About The Position

We’re looking for an experienced visual designer to join Wealthfront’s Creative Team to work within our investing product area, reporting to our Creative Director, Visual. As a pioneer in automated investing and money management, we offer tools and services to make financial dreams more accessible to a broader range of people than ever before. Our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional creative solutions that inspire, engage, and drive results. As a Senior Creative on the Investing team, you’ll help us find smart, engaging ways to bring our brand promise to life with strategic insight and impeccable execution while playing an important role in shaping our brand to influence the future of financial services. You’ll use your craft to speak to multiple audiences about investing, whether they’re just starting their wealth building journeys or have years of experience. You’ll be responsible for collaborating closely with cross-functional colleagues to create a wide range of awesome things: producing assets alongside creative and cross-functional peers to launch innovative investing products and features, while visualizing the ins and outs of complex financial topics with clarity and just the right amount of flair. Not only will you find new, unexpected (and unexpectedly fun) ways to get people excited about their wealth building journey, you’ll deliver the kinds of exciting creative ideas that no one would ever expect from a financial institution. Our Senior Creative Designer II will be a hands-on doer and a wonder-worker with pixels, who has a knack for putting just the right surprise in just the right spot to get someone to smash that sign-up button.
