- We’re looking for a Brand Designer to join Relay’s Marketing Design team and help shape how our brand comes to life across campaigns and customer touchpoints
- This is a mid-level role for a conceptually strong, hands-on designer who can independently own projects from brief to delivery
- Someone who pairs strong visual craft with storytelling, sound judgment, and reliable project ownership
- You’ll work closely with brand designers, copywriters, marketers, and cross-functional partners to create high-quality work across digital, lifecycle, web, social, campaign, event, and sales touchpoints
- You’ll contribute to creative direction, present and explain your thinking, manage projects with confidence, and help the team scale through reusable templates, documentation, and growing expertise in a design specialty
- Brand Designers at Relay turn strategy, customer insight, and complex financial ideas into work that feels clear, distinctive, and human
- In a category that can feel cold or interchangeable, your work helps business owners feel understood and helps Relay earn trust
- By bringing strong ideas, owning work from concept to delivery, and creating repeatable resources, you help raise the creative bar while enabling the wider team to move faster
- Own brand design projects from brief to delivery across channels including paid media, web, lifecycle, social, campaigns, events, and sales enablement
- Translate marketing strategy, customer insight, and business context into thoughtful concepts and visual stories, pushing beyond the first or most obvious idea
- Apply Relay’s visual identity with consistency and creativity while contributing ideas that evolve how the brand shows up
- Independently manage small-to-medium projects by clarifying scope, aligning stakeholders, maintaining timelines and versions, communicating blockers early, and adapting when priorities change
- Collaborate closely with partners across Copy, Brand, Growth, Product Marketing, Social, and the wider organization to bring work to market with clarity and quality
- Present work and clearly explain the rationale behind your design decisions
- Synthesize varied or abstract feedback into stronger design with each round of iteration
- Build and maintain templates, libraries, documentation, and reusable resources that improve consistency and make repeatable work more efficient
- Use performance signals, stakeholder feedback, and customer context to improve the work and connect design decisions to marketing and business goals
- Develop deeper expertise in at least one design specialty, such as motion, social, lifecycle, illustration, iconography, or web, and share that knowledge with teammates
- Use emerging tools, including AI, thoughtfully to support—not replace—original concepting and craft while maintaining Relay’s quality and brand standards
