Job description

Cloud is now one of the biggest business expenses and one of the hardest to manage. At Finout, we’re not just shedding light on spend—we’re giving companies the power to make smarter, faster, and more strategic decisions about the cloud. We’re trusted by brands like The New York Times, Wiz, Elastic, SiriusXM, and Lyft, and backed by top-tier investors with over $85M raised. In just 4 years, we’ve grown to 100+ people across Tel Aviv and New York—and we’re just getting started. If you’re looking to build something big, solve real problems, and grow fast -we’d love to meet you. Finout is the leading Cloud Cost Management platform, helping the world's most innovative companies understand, manage, and optimize their cloud spend. We move fast, build things that matter, and believe AI isn't a feature of how we work — it's the foundation. The Creative & Marketing Design team is at the heart of how Finout shows up in the world — from brand campaigns to the entire marketing asset engine. We're looking for an AI Design Lead to guide this team forward, reporting to the Head of Design. Your core mission: drive efficiency — using AI to streamline how the team works, so we produce more, faster, at a higher bar.. We're looking for someone who is first and foremost exceptional with AI, builds strategic AI-native workflows, and pairs that with a high design bar and true ownership. This is a hands-on leadership role — you lead through craft, systems, and direction rather than direct people management. It's for a designer-builder who doesn't just use AI tools — they architect the systems that make an entire team faster, sharper, and more creative. ABOUT THE ROLE - Own team efficiency as a primary goal: identify friction across the design workflow and re-engineer it with AI — cutting production time, automating repetitive work, and measurably increasing the team's output - Own AI strategy for design: standardize and scale Gen-AI automation across workflows, with deep hands-on work in Weavy - Lead the creative direction and day-to-day execution of the Creative & Marketing Design team — setting the quality bar, guiding the work, and driving high-craft output, in partnership with and reporting to the Head of Design - Take full end-to-end accountability for the marketing design board — weekly prioritization, task coordination across the team, and eliminating pipeline bottlenecks - Build scale infrastructure: reusable web components, templates, brand pipelines, and self-serve marketing asset libraries - Act as the strategic contact for Marketing — locking scope and timelines, owning large brand–product alignment initiatives, and staying deeply connected to marketing strategy - Drive innovation and insight: competitor design analysis, fresh industry trends, creative growth campaigns that impact ARR, and performance tracking (engagement, bounce rates, user testing) for marketing assets REQUIREMENTS - 8+ years of design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft across brand, marketing, and digital design - Proven, hands-on mastery of AI design tools and workflows — prompt engineering, generative pipelines, automation. Experience with Weavy is a must - A track record of driving efficiency: you've used AI to rebuild work processes and can show the impact — faster turnaround, higher output, less manual work - Proven experience leading design work in a lead or principal capacity — setting direction, coordinating team boards, and raising the bar for others through influence and craft rather than formal management - Strong systems thinking: you've built templates, component libraries, or self-service systems that scaled output without scaling headcount - Experience partnering directly with marketing teams — you understand funnels, campaigns, and how creative drives growth and business impact - Data fluency: comfortable tracking creative performance metrics and running user testing - Deep proficiency in Figma and the broader design toolset (motion, prototyping, print/digital production) - Strong communication skills; you articulate design and AI-strategy decisions with clarity to stakeholders at every level - Academic background in graphic design, visual communication, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated expertise; high autonomy in a fast-paced environment WHAT FINOUT CAN OFFER YOU - A rare opportunity to build an AI-native design organization from the inside — not adapt to one, define it - Direct impact: your systems and your team's work reach every touchpoint of a fast-growing global brand - A collaborative, ownership-driven culture where designers sit at the strategy table with Marketing and Product - Hybrid work from our Tel-Aviv office with a team that genuinely loves the craft OUR VALUES [https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/5b63edf3-ee2f-4601-8842-e7d5682dd788/ed740e71-5733-4f21-a82f-3398d76ebab7/Values5.png] We're a hybrid company with a big vision and a startup soul.
