Job Description & How to Apply Below
Conversion is building the AI-native marketing automation platform for modern software companies. Today, marketing is stitched together from outdated software, enrichment tools, and disconnected workflows. Funnels are broken. Messaging is misaligned. Most teams are flying blind.
We're fixing that. Conversion lets growth teams build and automate their entire go-to-market motion in one place. From acquisition to activation to retention, it's all managed in a single interface: fast, personalized, and powered by AI.
We've raised over $28 million from top firms such as Abstract Ventures, True Ventures, and HOF Capital. We're at $5M+ ARR, growing quickly, and powering go-to-market for 4000+ customers.
We're a lean, high-performing team in San Francisco. If you're excited about building creative, modern, product-led marketing and doing your best work alongside world-class teammates; we'd love to meet you.
- Over $28M in funding
- $0 to $6M ARR in under 12 months, 4000+ customers
- Elite team from Airbnb, Palantir, Pinterest, IMC Trading, Shopify, Linkedin, Microsoft, and more
Hey there! Kyle here - Head of Product s is a special role to me, as I started here as a product designer, and Levi and I currently own every design decision at Conversion, from design systems to interaction patterns to sock designs. It's a hard role for me to relinquish, but one I'm really excited to fill and bring on some more amazing design talent.
We work in a very competitive space with legacy incumbents (Hub Spot, Salesforce, Adobe), which means design and user interactions carry a large weight in convincing customers to ditch incumbent software for a small startup. We care very deeply about craft because we already have to show we are reputable, intentional, elegant software. And having an email designer that is used by design and content teams only is icing on the cake.
With that being said, here's what we are looking for in our first designer:
- High visual design craft and taste. We have an established design system and component library. Arranging those pieces is easy, but working on finer interactions, building in moments of delight, and being opinionated about those decisions is much harder. Someone who can flex (and is excited!) about doing some visual work when needed - Linked In banners, company merch, etc.
- is a bonus. - A strong understanding of our product. I don't need a PM, but I need someone who will use our tool and have an opinion on how and what to craft. All of our engineers and designers are very opinionated from day one.
- Figma-fluent. Auto Layout for almost everything. Usually doesn't name their layers.
- Willing to experiment with AI tooling. I use v0 for all prototyping, and we are working on getting our own component library into prototyping tools. Folks who know when to press for the details and when to focus on the big picture possess a crucial skill here!
- Own end-to-end product design across web app, email editor, and marketing surfaces
- Contribute to and evolve our design system and component library
- Partner closely with engineering and product to ship high-quality features
- Prototype ideas quickly using Figma, AI tools, or whatever gets the point across
- Weigh in on product strategy and influence what we build, not just how it looks
- Pitch in on brand moments like Linked In banners, merch, and visual storytelling
- Have 2+ years of product design experience, ideally at a fast-moving startup
- Are confident working within and evolving an existing design system
- Have strong visual design taste and care about the little details
- Are very Figma-fluent
- Are excited to try new AI tooling and fast prototyping approaches
- Love collaborating across product, engineering, and growth
- You have a long list of designers you follow on Twitter
- Save a notes folder or notion doc with your favorite portfolio/websites
- Have purchased perplexity.supply merch
- Have experience animating with Lottie, Rive, or After Effects
