Staff Visual and Brand Designer

My client is a fast-growing fintech company revolutionizing financial planning. Their mission is to empower people to live more enriched lives by delivering a new standard of advice. By removing asset minimums, they provide holistic planning that goes far beyond investments to address every way money impacts life. To achieve this, they leverage a "human-plus-tech" approach, combining the expertise of CFP professionals with cutting-edge AI and automation. This model allows my client to integrate advice into members' entire financial picture-all for an affordable, flat membership fee.
Overview
My client's Design team is looking to add an exceptionally talented Staff Visual Designer to shape how the brand comes to life across experiences. They recently launched a 0-to-1 mobile app that established a new visual direction, but that was just step one. Now, this individual contributor role will help define, scale, and actualize this aesthetic across the entire brand ecosystem. You'll set the standard for visual craft by creating thoughtful, distinctive, customer-centered work and influencing creative direction across the organization, ensuring every touchpoint reflects a cohesive, high-quality design language.

This is a big opportunity for a designer who thrives on autonomy and wants to put their fingerprint on a fast-growing tech company. You won't just be receiving top-down decisions; you will act as a strategic partner to the Head of Design, actively co-creating the visual language that builds deep trust with prospective members. As an embedded partner working closely with Marketing and Growth Product Managers, you'll be a trailblazer-taking an initial vision and building it into a world-class, comprehensive design system.
