Brand & Marketing Designer
About The Position
About HousingWire HousingWire is a data, media and intelligence company built for housing industry leaders. Our mission is to help housing industry professionals make better decisions, faster. We equip decision-makers across real estate, mortgage, homebuilding and fintech through authoritative journalism, proprietary data and industry-leading events. Our culture values curiosity, ownership and meaningful impact. The role We’re looking for a highly versatile, in-house designer to join our brand team and bring our visual identity to life across every touchpoint. This is not a narrow, single-channel design role. You’ll be working across paid campaigns, editorial environments, product marketing, events and more. You should be equally comfortable designing a high-performing paid social ad, a polished executive presentation, and a data-driven chart or report — often in the same week. You’ll partner closely with marketing, editorial, product and sales to create work that is not only visually strong, but strategically aligned and built to perform. You’re as comfortable designing a paid ad that converts as you are building a chart that explains what’s actually happening in the market.
