We power the builders behind every brand—an AI Revenue OS helping DTC teams grow smarter and faster. Now we’re hiring a founding designer to build it.

About Marklo

Marklo is the AI Revenue OS for modern commerce—helping lean DTC teams turn planning chaos into campaign clarity. From inventory-aware promos to cross-channel execution, our tools are built to give independent brands the power to grow like giants—without the headcount or overhead.

Our first product is a GTM Calendar with Campaign Intelligence, is a marketer’s control tower: a single canvas to plan, launch, and learn from every campaign. It uses AI to recommend what to run, when to run it, and how to launch it—all in one click.It learns from past campaigns and puts hinsight perofmrance metrics in one place.

We’re backed by top VCs like Forerunner and Freestyle, and angels from Shopify and Klaviyo. Our founder, Jessica Herrin (Stella & Dot, WeddingChannel.com), has built and scaled category-defining companies to billions in revenue.

Marklo isn’t just another SaaS tool. We’re building the operating system for a new kind of commerce—one that’s faster, smarter, and AI-native.

Why This Role Matters

We believe design is where AI becomes real for the user. As our Founding Product Designer, you'll define how intelligence becomes intuition—how logic becomes magic.

This is a zero-to-one role. You’ll invent new UX patterns for a product that doesn’t exist yet—where marketers collaborate with AI to drive revenue. Your work will touch every pixel of our interface and every heartbeat of our product.

This isn’t a job for someone who wants to color inside the lines. It’s for a builder who wants to draw the lines. Who sees Figma, Notion, and Cove.ai as inspiration—and wants to go further.

What You’ll Do

• Invent new UX paradigms where AI drives, but users feel in control
• Build the Smart Revenue Calendar from scratch, alongside the founder and early engineers
• Design for speed, clarity, and trust—making complex logic feel simple and powerful
• Prototype rapidly, test early, and iterate fast
• Create a scalable design system that balances precision with velocity
• Lead with empathy, always solving for real humans—DTC marketers, operators, and founders

Who You Are

You’re a high-craft designer with big ideas and bigger ambition. You thrive in ambiguity, crave ownership, and want to ship fast.

• 6+ years designing intuitive, elegant UX/UI in SaaS, productivity, or AI products
• Track record of launching 0→1 products and shaping core user flows
• Sharp product sense—you think in user outcomes, not just interface
• Bias toward speed and clarity; you simplify without dumbing down
• Comfortable working closely with engineering and founder
• Experience with AI/automation design is a strong plus

Why Join Marklo

• Define the user experience of a category-defining AI platform
• Work directly with the founder to shape product and company strategy
• Build something truly new, not iterate on what's already been done
• Join a high-talent, low-ego team that values velocity, vision, and craft
• Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and a rare chance to lead from day one
