Role Highlights
- Define and own the company's visual identity — not a rebrand, a proper build from scratch
- Lead creative direction across the website (first major deliverable), launches, campaigns, events, social, and video
- Build a self-serve brand system and template library so the wider team can produce on-brand assets at speed, with AI embedded in the workflow
- Own and grow a network of freelancers and agencies across motion, video, photography, and production
- Partner closely with the Paris-based product design team and US leadership to keep brand and product visually aligned
You Will Need
- Demonstrated creative leadership at a high-craft technology company — agency background considered if you've owned the work end-to-end
- Hands-on: able to art-direct a video, push pixels on a landing page, and brief a freelancer in the same week
- AI-fluent — already using AI as a core part of your creative and production workflow, not as a threat to craft
- Experience building or managing a creative function, brand system, or freelancer network
- Enterprise buyer intuition — you know what enterprise-credible brand looks and feels like, and can balance disruption with credibility
Why You'll Love It
- Blank canvas creative mandate — full ownership of how one of AI's most interesting companies shows up to the world
- Real traction: 3,000+ enterprise customers, 80%+ weekly active users, Sequoia-backed
- Meaningful equity at a well-funded stage with genuine upside
- $200,000–$250,000 base salary
- Small, low-ego, high-taste team that takes the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously
- New York, Soho — in-office with a team that genuinely wants to be there
