Senior Designer - Editorial, Creative

You believe in our mission. You know that money can be both intimidating and empowering, and you feel invested in our vision of how well-managed finances can reduce worry and enable our clients to live their lives more fully. You are motivated to make a meaningful impact, to improve the financial system, and to do your part to define a brand that is working to do just that.

You sweat the small stuff. You recognize that the line between ok and exceptional can be very, very thin, and you’re innately driven to stay on the correct side of it. You make considered decisions in your work, can defend your creative choices, and are ready to revise your opinions in the face of compelling arguments because you care deeply about making the work the best it can be. You have high expectations for yourself and the people around you, and nit-pick the pixels.

You expect your work to serve the team. You know that your way isn’t always the right way, and you’re eager to find a way to contribute, even when it might be outside your typical skill set. You understand there’s always more you can learn, and you look forward to opportunities to add to your creative arsenal.

You are resourceful and enterprising. You think like an owner, are solutions-oriented, and adapt quickly to the constraints and challenges of a nimble team in a fast-paced, rapidly growing business. You actively explore new tools and ways to improve collaboration, development, and execution of your work.

You create memorable, engaging things that might-or-might-not look like marketing. You have experience finding the moments that bring a brand to life.
