About the role
This position will sit part time in our Boulder office.
Responsibilities
- Design on-brand sales collateral, including one-pagers, decks, case studies, and enablement assets
- Produce and iterate performance marketing creative, especially Meta ads (static, carousels, lightweight motion, and short-form video assets)
- Create motion graphics for paid social, including animated text, transitions, and simple product/benefit storytelling
- Adapt concepts into multiple sizes, formats, and versions for testing (fast iteration is the job)
- Collaborate closely with marketing stakeholders (growth, partnerships, sales enablement) to turn briefs into polished creative
- Maintain and evolve templates and lightweight systems that make the team faster (toolkits, reusable ad layouts, slide templates)
Requirements
- You’re a mid-level designer who can move quickly, take direction well, and also push work forward independently when the ask is a little fuzzy.
- You have strong fundamentals (layout, typography, brand consistency), a sharp eye for ad creative that performs, and you can bring designs to life with motion graphics.
- You’re familiar with using AI platforms such as Nano Banana and VEO 3.1 to be your thought partner when appropriate.
Qualifications
- 3–5 years of relevant design experience (in-house, agency, or freelance), ideally supporting marketing and/or sales teams
- A portfolio that shows strength in both marketing design and performance creative (ads that feel like they’re built to win, not just look pretty)
- Motion graphics experience (After Effects or equivalent), including social-first animation
- Strong proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
- Solid production design skills: speed, precision, file organization, and consistency
- The ability to work from brand guidelines without making everything feel templated
- Clear communication and comfort giving/receiving feedback in a fast-paced environment
- The ability to work from ambiguous briefs that quickly evolve
- Experience managing or contributing to brand social media channels, with an understanding of platform-native content, posting cadence, and community engagement
Skills
- Experience designing for acquisition funnels (landing pages, email graphics, lightweight web assets)
- Familiarity with creative testing frameworks for Meta
- Experience in fintech, payments, or SaaS
- Background working with small business or merchant audiences
Benefits
- A global team with a scrappy, high-ownership culture
- A fast-moving marketing team where your work will ship, not sit in a queue
- Collaboration with stakeholders across growth, sales, and partnerships
- You'll work closely with and report to the US Senior Designer, getting hands-on exposure across the full scope of a lean, high-output marketing team
