Designer – Slack, San Francisco, CA
Slack is hiring a Designer to help us tell the world about Slack through thoughtfully crafted content, engaging experiences, and end-to-end campaigns. You’ll be joining a dynamic group of designers, artists, and writers on our Design team to build awareness of the Slack brand and product benefits. Designers serve a vital role here—from the craft and finish of every detail on our high-traffic public-facing websites, to designing the look and feel of multiple customer-facing touchpoints. We appreciate designers who think deeply, speak clearly, and love collaboration and feedback. You will partner with a cross-functional team of designers, copywriters, developers, and marketing managers to build user-focused work across our digital marketing channels. Experience designing for email, social, and web is key—it’s an added bonus if you have animation knowledge to really bring your work to life. The ideal candidate for this role is proactive, willing to help out on any project, and is passionate about collaborating and learning from the other creative team members. The position will report to the Design Director.
Slack has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day. In our work together we aim to be smart, humble, hardworking and, above all, collaborative. If this sounds like a good fit for you, why not say hello?
