Description
About the role You'll lead the team responsible for Gamma's visual editor and all creative outputs, owning how millions of users create, edit, and share presentations, documents, and websites.

You'll hold the team to a high bar for craft while keeping delivery moving.
Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.
