We’ve officially launched our in-house marketing team and are looking for smart, creative, organized, and hardworking individuals to help us build from the ground up. We value people who take pride in their work, adapt quickly, and thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.

This role is best for a generalist designer, who can own design across all teams at Dripos. It is ideal for someone who wants to be part of a small, agile team, enjoys working cross-functionally, and is excited to make a real impact—while having fun along the way. We're looking for someone who can truly embody the Dripos brand and strike the right balance between speed and quality. Given the nature of a lean team, the ability to flex across other areas of marketing is a strong plus.

You’ll work closely with, and report directly to, the VP of Marketing.
