About Edgar Allan

‍

Edgar Allan is a strategy, design, and product agency that builds products with purpose, blending verbal and visual storytelling, user experience, and technology to craft meaningful digital experiences.

‍

We have a story-first perspective, super-collaborative cross-disciplinary process, and pretty darn high standards. You’ll be working at the forefront of a rapidly changing and expanding space. All in all, we do fun, big-impact, mostly exciting stuff.

‍

We’re a solid twelve years old as a company, and we’ve built a business based on calm practices and a no-drama vibe. EA is mid-sized (about 45 folks), with a cross-continental team (US | Europe | Argentina | South Africa) driven by craft, autonomy, and the thrill of building something from zero. A team of strategists, designers, and developers working globally and collaboratively. We love good stories, strong coffee, and making the web a more human place.

‍

The Role:

‍

We’re looking for a visionary creative leader who uses technology as a canvas, AI as a collaborator, and storytelling as the core to deliver thoughtful, personalized, and unforgettable digital experiences. You will lead concepting, design, and execution of cutting-edge digital experiences. From interactive websites to immersive brand storytelling, you’ll drive creative innovation that helps take brands to a new level while keeping teams and clients aligned on bold, tech-driven visions.

‍

What You’ll Do:

‍

Drive the creative vision for digital experiences that merge storytelling with cutting-edge technology.
Use AI for rapid prototyping, personalization, and scalable creative outputs to deliver considered, user-first experiences.
Lead multidisciplinary teams across experience design, content strategy, and development, fostering innovation and collaboration.
Partner directly with clients to shape strategy, present bold concepts, and ensure solutions align with business goals and result in successful delivery.
Champion Figma (native-level expertise) and Webflow to bridge design and development with precision and speed.
Constantly explore and integrate new technologies and design methodologies to elevate creative impact.

‍

Must-Haves:

8+ years in digital creative leadership with a strong portfolio in storytelling, animation, and interactive design.
Deep expertise in Figma and hands-on experience in Webflow.
Strong track record of integrating AI and emerging technologies into creative processes.
Excellent leadership and client-facing communication skills.

‍

Who you are:

‍

Autonomous: You thrive with ownership and deliver results without hand-holding.
Collaborative: Strong written communication, you sync up clearly and asynchronously.
User-Obsessed: You balance data-driven decisions with empathy for end users.‍
Curious: You keep up with evolving best practices in JavaScript, Webflow, and AI.

What It’s Like Here

‍

Remote-first and people-first.
A variety of client work: quick iterations, deep storytelling builds, and everything in between.
Cross-functional collaboration is part of every day.
We value curiosity, kindness, and clarity.
You’ll work with some of the best brand strategists, designers, and thinkers in the game.
