We're looking for a Brand Designer with exceptional craft, strong taste, and the range to create standout marketing work across channels. You'll bring Plaid's brand to life across paid and organic social, email, web, events, sales enablement, and more, while building the creative systems and tools that help our team deliver great work at scale.
This is a craft-first role with a strong systems component. Beyond designing exceptional creative yourself, you'll use Figma, AI, automation, and emerging tools to make our workflows faster, more consistent, and easier to maintain, without sacrificing the quality or distinctiveness of the work.
Responsibilities- Create exceptional brand and marketing design across channels, with a high bar for typography, composition, visual storytelling, and detail.
- Translate and extend Plaid's brand across a wide range of formats, making strong independent design decisions while maintaining a cohesive visual system.
- Build smart, flexible templates and creative systems in Figma that preserve design quality while making repeatable work easier to scale.
- Identify opportunities to improve the creative process using AI, automation, and emerging tools, applying technology thoughtfully to reduce repetitive work and create more space for high-value design.
- Partner across Design and Marketing to build, document, and roll out workflows and tools that are intuitive for others to use and maintain.
Qualifications- 5+ years of experience in brand, marketing, or creative design, with a portfolio that demonstrates exceptional visual craft, strong taste, and versatility across channels.
- Strong command of typography, composition, hierarchy, image-making, and brand systems, with the judgment to create polished work from concept through final execution.
- Deep Figma expertise, including building components, templates, and systems that are flexible, intuitive, and maintain a high creative bar at scale.
- Hands-on fluency with AI, automation, or emerging creative tools, and strong judgment about when they improve the work versus when human design craft matters more.
- A systems-minded problem solver who can bring structure to complex workflows without overengineering them, with strong communication, collaboration, and ownership skills. A degree in design or a related field is a plus, but not required.
