Launch Potato is a profitable startup studio that incubates and launches mobile and web companies on our proprietary technology stack.

This position would work on a product that is already existing under the LP umbrella and optimally poised for high growth over the next year.

We are building teams that can solve complex issues in product development, engineering, creative, and data science. If that doesn't sound fun to you, you won't like it here.

 

This is an amazing opportunity to be personally responsible for creating— in priority order— high-response banners, landing pages and emails in a comprehensive marketing strategy that utilizes (already proven) engaging content and best in direct response marketing techniques.

You’ll be responsible for the entire design and development process, take ownership of a project from start to finish, and deliver clean, compliant code.

Among your core responsibilities will be taking Photoshop comps and building them out into functional banner ads, websites, or email creatives.

Knowledge of and being extremely comfortable with both the latest HTML and CSS development trends is a must, along with the ability to identify and creatively resolve coding challenges.

You'll also be creating your own designs from scratch, ranging from online banner campaigns to email creative that render beautifully across ISPs and devices.

You’d work directly with the Chief Creative Officer via Slack, Asana, and Google Hangouts and actively communicate with the extended Marketing and Engineering Teams.

You must be highly motivated and enjoy working in a tight-knit group. We love people with a passion for learning and keeping up with the changing trends of both design and standard compliance coding.
