- ### **About Us**
Mage Legal is an AI-native legal technology company building core infrastructure for M&A, PE, and corporate legal teams. We operate with a small, talent-dense team and are expanding as adoption accelerates inside law firms and funds. Our focus is simple: build AI systems attorneys actually trust on live deals.
### **The Role**
As our **Founding Designer**, you’ll own the visual design and user experience across Mage Legal’s marketing surface area and product-adjacent workflows. You’ll work directly with the founder to shape how sophisticated legal buyers discover, evaluate, and trust Mage Legal—from first touch to active use.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll design, iterate, and ship quickly. No bloated process, no endless reviews—just tight feedback loops and real impact.
### **What You’ll Do**
- Design high-credibility marketing pages, landing pages, and web experiences tailored to legal and PE audiences.
- Create product-adjacent experiences (demos, onboarding flows, workflow previews) that communicate trust, rigor, and clarity.
- Design email templates, outbound assets, and other GTM touchpoints used in founder-led sales and partnerships.
- Collaborate directly with the CEO and engineering to translate product and business goals into clear visual systems.
- Run rapid iteration cycles informed by usage, conversion, and qualitative customer feedback.
- Help define and evolve Mage Legal’s brand identity and design system as the company scales.
### **What We’re Looking For**
- Strong portfolio showcasing landing pages, B2B SaaS marketing sites, or high-trust product experiences.
- Excellent judgment around clarity, hierarchy, and credibility—especially for professional or enterprise users.
- Understanding of conversion-focused and adoption-focused design principles.
- HTML/CSS knowledge or willingness to learn; comfortable collaborating closely with engineering.
- Data-informed mindset: you care about what works and iterate based on signal, not taste.
- Comfortable operating independently in an early-stage environment with minimal design infrastructure.
- Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco.
### **Nice to Have**
- Experience designing for legal, fintech, dev tools, or other high-stakes professional software.
- Familiarity with AI-native products or LLM-driven workflows.
- Front-end development experience.
### **About the Interview**
- Screening call with **Raffi Isanians, CEO**
- Take-home assessment
- On-site interview
This role is based **in person in San Francisco, CA** (not remote).
