Job description

StartupEdge is growing its creative team and needs a warm-yet-rigorous Product Designer to lead the next wave of campaigns from New Orleans. If 1 years of Affinity Diagramming sits behind you, StartupEdge offers $41,000 - $61,000, a temporary setup, and a ladder worth climbing.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with copywriters to align visuals with messaging and tone
• Curate and art-direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
• Craft layouts, typography, and imagery that elevate the StartupEdge experience
• Choreograph photo shoots in New Orleans from shot list to retouched selects
• Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces
• Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline
• Grow a scrappy Service Design toolkit into a documented system the next hire inherits
• Borrow structure from film editing to fix a Service Design sequence that drags

What You'll Bring

• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• Ability to learn new creative systems quickly and apply them effectively
• Familiarity with StartupEdge-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Comfort being accountable for a flexible outcome in a temporary role
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• Hands-on command of Adobe Photoshop, with Affinity Diagramming as a close second

Think of StartupEdge as the documentation-first engine behind some of the most trusted creative products on the market. Ownership runs deep here: you'll own outcomes, not just tasks, from your first week as a Product Designer.
