Head of Brand Design

Job description

COME JOIN US AT INTRO Intro is growing our team of amazing people who are on a mission to give everyone access to anyone, empowering each other to create a better world. Intro started in 2022 by first building a tool for the world’s top founders and experts, enabling their audiences from all over the world to be able to access them, jump on a live video call, and get personalized advice. We were (and still are) grateful to see that it was an INSTANT hit. Today, we have over 20k five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews, and the founders of Reddit, Zillow, Sweetgreen, DryBar, and 1k+ more all became partners, as well as advocates of our product, company, and mission. We then launched a marketplace, chat, subscriptions, and more, each leading to faster growth. We’re just getting started — the Intro of tomorrow will look very different than the Intro of today. In fact, we’re confident that Intro will become the go-to network for access, knowledge, and…(we can’t say the last part just yet), all over the world. If you’re interested in joining an amazing company that is growing (fast), loved by its users, and deeply cares about quality, we’d love to meet you.

We’ll ask questions like “what do you imagine your life looking like if you achieved all of your goals” and “why are those goals important to you?” Once we identify these, they become our goals and we will work together to help make them a reality. Next, we’ll ask you about things that matter to you in the short term. These could be things like a gym membership, meditation classes, or an allowance to attend concerts. It’s an open ended exercise and we’ll come up with a perks package that makes you feel valued. Please note, we cannot yet buy you a ticket on a SpaceX rocket. It’s been asked!
