Job Expired

Job Overview:

Company Website: https://www.gravitysketch.com/
Remote Locations: US, UK
Job Type: Contract

Our team is on a mission to revolutionize the way we bring ideas to life and fundamentally change the way 3D design is done today. We help design teams to create and communicate 3D ideas in the quickest and most intuitive way possible. We’ve developed the first end-to-end 3D design platform that allows teams to carry out work from the early phases of the design process all the way through to hand-off for production. The tools we have developed are changing the way companies across automotive, industrial design, and entertainment industries carry out their day-to-day work. The platform is helping teams deliver more creative outputs, foster better collaboration, and compress products’ time to market resulting in a much more sustainable product development process. The platform offers VR, tablet, and web-based applications allowing users to bring the tools seamlessly into their workflow. Cross-discipline teams at companies such as Ford Motor Company and Adidas depend on the platform to collaborate and deliver world-class products both physical and digital. Being highly skilled in the use of Gravity Sketch is important for new hires in industry leaders such as Adidas/Yeezy, sitting alongside tools like Adobe’s Photoshop.

We have 4x our revenue and 5x our user base in the last year
~1.5 million app downloads (most of which was in the last 18 months)

Our Team & Culture

We’re a lean but ambitious team of ~70 spread across the globe (UK, Europe & North America). We may be geographically spread out, but we’re tied by our mission to radically change how teams communicate ideas spatially and expressively from anywhere.

Our focus is on output and getting the work done, not counting the hours you work. We appreciate that everyone has their own optimum setup, and so provide flexibility in terms of when and where you get work done.

Impact, ownership and being part of our team on a mission

are at the heart of our culture. We encourage everyone to experiment, bring new ideas to the table, and challenge one another in order to arrive at the best solutions for our users. Trustis another fundamental, which is echoed through autonomy of our work. We rely on each other to be resourceful, make decisions quickly, give honest feedback, ask for help, or do whatever needs to be done in order to make a positive impact on the team, users, or business.

We are all learning as we build this business and find that with each new addition to the team our ambition grows. We look for teammates that wish to grow with us on the journey; we value individuals with a curiosity to learn and eagerness to take initiative, following through on the work we initiate. Innovation day takes place every month, creating space to focus on an innovative passion project (something that would be cool for users).

We work hard, and know how to have fun too; with company trips, socials, sports, gaming sessions and more. We welcome you to share your hobbies with the team so we can all try something new!

About the role

We’re looking for a growth-minded and creative VP of Marketing. So far, the growth we’ve experienced has been primarily product led: a strong community of professional users using the free version of the product has eventually brought this new way of designing into their professional workplace.

We have a lot of foundational assets in place: over 1 million downloads, 100k MAUs, a 50k strong active Instagram community, some of the largest brands in the world as customers (Adidas, Ford, Volkswagen Group, etc) who talk about us, and a user base who proactively reach out to engage with us. However, we’ve yet to build a marketing team and strategy to leverage these assets and take the growth and success of the business to the next level.

Reporting into the CEO, you’ll be part of the leadership team with significant Board exposure, and have the autonomy and ownership to define what our marketing playbook looks like, and build out the team to successfully deliver impact.
