Application

Join us in redefining the creator economy with AI

Fanvue is one of the fastest-growing creator monetisation platforms globally. We’re an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $100M+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.

As Fanvue scales, Design becomes one of the highest leverage functions in the company. This role exists to raise the craft bar across the entire product, build a world-class design system, and help shape how millions of creators and fans experience Fanvue.

🎯 The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Design to define and lead Fanvue’s design function across product experience, UI quality, and design systems.

This is a senior leadership role with real ownership. You will set the design direction, build and develop a high-performing team, and partner closely with Product and Engineering to ship work that improves activation, conversion, and long-term retention. You will also help embed AI into how we design, prototype, and iterate, so the team moves faster without sacrificing quality.
