Job description

Join us in redefining the creator economy with AI

Fanvue is the fastest-growing creator monetisation platform in the creator economy. We are the leading AI-powered creator-first platform, designed to empower creators worldwide to directly monetise their audience. We’re on a mission to redefine the creator economy by empowering creators to connect, share, and earn more efficiently.

Design at Fanvue

Design is central to Fanvue’s mission. We’re building products for millions of creators and fans worldwide, experiences that must be powerful and intuitive, inspiring and frictionless. At Fanvue, design also shapes how users interact with AI: from intelligent tools that help creators grow, to seamless integrations that feel human and natural. As Head of Design, you’ll lead the charge in defining not only how our platform looks and feels, but also how AI is experienced by creators and their audiences.

The Role

We’re looking for a Head of Design to define and drive the design vision for Fanvue. You’ll shape the experience for millions of creators and their fans, set the standard for our brand’s visual identity, and build a world-class design organisation. You’ll have a seat at the leadership table, working alongside Product, Engineering, and Marketing leaders to ensure design is a driver of growth, strategy, and cultural impact. This is both a strategic and hands‑on role, equal parts player and coach, where your work will be pivotal in creating beautiful, intuitive products that delight users and define the future of the creator economy.

What You’ll Do

• Own and execute the end‑to‑end design strategy across all Fanvue products.
• Define how AI‑powered features are experienced by users — making them intuitive, accessible, and delightful.
• Deliver a cohesive, high‑quality user experience across the platform.
• Build, mentor, and scale a high‑performing design team.
• Foster a culture of excellence, creativity, and continuous learning.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to align design with company goals.
• Lead by example as a hands‑on contributor on key projects.
• Maintain an uncompromising bar for craft, usability, and user‑centric thinking.

Who You Are

• An exceptional designer with mastery across typography, interaction, and visual design.
• Deep understanding of fundamentals like hierarchy, layout, colour theory, and micro‑interactions.
• Empathetic to users, skilled at translating complex needs into simple, effective solutions.
• Able to connect design vision directly to business growth and measurable outcomes.
• A proven leader who inspires and mentors teams to achieve excellence.
• A strong communicator and collaborator, effective across Product, Engineering, and Marketing.

✨ You’ll Thrive Here If

• You love owning design vision and raising the bar for craft.
• You balance strategy with hands‑on execution.
• You’re motivated by building and scaling teams, not just products.
• You see design’s role in AI as transformative and want to shape how millions of people experience it.
• You thrive in a culture of speed, experimentation, and autonomy.

⚠️ You’ll Struggle Here If

• You prefer a narrow focus instead of owning the full design spectrum.
• You’re uncomfortable leading both strategy and execution.
• You lack the resilience to adapt quickly in a fast‑moving startup.

Why Join Fanvue?

• Named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025
• Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package
• Chance to build and lead a design organisation at scale, with influence at the leadership level
• Work with a talented, mission‑driven team dedicated to empowering creators worldwide
• A culture that values innovation, ownership, transparency, and speed
• Unlimited holiday
• Remote working
