The brand foundation is built. Now we need someone to push it.

We're looking for a Brand Designer who operates at the intersection of systems thinker and hands-on executor — someone who treats the brand as a strategic growth asset, not a visual exercise. You'll work closely with the Brand Lead and VP of Marketing to elevate how Rho shows up across every channel: from performance creative to OOH, from product partnership moments to the visual language that makes a fintech brand feel alive.

This is a high-ownership, high-leverage role on a lean, fast team. You'll set the craft bar and help hold it there.

What You'll Do

• Own the visual system. Extend and evolve Rho's identity — pushing the brand forward while maintaining coherence across every touchpoint.

• Drive campaign creative end-to-end. From initial concept through final production across digital, OOH, social, and experiential.

• Design across the full channel mix. Web, email, paid social, performance creative, swag, events, and video.

• Think in motion. A digital-first brand has behavior, rhythm, and personality. You design with that aliveness in mind — whether or not you're the one animating it. You'll partner with our video team on storyboards, motion assets, and graphic overlays.

• Make complexity legible. Translate dense financial concepts into visual storytelling that resonates with a tech founder audience.

• Build for performance. Partner on creative that is on-brand and built to convert — and you track the results.

• Work cross-functionally. Deliver templated, scalable branded materials for Product, Events, Partnerships, and Sales.

• Use AI actively. From ideation to image generation to production — AI is in your workflow, not on your wishlist.

• Build with AI, not just alongside it. You use Claude and other AI tools to do things that weren't possible before: drafting creative briefs, generating concept variations at speed, writing prompts that produce production-usable assets, and exploring builds that blur the line between design and agentic workflow. You're not waiting for a tutorial — you're figuring it out.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years in brand design, with a mix of agency and in-house experience.

• A portfolio demonstrating conceptual range, systems thinking, and high craft across brand identity, campaigns, and multi-channel execution.

• Genuine fluency with AI design tools — already in use, not aspirational.

• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects).

• Working knowledge of motion design: storyboarding, designing for motion, and directing or executing video assets (After Effects, Jitter, or similar).

• Craft is not a checklist. Typography, color, composition, and visual hierarchy are the lens you see through — bad kerning registers before you've read the word.

• You design in full brand ecosystems. Physical, digital, environmental, experiential — you understand how every expression of a brand relates to the next.

• You communicate like a creative director. You show up with context, bring stakeholders along early, and articulate decisions with the same clarity you bring to the work.

• You can tie design decisions to business outcomes — engagement rates, conversion lift, CAC.

• Deep ownership, no territorial instincts.
