Head of Design

Fanvue is one of the fastest-growing creator monetisation platforms globally. We’re an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale.

Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $100M+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth. We now support hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide, powering subscriptions, messaging, and AI-native creator tools across the platform.

As we scale into our next phase, design becomes a critical growth lever. We’re moving fast, shipping complex AI-powered features, and serving a global audience at massive scale. The Head of Design will play a defining role in shaping how Fanvue looks, feels, and works, setting the quality bar across product, brand, and AI experiences while building a design organisation that can scale with the business.

🎯 The Role

We are hiring a Head of Design to define and drive Fanvue’s end-to-end design vision.

This is a senior leadership role with real ownership. You will be responsible for elevating Fanvue’s product experience, rolling out a world-class design system, shaping our future-facing product vision, and ensuring design is a core driver of growth and strategy. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing and remain hands-on as a player-coach on the work that matters most.

• Help shape the Fanvue 3.0 product vision, bringing future-facing concepts to life

• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing design team

• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to align design with business outcomes
