• Lead the design of marketing assets across digital and physical channels - paid ads, web, sales decks, social, events, and print
• Ensure brand consistency across all touchpoints and proactively build scalable design systems
• Conceptualize design ideas and articulate clear reasoning behind your creative direction
• Collaborate closely with the marketing team, cross-functional stakeholders and freelance creatives

• Implement feedback constructively and contribute to a collaborative, iterative design process
• Deliver high-craft work across multiple projects while managing timelines and priorities

• Leverage AI tools to increase creative efficiency, ideation, and scalability

Skills and experience you'll need

• 5+ years of proven experience from branding/design studios or in-house brand teams (preferably in a tech-driven environment)
• A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking and high-craft execution across digital (static and motion) and print formats
• Work quickly within a fast-paced environment and remain focused under pressure without compromising on quality.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to detail and a balance of best practices and creative innovation
• Proven experience in developing and evolving brand identity systems
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and presentation skills—able to clearly articulate design rationale to both creative and non-creative audiences
• Proficiency in graphic design and motion software (Figma and Adobe Creative Suite etc)
• Have a curious personality that embraces AI, and familiarity with using AI tools for creative development/production and to enhance design output and efficiency
• Positive and proactive attitude with a willingness to listen, learn, take initiative, and own outcomes
• Possess exceptional English-language skills in both written and oral communication.

We believe you'll thrive in this role if you have

• Previous experience in fintech or Saas
• A proactive mindset and a passion for building and evolving creative foundations
• Strong visual judgment and attention to detail, paired with strategic thinking
• A collaborative spirit and thrive in a fast-paced environment
• A growth mindset and curiosity around new tools, technologies, and trends
• Excitement about being part of a fast-moving team that’s defining a brand from the ground up

Benefits 

• Robust pension plan with national and occupational components
• Excellent health insurance coverage, including long-term illness protection and salary exchange options
