Soundstripe is a 6-time winner of the Tennessean’s Top Workplace Award and a </span><a href=\"https://www.greatplacetowork.com/certified-company/7079638\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">certified Great Place to Work</span></a><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">.

This is a player-coach role: you’ll own the design vision and do the work. You’ll report directly to the CTO and lead a small team (currently one staff designer focused on brand/marketing). The right person is product-design-primary with enough brand sensibility and experience to provide creative direction across both surfaces. If you believe beautiful aesthetics are typically indicative of overall product quality, you’ve found your people.</span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\"><br><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">We’re deeply AI-native as a company. It’s how we build and operate, how we design, and increasingly how our products work. We need a design leader who thinks in systems and sees AI as a force multiplier for design quality and velocity. If you’re looking for a role where you set the bar rather than inherit it, this is it.<br><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(46, 80, 144); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">🔥 Your Impact</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Product Experience &amp; Strategy</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Collaborate closely with the Directors of Product and Engineering to bring products to life, from ideation through execution and launch. Help drive strategy to meet and expand our customer base's needs as we grow Soundstripe</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Lead and drive strategically to solve customer problems and build solutions as we expand from B2C to B2B to B2E</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Own product design across our web platform and new product surfaces, from concept to shipped pixels</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Advocate for UX quality in product and leadership discussions. Be the voice of the customer in the room</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Creative Direction &amp; Brand</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Own the aesthetic and emotional identity of the Soundstripe brand in partnership with Marketing. You're the final word on whether something looks and feels like us</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Provide creative direction across product and brand/marketing design. You don't need to do all the brand work, but you set the standard</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Ensure brand and marketing surfaces drive engagement, awareness, and acquisition, not just look good</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Design Systems &amp; AI Tooling</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Lead and maintain our design system, including token-based components and Figma-to-code (and vice versa) workflows</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Think in systems, not just screens. Design tokens, component architecture, and scalable patterns that let a small team punch way above its weight, especially when paired with AI tooling</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Rethink design workflows with AI at the center. From Figma-to-code pipelines and automated/semi-automated asset generation, to using LLMs for UX research synthesis, spec writing, and prototyping. You'll be expected to lead AI adoption within design, not wait for engineering to hand you tools<br><br></span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(46, 80, 144); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">🧠 What You Bring</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Strong product design portfolio: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">you’ve shipped consumer or SaaS products and can show the thinking behind the result</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Experience leading design: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">you’ve been part of a small company or startup where you were both strategist and executor</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Comfort with brand and marketing design, even if product is your primary lane:</span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\"> at our scale, the lines blur</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Design systems experience: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">you’ve built or maintained component libraries and know how to bridge design and engineering</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Hands-on experience with: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Figma variables, design tokens, and LLM-powered code-generation workflows</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Strong communication and follow-through: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">you surface problems early, keep commitments, and don’t disappear into a design cave</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">Willingness to push back: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">you have opinions about what’s right for the user and you’ll defend them in the room, respectfully and directly</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold\">AI-native mindset: </span><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">you’ve already integrated AI into your design process (prototyping, research, asset generation, spec writing, whatever) and you have opinions about where it works and where it doesn’t. This isn’t a \"nice to have\": it’s core to how we operate</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Bonus points if you’ve worked with music, media, or creative tools, or if you’ve worked directly with a technical founder or CTO<br><br></span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(46, 80, 144); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">🌱 Why Soundstripe?</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">We’re an entrepreneurial, creative team</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Autonomy and ownership: your impact will be visible and celebrated</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Collaborative, flexible work environment</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Remote (US-based), with occasional in-person time in Nashville or other US state(s) for onsites and offsites a few times a year</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(26, 26, 26); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt\">Small, high-trust team.
