Job Overview:
The Hustle has a community of builders who are hellbent on changing the world through business. We support their goals by providing business information, whether it’s the news, research, or insights.
We have numerous products that our community depends on everyday in business. Some of these include our Daily email with more than 1M subscribers, Trends, our research and insights publication, and Hustle Con, our flagship event.

About the company
The Hustle provides business information using our straightforward, no BS voice. We take complicated issues and explain them in a way that is smart, actionable, and if we do it right we may even make you laugh.
The first way we did this was by sending our Daily business email each morning. It’s our job everyday to tell them what news is important and why it matters to them. And, at just over 3 years old, we’re one of the fastest growing news outlets in the country with more than 1M active subscribers.
The next phase of our company was supporting our community with research and insights. Trends provides builders the analysis of what products they should be building and the insights on how to do it. We’ve built proprietary tools to help us discover the next great opportunity and built a team of analysts to break it down in a way that you understand and can take action.
It’s our belief that the future Bloombergs, Gartners, and other business information brands of the world (something we want to become) will need a mass community that loves them and products that solve niche problems. We’re on our way to making this a reality.
About the role
The Hustle has the attention of millions of people everyday through various formats. This role is responsible for creating the visuals that bring our brand to life when we have the attention of our audience. You’ll be creating assets for multiple formats such as our email, website, or paid advertising. This will allow you to work with every department to ensure our marketing materials, web assets, and email graphics all are consistent and enhance our brand further.
This role is our first graphic designer on staff and they will be a critical member of our growing product team.
