Marketing Designer, Payscale

• 3–5 years of design experience in a marketing or in-house creative environment, with a portfolio that demonstrates both craft and range
• Adobe Creative Suite proficiency — Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign (particularly for long-form document layout and data report production) and data visualization design experience to translate charts, tables and statistics into accessible, visually clear layouts
• Active Adobe Firefly experience
• Canva AI fluency — Magic Switch, Text to Image, and Brand Kit configured as standard tools
• Figma working knowledge — enough to maintain and build templates, collaborate with the design Manager on landing page assets
• Strong layout and typography fundamentals — you understand visual hierarchy, data visualization design, and how to make dense information readable. The research reports require genuine layout judgment, not just template filling
• Production discipline — you hit deadlines, manage multiple assets in parallel, and communicate clearly when timelines are at risk
• Self-directed working style — you manage your own queue, flag blockers early, and don't need to be walked through every brief

Desirable

• Payscale's Creative team is lean by design and moving faster than it ever has. We're looking for a Marketing Designer who is genuinely AI-native — someone who already has Firefly, Canva AI, and AI-assisted design tools built into their daily workflow. This role is the force multiplier the team needs
• You'll work directly with our head of Creative on everything from research report layouts and product launch kits to social templates, email headers, and ad variants
• You're a generalist with real craft — someone who can move from a Figma template to a Canva social variant to an InDesign report section without losing momentum or quality
• Produce campaign assets across all required formats: digital ads (Google Display, LinkedIn, Meta), email headers, social graphics, event materials, and presentation decks — with speed and on-brand quality as equal priorities
• Design and maintain the research report layout for Payscale's monthly data publications — working from structured data output and narrative copy to produce publication-ready design on a monthly cadence
• Own the self-service template library in Canva and Figma — building, documenting, and expanding templates that allow Demand Gen, Content, and Comms to produce routine assets without a design ticket
• Execute asset variants at scale across all required channel sizes using AI-assisted tools — one master design to every required format, fast
• Handle basic social animation for Instagram Reels and LinkedIn video posts using Canva Animate and Runway — absorbing simpler motion work from the external motion contractor as AI tools mature and your capabilities grow
• Collaborate across Brand & Demand teams on creative briefs, feedback rounds, and production timelines — you're reliable, communicative, and you protect quality at every handoff
