A rapidly growing AI startup building the marketing brain for every business in the world is looking for a Lead Product Designer to own design across product, brand, and customer experience. Since launching earlier this year, this company has gone viral and now advises on over $1 billion in annual ad spend across hundreds of brands, including some of the largest consumer companies in the world. As the company's first design hire, you will play a critical role in shaping not only the future of their platform, but also helping define what the next generation of AI product experiences should look like.
In this role, you will work directly with the founders to establish the design vision, own the end-to-end user experience, and help shape the strategic direction of the product. They believe the future of AI extends far beyond the traditional chat interface, and they are looking for someone with strong product instincts, exceptional taste, and a point of view on what the next interaction model for AI should be. This is an opportunity to influence product strategy from day one while building experiences that will be used by marketers and businesses around the world.
This is a full-time remote opportunity open to candidates across the United States. They offer a competitive compensation package along with meaningful equity participation of 0.75% - 1.5%. This is a rare opportunity to join a venture-backed startup at an early stage where your work will have a direct impact on the product, customers, and future direction of the company.
