Senior Brand Designer - Growth

What We Do

We believe that the best creative work in finance doesn't just look good, it earns its place. We're building a brand that brings back the care and craft in modern banking.

What You'll Do

• Contribute across the full range of Brand Studio work — campaigns, web, social, and brand initiatives — alongside a team that holds craft and intention to a high standard.
• Own the creative vision for Mercury's growth channels — establishing what brand excellence looks like at the performance layer and building the standards that sustain it.
• Design paid ad creative across static, motion, and social formats, with a point of view on how each placement can reinforce Mercury's brand while driving results.
• Use creative testing as a strategic tool by developing hypotheses, taking creative risks, and translating what you learn, both quantitative results and qualitative signal, back into stronger creative direction and into the brand itself.
• Partner closely with growth marketing on campaign briefs, iteration cycles, and channel strategy.
• Art-direct video and collaborate with production partners as campaigns require.
• Build scalable creative systems — templates, asset libraries, and workflows — that give the team velocity without sacrificing craft.
• Contribute to Mercury's brand system as it intersects with growth and performance contexts.
• Use AI tooling in your day-to-day work to scale and test growth creative faster and to produce bespoke imagery and assets, contributing to the workflows the team is building.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in brand design, art direction, or visual communication, ideally with a mix of in-house and agency experience.
• A portfolio that demonstrates both craft and strategic thinking — work that's beautiful and purposeful, with evidence that you think about why it works, not just how it looks.
• Proficiency in Figma; motion and video editing experience is a strong plus.
• A genuine point of view on brand. You understand that great growth creative isn't a departure from brand — it's an expression of it.
• A real appetite for creative testing and an analytical mind. You’re fluent in both the quantitative data and the qualitative signal, curious about what’s working and why, willing to take risks to find out, and able to translate findings into better creative and into the brand.
• A genuine pull toward the growth surface itself. You see paid, lifecycle, and growth channels as an underexploited canvas for the brand, and you’re excited to own the creative vision for it to influence the brand direction.
• Strong communication skills: you can articulate creative decisions, take feedback, and hold a point of view under pressure.
• Experience with paid social platforms (Meta, LinkedIn) and familiarity with ad spec requirements is a plus.
