Brand Designer, Growth

We're looking for a Growth Brand Designer to sit at the intersection of brand craft and growth performance. You'll be the designer who makes Perplexity's highest-volume, highest-leverage marketing surfaces — paid ads, social, lifecycle email, and campaign assets — look unmistakably Perplexity while actually moving the numbers.

This is a shipping role, but it's equally a thinking role. Strategic concepting is a big part of the job: you'll sit with the Growth team as an ideator — generating campaign concepts, testing hypotheses, and shaping the creative strategy behind the work — not just executing briefs handed to you. The ideas you bring to the table matter as much as the assets you ship.

You'll produce a steady stream of ad and campaign creative across formats and channels, then work with Growth to read the results and iterate. You care about conversion and craft in equal measure: you'd never ship an off-brand asset to win a test, and you'd never hide behind polish when the data says a concept isn't working.

You'll report into the Brand/Creative Studio team and work closely with Growth, Product Marketing, Brand, and our motion and web designers.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Drive strategic concepting for growth campaigns — bring original ideas, angles, and creative territories to the table, and shape the brief rather than just receiving it

- Operate as a true ideation partner to the Growth team: co-develop campaign strategy, propose test hypotheses, and pitch concepts that open up new creative directions

- Own the design of growth creative end-to-end — paid social and display ads, campaign assets, and lifecycle email — from concept to shipped asset

- Design for volume and velocity: build variant sets, test hypotheses, and iterate on winners with the Growth team using real performance data

- Turn product launches and GTM campaigns into ad creative that lands on every channel it runs — static, animated, and everything in between

- Build and maintain scalable ad and email templates so high-frequency asset production stays fast and on-brand

- Partner with Brand to keep visual consistency across every growth touchpoint as our brand system evolves

- Collaborate with our motion designer and web designer so campaigns feel cohesive from the first ad impression to the landing page

- Bring a strong point of view on what makes performance creative great — and push back when a "best practice" would cheapen the brand

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- A strong portfolio of growth and brand design work — paid ads, social campaigns, lifecycle email, campaign systems — that shows both craft and results

- Proven strategic concepting ability: you can show campaigns where the idea was yours, not just the execution, and articulate the thinking behind them

- Excellent visual design skills with a clear sense of brand, typography, layout, and composition

- Hands-on experience designing performance creative at a consumer or prosumer tech company, including working directly with growth or performance marketing teams
