Ensure brand and product consistency: Work closely with the Product and Product Design teams to ensure marketing assets and landing pages align with the overall product design strategy and user experience.

Champion the brand voice: Collaborate with the Brand and Creative teams to develop and consistently apply our brand's visual identity across all marketing touchpoints.

Create a range of marketing collateral: Produce various assets as needed, including social media posts, content design, and other marketing materials that support campaigns.

What We’re Looking For

Experience: You have 3-5+ years of experience in a marketing design or graphic design role, preferably within a fast-paced, data-driven environment like consumer tech or an agency. 

Strong portfolio: You have a compelling portfolio that demonstrates expertise in designing for the entire marketing funnel and an ability to adapt designs for various platforms including web, mobile, social media, and email.

Technical proficiency: You have a mastery of industry-standard design software (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite) and experience with design handoffs to engineering teams. Basic knowledge of web design, content management systems (CMS), and motion/video software is a plus.

Strategic marketing mindset: You understand the full marketing funnel and the dynamics of different channels. You have experience working directly with Growth Marketing teams and performance marketing specialists.

Data-informed designer: You have a strong understanding of marketing KPIs and how design impacts them. You have proven experience with A/B testing and using performance data to iterate and optimize your designs for conversion.

Cross-functional collaborator and communicator: You excel at working with diverse teams, including brand managers, growth marketers, content creators, product managers, and engineers. You know how to communicate your vision and plans and keep stakeholders informed. 

Customer-centric approach: You are skilled at conducting customer and competitive research and translating those findings into effective, resonant designs.
