Design Lead - Marketing at Wispr Flow

At Wispr Flow, we're building voice intelligence that truly understands you. Our team of designers, AI researchers, and engineers is crafting voice interfaces that are both useful and ubiquitous, paving the way for a future where voice-first experiences replace screen-first technologies.

Our first product, Flow, has become the first consumer voice dictation platform that makes people want to use voice more than their keyboards. And we're just getting started.

We've raised $26M from top-tier VCs like NEA and 8VC. Our angels and advisors include Chester Chipperfield (product lead for the first Apple Watch), Arash Ferdowsi (CTO, Dropbox), and Will Ahmed (CEO, Whoop). Our founders are Stanford alums and have previously sold a company and run a team at a deep tech startup with over 100M in funding.

As the Design Lead for Marketing at Wispr, you’ll bring a dexterous mix of design strategy and design execution skills, a strong sense of taste and attention to detail, and a keen understanding of what creative approaches are most effective across the funnel, for paid and organic growth.

Marketing at Wispr exists to inspire adoption, drive engagement, and cultivate advocacy, turning our product into an indispensable tool for the world’s creators, solopreneurs, and beyond. We create clarity through powerful storytelling. Every campaign, asset and interaction we design is aimed at helping users realize their potential with greater ease and efficiency. We build awareness, trust and demand that fuels the growth of Wispr. We think big, execute hard and collaborate with product and engineering teams at every step of our shared journey.
