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 In fact, the majority of enterprise search is powered by outdated keyword technology that only scans for keywords and delivers a list of hyperlinks rather than actually answering questions.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, passionate, hard-working, 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 creative strategic solutions that continue to elevate our brand and elevate it 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.  
We are looking for a dynamic and curious senior designer with a mind for B2B marketing, digital strategy and an eye for detail to join our growing team. The Senior Graphic Designer is a central key contributor and skilled visual communicator, responsible for conceiving and designing brand experiences in all media. This role will sit in our New York City HQ in the heart of the Meatpacking District. It will be a mix of brand-new creative, project management, production and execution for our global brand and digital initiatives. 
Our dream candidate has stellar design and storytelling skills with a deep understanding of the craft of design, branding, and bringing ideas to life. You live at the intersection of marketing and user experience and understand how to take users on a complete journey from discovery to adoption and success. You understand that concept and execution are inseparable when it comes to design, and you know how to execute both at the highest level. You feel comfortable whiteboarding, pitching, and building comprehensive brand design systems — with a digital product understanding. Never hesitating to jump in with a colleague to generate ideas, you’re both a leader and a collaborator driving the creative process forward. Above all, you inspire and lead by example by making the most of every opportunity to develop breakthrough experience. We love what we do, and we have fun doing it. If you relish the opportunity to join that kind of team, let’s talk.

An Insider's view of Yext

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Yext is the most social company I’ve ever worked at. People are smart and capable but also love to have a good time. With the numerous organized and impromptu events, unlimited vacation policy, and great people overall, I can’t imagine working somewhere with a better work-life balance.
