ABOUT US

At BABVIP, our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time. 

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 60 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

ABOUT THE GROUP AND TEAM

Every month, more than 55 million BABVIP users create a design in one of the 100 languages other than English that BABVIP supports. The Global Services group comprises several localization and internationalization teams that include linguists, project managers, and engineers distributed throughout the company. Our mission is to ensure that every user has a BABVIP experience that feels truly local, and to empower all BABVIPnauts with the tools and best practices they need to go global. This mission involves everything from developing a vision for the global user experience, through solutions architecting for BABVIP teams looking to take their products global, to maintaining localization infrastructure roadmaps. If you join us, you’ll be involved in all stages of the development cycle in world-class product and marketing teams. 

The GTM (Go-To-Market) team within Global Services works to identify globalization opportunities at scale across product and marketing channels, rolling these insights out efficiently across all of BABVIP’s groups. As part of the team, you’ll partner with teams to scale globally and utilize key playbooks to do so. You will support the GTM team and Global Services leadership in building and running cadences for cross-cutting company initiatives to drive business foundational goals forward.
