Growth Designer
Overview
A Series A AI-native marketing automation startup is hiring a Growth Designer to own creative execution across brand, product launches, content, community, and growth experiments.
This is a highly creative, hands-on role for someone who can move fluidly between writing copy, producing short-form video, mocking up landing pages in Figma, planning events, building community programs, and turning technical product details into content people actually want to engage with.
The company is building a marketing automation platform for modern software companies, helping growth teams run go-to-market workflows across acquisition, retention, and customer engagement with AI agents doing work that legacy marketing tools cannot.
This is not a traditional demand generation, strategy-only, or pure product design role. The right person is a maker: someone with a strong creative eye, a public portfolio or body of work, and a clear history of shipping creative projects from idea to execution.
Location: San Francisco, CA

- Strong portfolio, personal website, public body of work, side project, newsletter, social account, creative page, or other shipped work that shows real creative taste and execution.
- Strong storytelling instincts, with the ability to turn technical product details into narratives, not just feature lists.
- Comfortable using creative tools, including Figma or similar design tools, video editing tools, content platforms, and lightweight project management systems.
- Strong aesthetic judgment and attention to detail across every asset, from thumbnails and emails to slides and landing pages.
- Ability to manage multiple fast-moving projects without losing quality or momentum.
- Comfortable with outreach across social media, digital communities, partners, creators, and potential collaborators.
