Senior Marketing Designer (W-2)
About Scaling.com & The Role
We're looking for a Senior Designer or Head of Design someone to build a team around. The role will begin with you wearing many hats but focusing on marketing assets like static ads and funnel design.
This is a early opportunity. You'll come in, learn our frameworks, and help shape our visual identity from the ground up. Eventually, you'll build a team around you as we scale. But right now, we're a start-up, everyone wears multiple hats and if that excites you more than it intimidates you, keep reading.

Scaling.com helps the top 1% of CEOs and founders build companies that scale... not just grow. We work with high-performing entrepreneurs who've already built something significant and are ready to (literally) 10x their impact .
Founded on the frameworks of Dr. Benjamin Hardy — organizational psychologist, bestselling author, and one of the most widely-read writers on Medium with over 100 million views. His book The Science of Scaling debuted as an instant New York Times bestseller, and his work has shaped how the world's top entrepreneurs think about growth, leadership, and transformation. Our Scaling Framework has helped thousands of founders and we are building a team that can take that global.
We create world-class content and we need world-class creative leadership to match.
The ideal person for this role is someone who's passionate, versatile, wants to be pushed, and sees the opportunity to grow with an early-stage company that's going to become an industry-defining force. We're not just hiring. We want to invest in you, deeply and professionally.
