About us
We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.
📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.
💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.
💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.
💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.
About the role
You'll lead and grow Gamma's design team during a pivotal moment in the company's trajectory. As we scale from 70 million users to hundreds of millions, you'll shape the craft, culture, and systems that define how people experience our product. This role combines hands-on design leadership with people management, requiring someone who can both elevate the work and develop the team.
You'll manage a team of 4 designers, scaling to 7-8 in the coming months. You'll recruit world-class talent, build the processes and rituals that enable great work, and set the standard for craft across the product. You'll also be a player-coach, jumping in to design critical projects when the team needs your expertise. Most importantly, you'll build the connective tissue between design, engineering, and product, ensuring we ship work that's both beautiful and built to scale.
Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.
What you'll do
- Manage and grow a team of 4 designers, scaling to 7-8 as we expand product scope and user needs
- Recruit exceptional design talent who can raise the bar for craft, systems thinking, and collaboration
- Build and refine team processes that balance speed with quality, from critiques to design reviews to cross-functional collaboration
- Jump in as a player-coach to design critical features and set the quality standard across the product
- Elevate craft across visual design, interaction design, and prototyping, ensuring every detail reflects Gamma's brand
- Partner closely with product and engineering to align on priorities, resolve tradeoffs, and ship work that users love
What you'll bring
- 5+ years in design roles with at least 2 years managing and developing design teams
- Track record of recruiting and retaining top-tier design talent at fast-growing companies
- Portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft in consumer or prosumer product design
- Experience building team processes that scale without sacrificing quality or creativity
- Player-coach mindset with the ability to design high-impact projects while managing a team
- Strong cross-functional partnership skills with product managers and engineers (Nice to have)
Compensation range:
$200K - $350K, plus competitive equity.

Life at Gamma
🤝 You’ll fit right in if…
- You get energy from small teams doing big things.
- You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
- You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.
- You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
- You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
- You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
- You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
- You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.
💙 Who we are
Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.
We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.
💬 Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:
We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:
- "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
- "You can have an idea and just run with it."
- "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."
- "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
