Role
Who you are
- You bring 10+ years of experience in brand, creative, or design, including leading and mentoring design teams in high-growth tech companies where brand was a strategic asset, not just an aesthetic layer
- You’ve built and scaled high-performing design teams and creative cultures where people take pride in their craft, push each other to improve, and care deeply about the work
- You’re a systems thinker with strong visual instincts able to design not just beautiful things, but repeatable frameworks that scale quality and consistency
- You care deeply about storytelling and how design can clarify, amplify, and emotionally connect
- You’re a builder at heart energized by the opportunity to define a brand from early stages and evolve it as the company grows
- You’ve led creative work across multiple channels (web, digital, print, motion, etc.) and know how to prioritize what matters without compromising on craft
- You take ownership, move with purpose, and hold yourself and your work to the highest standard of excellence
- You understand that great design serves a purpose and you care as much about achieving business goals as you do about visual polish
What the job involves
- At Payrails, Marketing is a creative and strategic engine that shapes how the world experiences our product
- Sitting at the intersection of storytelling, product, and go-to-market, our mission is to make Payrails instinctively understood, relevant, and trusted by modern enterprises around the globe
- We focus on three core pillars:
- Deeply understanding our customers and their evolving challenges - by continuously listening, researching, and engaging across markets and segments
- Crafting sharp, differentiated narratives - built on clarity, insight, and a strong editorial and visual voice
- Driving scalable growth through rapid experimentation - testing and iterating across content, channels, and experiences to unlock what moves the needle
- Marketing at Payrails operates with a fast pace and precision
- We move quickly, value thoughtful execution, and aim for lasting impact over short-term noise
- We’re ambitious about quality - from the way we tell our story, to how we measure results, to the brand experience we deliver at every touchpoint
- You’ll be joining a team of hands-on builders who blend creativity with analytical rigor, and who take full ownership of their craft
- If you’re excited by the opportunity to shape how an emerging category is defined and want to experiment, learn, and scale what works, you will thrive here
- Define and lead the evolution of Payrails’ brand building a visual identity and narrative style that’s clear, cohesive, and powerful
- Set the creative direction for all design work across marketing, content, GTM, and internal touchpoints - from the website to pitch decks to event materials
- Translate complex ideas into clean, thoughtful design that enhances storytelling and elevates how customers experience Payrails
- Partner closely with Marketing, GTM, and Product to ensure that design and brand are deeply embedded in everything we do - not just how we look, but how we think
- Build a scalable design system and creative workflows that enable consistency and quality at speed
- Raise the bar for craft and detail, making sure every pixel, every word, and every frame contributes to a brand we’re proud of
Our take
For many businesses, commerce is becoming a more global operation. With this developing marketplace comes an increasing number of potential payment methods, and constantly evolving regulatory landscape. This makes the merchant's operations far more complex. Payrails understands the frustration associated with the enormous efforts and time required to simply accept payments or create new experiences for customers - so the company was founded in an attempt to build a better solution.
The cloud-native payment operating system streamlines payment acceptance. The platform allows you to integrate new payment integrations, design customer payment experiences and ease the movement of money, targeting the biggest problem areas that are identified.
The company was initially backed by Andreessen Horowitz and has since acquired a seed extension for its efforts. The digital payments market is projected to double over the next decade so it’s an affluent space to be a part of for the scaling FinOps platform. The company aims to continue to address the market gap by offering a comprehensive solution tailored to the needs of high-growth businesses.
