Marketing Designer

Pylon•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We’re looking for a Marketing Designer who can own the look and feel of Pylon across every channel - and move fast. This isn’t a “make things pretty” role. You’ll be the creative engine behind our brand and growth marketing: translating briefs and performance insights into compelling design, directing an external production agency for video and motion assets, and jumping in yourself when we need sharp static creative turned around quickly. Your scope spans the full marketing surface area including paid campaigns, website and landing pages, product marketing collateral, sales enablement, and event materials. You’ll be the primary steward of our brand guidelines and the person who ensures everything Pylon puts out looks like it came from the same confident, coherent company.

Requirements

4+ years of experience in marketing and/or brand design, ideally at a B2B tech company or fast-moving agency
A portfolio that shows range: brand identity and campaign work alongside editorial and sales enablement materials (decks, one-pagers, ebooks)
Proven experience managing or directing an external creative agency or freelancers, with strong feedback and communication skills
Skilled at collaborating cross-functionally with growth, product marketing, and sales teams to translate business needs into design
Expert in Figma; proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
You’re fast. You can ship a high-quality static asset in a few hours when the team needs it
You identify design needs independently, structure your own priorities, and lead projects from brief to delivery without being managed closely
Comfortable presenting creative decisions to stakeholders and pushing back when needed

Nice To Haves

Experience building or evolving a brand design system or component library
Motion design, video editing, or GIF production skills
Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and a curiosity to experiment
Background at an early-stage or growth-stage B2B SaaS company
