Role Overview

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Brand Designer to push our fintech brand identity to the next level. You’ll turn creative direction into real-world assets and experiences that feel consistent, engaging and memorable across every touchpoint - with a high bar for creative excellence and a strong design point of view.

• Design with multi-platform support in mind, ensuring brand expression scales across channels, formats and devices while staying premium and consistent.

• Collaborate with cross-functional partners like Product, Marketing, Sales and other Design teams to ensure brand consistency at every touchpoint.

• Contribute to creative briefs and kick-offs, helping define goals, audiences,constraints, and how we’ll measure success.

• Maintain a high bar for craft through feedback, critique and hands-on iteration - raising quality through example.

• Support and mentor more junior designers through guidance, feedback and practical craft coaching.

You will have:

• 6+ years of relevant professional experience in brand and communication design, with a portfolio showing exceptional craft and taste.
