Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate views business-centric design as a strategic tool for problem-solving, with a proven history of managing complex projects from the first sketch to final delivery
- Minimum of 4+ years as a dedicated designer within an agency or fast-paced in-house creative department
- Bachelor’s degree in Art, Design, Advertising, or a related field is preferred
- A robust portfolio demonstrating real-world client work and the ability to solve complex business challenges is required
- Previous experience in B2B, B2B2C, or white-label environments is preferred
- Familiarity with the Automotive, Powersports, Marine, RV, or Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) industries is a significant plus
- Mastery of Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (specifically InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop)
- Proficiency in Premiere Pro and After Effects is preferred, along with high-level presentation design skills in PowerPoint and Google Slides
- Demonstrable experience leveraging AI tools to optimize workflows, enhance efficiency, and create more space for high-level creative strategy
What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly collaborative, solution-oriented Creative to join our team and help us redefine the visual landscape of the financial industry
- In this role, you will maintain, adapt, and deliver compelling creative assets across a sophisticated multi-brand ecosystem
- Our work spans digital and print channels, reaching diverse B2B, B2B2C, and B2C audiences where clarity and impact are paramount
- Because we operate in a fast-evolving space, we value adaptability—the ability to navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities with a steady hand and a commitment to high-quality output
- We are looking for a designer with a collaborative drive who proactively shares insights to elevate our collective work while remaining eager to learn
- Above all, you should possess a deep creative curiosity, drawing inspiration from the world around you to bring fresh, innovative perspectives to every brief
- If you are an experienced designer looking to elevate your career by bringing strategic, high-caliber design to a unique segment of the financial world, this role is for you
- End-to-End Partnership: Act as a dedicated individual contributor to manage the full lifecycle of your creative projects from concept to final production, across a wide range of marketing collateral (emails, print, sales decks, point-of-purchase, social, and digital assets) for multiple brands and channels
- Systemic Design Thinking: Take an abstraction-first, solution-oriented approach to building reusable design templates that can be used for multiple brands. Your goal is to create scalable systems that make it easier and faster for our entire team to deliver on campaigns
- Performance Creative: Collaborate closely with the Creative Director, Creative Managers, and Marketing Leads to develop visual solutions that drive product demand and engagement
- Technical Edge (Bonus): Experience with video editing, motion graphics, and an understanding of design-to-development handoffs. Coding experience is a plus
- Please note: While our internal title is Manager, Creative, this is a hands-on, Senior Designer-level role. You will report directly to a Creative Director and act as an individual contributor, executing and managing your own design projects from start to finish rather than managing a team of direct reports
Our take
Octane is revolutionizing the financing process within the powersports industry. The company's online platform offers streamlined online financing options and has significantly improved customer experience through its technology-driven solutions.
In addition to its core focus, Octane has expanded its offerings to include recreational vehicles, tractors, trailers and electric vehicles. The company collaborates with over 30 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and has originated more than $4 billion in loans through its in-house lender.
Octane's impressive flurry of funding rounds in 2024 underscores strong confidence in its business model and future growth. This capital has enabled the company to expand into more markets, including the auto market with its captive-as-a-service solution for dealership groups.
