About the role

The role

You'll own everything the outside world sees from Elayne: the website, campaigns, sales materials, and social presence that win families and attorneys, plus the moments of delight inside the product that make it feel premium.

Please note: This is not a product design role. You won't own flows, wireframes, or UX research. You'll make the visual layer that sells the company and polishes the product, and you'll have real ownership of both.

The problem

We're building a new category: software families use during the hardest weeks of their lives, and attorneys trust with their clients. The visual bar is unusual: warm enough for grief, precise enough for lawyers, premium enough that people trust us with everything.

What you’ll build

  • Web and landing pages that convert: families, attorneys, partners, each with their own register
  • Campaign and sales materials: decks, one-pagers, attorney-facing PDFs, email graphics, event collateral, reusable templates the team runs on daily
  • Motion and social: product walkthroughs, short-form clips, launch assets that make complex workflows instantly clear
  • Moments of delight in the product: icons, illustrations, empty states, confirmation moments, lightweight animation

What you’ll bring

  • You've designed for GTM: marketing sites, campaigns, or sales enablement, and you can talk about what the work was for, not just how it looks
  • Strong fundamentals: typography, hierarchy, color, composition, and the discipline to keep them consistent across many surfaces
  • Excellent in Figma; Framer or Webflow a plus, motion tools (After Effects, Rive, Lottie) a strong plus
  • You use AI as leverage to explore and produce faster, but the final work feels careful and human
  • You ship fast without letting the bar drop

Location and benefits

Full-time, in New York City with the team. Equity, health insurance, and 401(k) included.

About Elayne

The last unautomated financial event in American life is death. $3-4 trillion moves to the next generation every year through faxes, phone trees, spreadsheets, and mail. It takes families hundreds of hours, tens of thousands of dollars in fees, and often years to complete.

Elayne is building the software layer this process has always been missing. Families use us directly; attorneys and institutions plug into the same record, and we automate everything from the first form to the final account transfer. That includes IRS-credentialed discovery: we pull authoritative transcript data through direct government integration, then resolve it against records from banks, bureaus, and courts into a single source-linked estate record. We're one of only a small handful of companies with this direct access.

Backed by Y Combinator and Accel, we have thousands of families already using Elayne through one of the hardest stretches of their lives. We have a real product in people's hands, a mission we care deeply about, and a long road of hard problems that actually matter.
