Role
Who you are
- The right person is equally at home concepting a campaign and shipping a co-branded one-pager before noon
- 5+ years of brand or marketing design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or fintech
- A portfolio that demonstrates both creative range and consistent brand thinking — across digital and physical
- Experience working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment where you are managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
- Strong written and verbal communication — you give clear feedback, write tight creative briefs, and can explain your design decisions
- Low-ego collaborative style: you work well with opinionated stakeholders and know when to hold your ground and when to flex
- High attention to detail and a strong visual standard — you notice when something is off and you fix it
- Figma (Pro) — expert-level, including components, auto-layout, prototyping, and file organization for team use
- Adobe Creative Suite — Photoshop, Illustrator, and related tools for production-level work
- InDesign — for print-ready collateral, sales materials, and multi-page documents
- HubSpot CMS — designing and building/deploying landing pages and email templates directly in HubSpot
What the job involves
- Vestwell is looking for a Senior Brand Designer to own creative execution across every channel and surface — from integrated campaigns and event experiences to web, email, social, and sales collateral
- This is a high-ownership, high-volume role on the Marketing team: you will independently manage a multi-workstream design queue, bring a clear visual POV to every brief, and be the connective tissue between strategy and finished creative
- You will partner with Content, Demand Generation, Product Marketing, Sales, and external vendors, while also running the design intake process that keeps the whole marketing org moving
- Design Creative Strategy:
- Experience building and maintaining design systems — you create reusable components, enforce visual consistency, and evolve the system as the brand grows
- Strong creative concepting skills — you can take a brief from whiteboard to moodboard to finished campaign with a clear point of view
- Demonstrated ability to build visual brand recall in market across campaigns, channels, and audiences
- High-volume, multi-workstream ownership — you manage several concurrent projects across different teams and deadlines without losing quality or momentum
- Independently own a brief end-to-end: intake, concept, stakeholder alignment, production, and delivery
- Experience across print, physical, and digital mediums — you are as comfortable designing a conference booth as a display ad
- Brings a clear POV through visual storytelling — your work has a perspective, not just execution
- Co-brand fluency — experience managing partner or co-branded materials programs, including versioning, approvals, and brand governance across a partner ecosystem
- Comfortable managing and directing external vendors: photographers, videographers, illustrators, and web developers
- Events & Physical:
- End-to-end design for the Vestwell event experience
- Conference booth activations, signage, and environmental design
- Branded merchandise and swag
- OOH campaign assets
- Campaigns & Brand:
- GTM creative for new product and feature launches
- Integrated brand campaign assets across channels
- Brand system extensions
- Creative concepting: moodboards, visual directions, and campaign frameworks
- Growth & Digital:
- Growth channel digital ads: display, Meta, Reddit, and other paid formats — multiple sizes and personas
- Ongoing social media creative for Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platforms
- Landing pages for campaigns, gated content, and partner-specific experiences
- Email design and HubSpot template build/deployment
- Sales Enablement & Collateral:
- One-pagers, decks, and webinar visuals
- RFP and proposal design
- Co-branded partner materials — logos, collateral, and partner-specific versioning
- App screen and product UI support as needed
- Design Operations:
- Own and manage the marketing design request intake process — triage the Asana queue, prioritize across stakeholders, and run a weekly design sync
- Onboard new teammates and stakeholders to the design request workflow
- Maintain and organize Figma files and the shared media library
- Coordinate with external vendors and freelancers on timelines and deliverables
Application process
- Our interview process starts the same for every candidate with 1-2 introductory conversations to learn more about your background, interests, and what you're looking for, while also giving you the opportunity to learn more about Vestwell and the team
- From there, the process varies by role but typically includes a skills or experience-based assessment, such as a coding interview, portfolio review, or deeper discussion of your relevant experience
- Successful candidates then move on to a virtual or in-person interview panel
- Before extending an offer, we complete a reference check with a current or former manager and a peer
- Throughout the process, we prioritize transparency, clear communication, and minimizing surprises
