Job description

Fireflies.ai is the leading AI teammate for meetings, trusted by more than 20 million users across over 500,000 organizations, from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Fireflies captures knowledge, automates repetitive work, and helps teams become more productive before, during, and after every meeting. Fireflies has achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. In 2024, Ramp recognized Fireflies as the sixth most popular AI platform by number of paying customers, alongside companies including OpenAI, Midjourney, and Anthropic. There is a good chance you have already seen Fireflies quietly powering one of your recent meetings. We're hiring an Ad Designer to become the dedicated creative engine behind our Meta, Instagram, and social ad output. Today, ad turnaround runs through founders and the design lead directly — every cricket-sponsorship creative, every carousel, every quick test. We want that to change: someone who can own the full loop from "here's an insight" to "here are 10 variations live and being tested," in hours, not days. This isn't a "make it look nice" role. It's for someone who thinks like a marketer first — who can sit inside Meta Ads Manager, form a real opinion about why an ad is or isn't working, and turn that opinion into the next creative before being asked. What you'll do: • Design high-performing ad creative for Meta, Instagram, and other paid social channels — statics, carousels, and short-form video assets • Take one working ad and rapidly produce 10+ variations (copy, colour, format, hook) to keep testing and scaling what performs • Handle basic video clipping - repurposing raw founder/event/product footage into short-form social and ad-ready clips • Live inside Meta Ads Manager : track performance, study competitors and industry trends, and use that data to decide what to design next • Turn around carousels and quick-test creative in hours, not days - speed is part of the job, not a nice-to-have • Partner directly with founders and the marketing/design team on messaging, testing hypotheses, and creative direction • Own visual execution end-to-end, concept to shipped ad , without needing a designer to be looped in on every asset • Build a reusable system of ad templates and winning formats so output scales without reinventing each brief Who we're looking for: • You think like a marketer who designs, not a designer who makes ads look nice. You have a real opinion on what copy will land, what colours will work, what visual stops the scroll, and what makes a value prop instantly understandable. • A portfolio or reel that shows live, shipped ad creative - ideally with a sense of what performed and why, not just concept work • Strong graphic design fundamentals: layout, colour, typography, and an instinct for what gets attention on Meta/IG • Comfort with basic video editing/clipping for short-form social and ad placements • A bias for speed and iteration - you'd rather ship 10 variants of something that's already working today than polish one thing for a week • Real experience close to performance advertising - you've run ad accounts yourself, or worked tightly enough with founders/marketers to understand what the data is telling you • Ability to work quickly, communicate clearly over Slack, and overlap with US Pacific or European working hours Strong plus: You've personally run or scaled an ad account, an Instagram page, or a creator/brand page from scratch — we'd rather see that than an agency résumé. We're also widening our aperture beyond typical SaaS design: backgrounds in luxury, fashion, entertainment, sports, hospitality, or agency work are all welcome. Portfolio beats pedigree. How to apply Send us: • Your portfolio or reel of ad creative • One ad you designed that performed well - and your read on why it worked • Your typical turnaround time for a quick-turn carousel or ad variation set What matters to us: • You're a strong communicator and contribute positively to the team • You take ownership and have an internal compass • You value candid feedback and overcommunication • You care about quality and design, while keeping things simple • You measure your impact and look for ways to improve and automate • You're comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and getting a little better every week • You're customer-focused and care about the end result, not just the output • You value fast, incremental ways of working Perks & benefits: • Competitive compensation • Work remotely from anywhere in your respective country • Flexible working hours • Paid time off and flexible leave policy • Ability to move laterally within the team and grow quickly • No-boss culture • LGBTQ+ friendly workplace • Company offsites • Tech reimbursements About Fireflies.ai : At Fireflies.ai , we're changing how teams use AI in their daily work.
