Head of Design presso Scaling.com

Description

About Scaling.com & The Role

We're looking for a Head of Design to join Scaling.com and own the creative direction of a brand positioned to define an industry.

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.

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.

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.

Requirements

What You'll Do

Creative Direction & Brand development

• Own and protect the Scaling.com brand — you'll be the gatekeeper of our visual identity
• Collaborate with the Executive Producer to develop and evolve our creative direction
• Establish design systems, guidelines, and standards that scale with us
• Bring an editorial, journalistic sensibility to everything we create — elevated, sophisticated, premium

Hands-On Execution

• Design high-converting static ads for paid channels — this is a significant portion of the role
• Build and design funnels, landing pages, and web experiences
• Provide art direction for motion graphics and video content
• Create miscellaneous assets: presentations, marketing collateral, and internal materials
• Support UI design needs as/if they arise

Requirements

• A strong portfolio demonstrating range — static ads, brand work, web/funnel design, marketing assets
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
• An editorial eye — you understand what makes design feel premium, not just functional
• Marketing instincts — you know what converts into clicks and why
• Ability to flex between projects: one day it's a Meta ad, the next it's a landing page
• Strong opinions, loosely held — you'll help define direction but collaborate openly
• Experience with GoHighLevel or similar funnel/page builders
• Experience with Lovable AI web design tool
• Background in UI/UX design
• Experience building or scaling a design function
• Familiarity with direct response marketing and performance creative

Who This Is For

✅ This role IS for someone who:

• Wants to define the creative identity of a company positioned to lead its industry
• Gets energized by building something new, not maintaining what exists
• Sees a startup environment as an opportunity

• Is hungry to grow 10 years in their career in the span of 1

❌ This role is NOT for someone who:

• Wants a predictable, slow-paced environment
• Prefers narrow specialization over wearing multiple hats
• Needs extensive hand-holding or isn't comfortable with autonomy
• Isn't excited by the idea of building systems and teams from the ground up

1. Walk us through your design career — where you started, what you've built, and what kind of work you've spent the most time doing.

2. Pick an ad or landing page you've created that performed well. What was your thinking behind the creative decisions, and why do you believe it converted?

3. What excites you about joining a fast-moving startup at this stage?

Required:
Submit your portfolio demonstrating static ad work, brand/identity projects, and any web/funnel design samples.
