Senior Marketing Designer

Clearstory is hiring for a vital member of the marketing team and for the company.  We’re seeking a Graphic Designer eager to create compelling assets for our marketing, sales, product, and executive teams. We just underwent a name change and rebrand over the last several months and are excited for a graphic designer to join our team to take our brand to new heights. The list of responsibilities at a start-up, as you know, is nearly endless, and we want someone who is excited to work across a number of mediums.  This means creating graphics, short product videos, advertising assets, published content, and presentations for our sales and digital marketing programs. 

The Clearstory customer lives in the real world of commercial and heavy civil construction (think airports, skyscrapers, stadiums, etc.), deals with people face to face, and doesn’t care about pop culture or marketing-speak. His or her tireless work is critical to the success of major construction projects across the country, and they only have time to connect with businesses that help them get their job done. Designing for this persona is challenging and also extremely rewarding because they are as dedicated as any customer you could imagine.

We believe in work-life balance, but at this stage of our company, it is critical that we have in-person collaboration. This role is 3 days a week at our office in Walnut Creek and two flex days where you can come in or work from home. We understand that this doesn’t suit everyone and may make some fantastic applicants sadly, not a fit. 

Responsibilities 

• Design assets that are engaging and clean, with a consistent look and feel across vehicles that adhere to well established brand guidelines
• Manage multiple projects on an assigned timeline using a project management tool (Wrike)
• Work hand in hand with our senior copywriter, head of marketing and team to execute our content strategy
• Collaborate with partners across the organization, including marketing, sales, and product management
• Organize and manage all source assets in our CMS
• Maintain brand identity and guidelines for use company-wide

Things you will be doing

• Creating web and PDF customer story assets
• Basic video editing of customer testimonial videos and others
• Design of new web and landing pages in Figma (Figma experience is a must have)
• Basic updating of our website hosted by Hubspot
• Update Google Slide presentations for CS, Sales and company presentations
• Create social media and ad campaign images for Linkedin, Facebook, and Instagram
• Design the layout and imagery for marketing emails
• Design company swag and trade show marketing materials
• Combine custom graphics, images, and product visuals into deal-closing collateral
• How-to guides, ebooks, case studies, infographics and one-pagers 
• Assist with art direction alongside an agency for featured customer story videos

The Company You’ll Join

Clearstory is digitizing and automating the change order process inside the commercial construction industry.

Just as TurboTax did for tax documents and Expensify did for receipts and expense reports, Clearstory is doing the same for change order communication and log management by building first-of-its-kind, category defining software that is revolutionizing the commercial construction industry. We have no current competitors, so it’s an exciting time to join the effort.

The construction industry is being transformed fast by technology, but the way companies communicate costs hasn’t evolved in decades and still heavily relies on carbon copy paper, spreadsheets and email to track billions of dollars. These arcane manual processes can take days or weeks and include hours of manual office tasks such as scanning, manually transcribing, and tedious data-entry into spreadsheets.

At Clearstory we are changing that and creating a new category  “change order communication,” by intelligently digitizing this age-old process. This leads to an increase in profits, more successful contractor to customer relationships, more transparency into a project’s true cost, and less wasted paper! 

We are a Series A 100% SaaS company with impressive credentials for a company at our stage.

The Team You’ll Be Surrounded By

In addition to experienced SaaS and product leaders, our team has over 60 years of combined experience in the commercial construction space. At Clearstory we know our customer’s pain points and challenges first hand and have built a category defining product that serves the user first.

We also have a world class Board of Directors with an incredible pedigree around building category defining companies as well as some of the most SaaS experience around.
