Overview
Plaid builds the infrastructure that connects financial accounts to the apps and services people use, and its Brand Studio needs a designer who can cover a wide surface. Working alongside Marketing, you will shape landing pages, paid ads, email, social, event collateral, and sales decks, often in the same week. The team cares about how design moves marketing performance, not just how it looks, so creative choices tie back to channel goals and conversion. Figma is the daily tool, and reusable components and templates keep output high without lowering the craft bar.
What You'll Do7
- Produce brand and marketing creative for web, paid media, email, social, events, campaigns, and sales enablement assets.
- Design marketing landing pages, product pages, and responsive digital experiences with usability and conversion in mind.
- Turn marketing objectives, audience needs, channel specs, and performance data into clear creative decisions.
- Work with marketers, writers, and fellow designers from initial brief through final delivery.
- Balance speed, quality, and shifting priorities across a heavy volume of parallel deliverables.
- Protect Plaid's brand standards while building on shared components, templates, and repeatable workflows.
- Judge when to make a call alone and when to bring the team in on a creative question.
Requirements7
- 5+ years of experience in brand, graphic, or marketing design, ideally in-house.
- A portfolio that shows genuine range across marketing channels, formats, and deliverable types.
- Exceptional visual craft and attention to detail.
- Solid grasp of marketing channels, audience needs, and performance goals, built through close work with Marketing teams.
- Experience designing for the web, covering landing pages, responsive layouts, and digital best practices.
- Expert-level Figma skills.
- Comfort working independently, handling ambiguity, and juggling many concurrent projects.
Preferred Qualifications2
- Conceptual thinking or art direction experience, including original campaign ideas and creative directions.
- Experience using AI or automation tools to speed up creative production and build scalable workflows.
Who Should Apply
Designers with 5+ years across brand and marketing work who can move between a landing page, a paid ad set, and a sales deck without losing craft. You should bring a portfolio showing real range, expert Figma skills, and a working sense of how creative drives marketing results.
