This role is ideal for a senior designer and creative leader who understands that rigorous brand standards and bold visual storytelling are not in tension but are two sides of the same coin.

• Partner with Copywriting & Editorial to ensure design and copy are developed in tandem, with consistent visual and narrative cohesion.
• Serve as the design authority across the marketing org, upholding consistency, quality, and compliance in all outbound creative, with a meticulous eye for detail given the regulatory standards of operating in the fintech space.
• Art direct and design integrated marketing campaigns across paid media, OOH, digital, email, CRM, and social.
• Lead design for the website, landing pages, and product marketing materials.
• Produce and oversee social, editorial, and content design that supports brand authority and performance.

• Design and copy function as one integrated creative unit, producing work that is on-brand, on-strategy, and on-time.
• The CMO and leadership team have a trusted creative partner who elevates every major communication.
• A scalable design infrastructure is in place, with documented standards, efficient review workflows, and a growing team, that keeps pace with the company’s national expansion.
