Today, marketing is stitched together from outdated software, enrichment tools, and disconnected workflows. Funnels are broken. Messaging is misaligned. Most teams are flying blind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eWe’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eWe’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eWe’re a lean, high-performing team in San Francisco.

This 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eWe work in a very competitive space with legacy incumbents (HubSpot, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eWith that being said, here\u2019s what we are looking for in our first designer:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eHigh 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 — LinkedIn banners, company merch, etc. — is a bonus.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eA strong understanding of our product. I don\u2019t 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.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"min-height:1.5em\"\u003eFigma-fluent.
