects meet deadlines, budgets, and quality expectations. Contribute to the creation of brand guidelines and ensure consistency across all creative outputs. Stay current on industry trends and emerging design tools—including AI‑powered ones—integrating innovative techniques into the creative process. Work closely with UX to ensure that our user insights are being delivered upon. Analyze and optimize creative assets for performance across various digital channels, ensuring that designs drive engagement, conversions, and customer retention.

Hands‑on experience working within a componentized or tokenized design system in Figma, ideally one connected to a live codebase. Genuine, hands‑on fluency with AI‑assisted design or prototyping tools—you don't need to be a deep technologist, but you should already be building with these tools as part of your process, not just aware of them. Strong understanding of brand strategy, UX/UI design principles, and digital marketing best practices. Ability to translate user insights into compelling digital experiences. Familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, heatmaps, or A/B testing to understand how creative assets perform and optimize them accordingly. Proven track record of managing cross‑functional projects, collaborating with various teams, and delivering high‑quality results under tight deadlines. Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate creative concepts to non‑design stakeholders. A portfolio showcasing a range of creative work, including B2B marketing campaigns, digital experiences, and branding projects. An ideal candidate also has: Experience designing for or partnering closely with an e‑commerce or product‑led‑growth (PLG) motion, in addition to traditional marketing/brand work. In‑house experience at a fast‑scaling company, in addition to or instead of agency experience. Experience preparing or structuring a design system so it can be consumed by AI or MCP‑based tooling, or tying a design system directly to a live codebase. Proficiency in motion design tools like After Effects or Premiere Pro for creating dynamic content, video assets, and animations that complement creative campaigns. Experience with 3D design software like Cinema 4D or Blender, adding depth and sophistication to projects. The compensation range shown spans approved pay zones for this role.
