Senior Graphic Designer / Full Time / Paid
London UK

It will be a mix of production and creative concepting and execution for our global campaigns and events, marketing initiatives, and internal programs.
Role Details
Yext (NYSE: YEXT) is building the next big thing in AI search, and the next big thing is answers.
With the explosion of information and data online, search has never been more important. However, while the world of consumer search has innovated over time, enterprise search has not. In fact, the majority of enterprise search is powered by outdated keyword technology that only scans for keywords and delivers a list of hyperlinks rather than actually answering questions. Yext, the AI Search Company, offers a modern, AI-powered Answers Platform that understands natural language so that when people ask questions about a business online they get direct answers – not links.
We have a big, audacious mission to transform the enterprise with AI search. To achieve that, we need bright minds and diverse perspectives to join our growing company and help us continue to disrupt an industry. Does this sound like you?
The Yext Creative Studio is a fun, hardworking, fast-paced, strategic, and growing creative agency within the Marketing team of a fast-paced and innovative AI search technology company. We believe that creative teams do so much more than make things “look pretty” and we work hard to deliver wildly strategic and creative solutions that continue to elevate and showcase our brand to the world. We support the entire company and work diligently to improve the manner in which our content, websites, thought leadership, blogs, print materials, brand campaigns, social media, and videos introduce customers, prospects, partners, and talent to Yext’s platform, solutions, and culture.
