About The Position

Altruist is transforming the multi-trillion dollar wealth management industry by building an AI platform for wealth professionals. We partner with financial advisors nationwide, empowering them to grow, optimize time and resources, and deliver superior outcomes for their clients. We're looking for exceptional talent to help us achieve our mission of making financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to all. If you're passionate about challenging the status quo and want to do the most important work of your life, we'd love to meet you!

We're hiring a Senior Brand Designer to lead the visual evolution of Altruist across its entire ecosystem. This is not a support role. It’s a leadership role within brand responsible for shaping how our products show up across product surfaces, launches, campaigns, motion, storytelling, and emerging experiences. The ideal candidate thinks quickly, designs thoughtfully, and pushes work beyond the obvious. They bring impeccable taste, a sharp point of view, and a deep understanding of contemporary design — while also knowing when restraint is the most powerful move. This designer will collaborate with product designers, motion designers, illustrators, and cross-functional teams to bring new ideas to life across the Altruist surfaces. This role operates as a thought partner to Creative Leadership on new Altruist initiatives and long-term brand direction.
