Creative Lead

New York, NY

Based in NYC; hybrid work schedule with three days of required in-person collaboration expected.

Swayable is a fast-growing AI and automated data science platform that measures public opinion and the impact of messages and advertising content on it. We are a 40-person team backed by top technology and social impact investors, including Y Combinator. Founded in 2018 by physics PhDs, it is led by the former Executive Director for Digital Strategy at the New York Times. Clients include major consumer-facing brands (American Express, Airbnb, Paramount Pictures), technology companies (Anthropic, Meta, Amazon), academic researchers (MIT, Yale, Stanford) and mission-aligned civic advocacy campaigns (e.g. on climate, human rights and elections).

Joining Swayable means being on a team whose work changes the course of history.

About The Role:

The Creative Lead will own the visual identity and storytelling craft behind Swayable’s brand marketing materials. You’ll bring consistency, polish, and creative energy to everything we produce. At Swayable, creativity meets evidence. Our platform helps the world’s top brands and agencies understand what truly persuades people through science, data, and storytelling. The Creative Lead will bring that same spirit of curiosity and precision to our brand expression.

This is a hands-on, high-impact design role where you’ll translate research insights and data into clear, compelling visuals. From sales presentations and case studies to landing pages, event activations to social content, and video storytelling, you’ll ensure every touchpoint looks sharp, feels consistent, and reinforces our message: great creative should be tested, trusted, and backed by science.

This is not an agency art director or creative director role. You’ll design, edit, animate, and produce. You’ll collaborate with marketing, sales, and leadership teams to elevate how Swayable shows up across every medium, driving design systems, refining our brand voice, and producing short-form videos and motion graphics that make our ideas move.

This role is perfect for a mid-level designer or creative producer who’s ready to own the look and feel of a fast-growing SaaS brand, someone who thrives where design, data, and persuasion intersect.

What You’ll Do:

Design and Creative Leadership:

  • Develop and maintain a consistent visual and brand identity across all marketing channels.
  • Design high-impact presentations, case studies, white papers, one-pagers, and event materials.
  • Create engaging social media and digital ad assets aligned with campaign goals.
  • Support product marketing and sales enablement through well-designed collateral and visuals.

Digital + Video/Motion Design:

  • Edit and produce short-form videos (event recaps, case study highlights, product explainers).
  • Work within Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and/or leading video editing platforms (Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut Pro).
  • Design landing pages and visual assets for digital campaigns, ensuring responsive and high-conversion UX.

Collaboration & Process:

  • Partner with content writers, marketers, and sales leaders to bring ideas to life visually.
  • Manage creative timelines and asset delivery to keep marketing production moving fast.
  • Maintain a shared design system and asset library to accelerate content creation.

Who You Are:

  • 3–5 years of experience in design, motion graphics, or creative production (B2B or SaaS experience preferred).
  • Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere/After Effects).
  • Working knowledge of Figma, Canva, or similar web design tools.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling, layout design, and brand consistency.
  • Video editing and animation experience required.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.

Benefits:

  • 100% Medical, Dental & Vision Plans - no employee contribution required
  • Generous PTO
  • Equity Options
  • 401k plan, FSA
  • Ongoing professional development investments
  • Salary: $90,000 – $110,000/year, dependent on experience

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
