Responsibilities

Requirements

• Strong typography, layout, and color instincts; fluency in Figma (motion/video tools a plus)
• Genuine curiosity about AI and how it's reshaping marketing, though no technical background is required

Preferred

• Nice to have: experience designing for B2B SaaS, martech, or social/community platforms

• Clear career growth opportunities as the company scales
