Senior Visual Designer | Bankrate

Red Ventures

1d • $100,000 - $150,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

This role is open to remote or hybrid candidates (East Coast preference), with hybrid being central to our New York, NY or Charlotte area offices. We're looking for a Senior Visual Designer to own visual execution across our marketing channels, from paid social and display to email, landing pages, and direct mail. This is a high-output, performance-oriented role for someone who understands that great creative drives results and who can move fast without sacrificing craft. You'll be embedded in the marketing team, working closely with performance marketing and lifecycle managers to translate strategy into creative that converts. You'll be in the room where testing strategy happens, contributing to hypotheses, designing for iteration, and using performance data to sharpen your own work.

Requirements

• Experience designing for paid digital channels with direct accountability to performance metrics. Portfolio shows meaningful breadth across social, display, email, and landing pages.
• You've designed across paid social, email, display, and landing pages and understand the format constraints, attention dynamics, and creative conventions of each.
• You build design systems, not one-offs. You create modular templates, maintain asset libraries, and design with the next ten variations in mind.
• You do your best work inside tight parameters: a specific CTA, a narrow format, a required disclosure. You find the creative solution within the guardrails, not despite them.
• You work well with non-designers, can take direction from a performance manager, push back when the brief is wrong, and move quickly without waiting for perfect inputs.
• Expert in Figma. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects or Premiere).
• You actively use AI tools and have a point of view on where they create real leverage in visual design, and where they fall short.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with HTML/CSS for email implementation is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Produce assets to support paid social and display channels. Build modular systems that support rapid iteration across hooks, formats, and CTAs.
• Translate testing hypotheses into distinct creative variants with format-native execution across placements.
• Maintain high output without defaulting to templated work. Know when to simplify, and how to do it in ways that still convert.
• Design templates and campaign assets that balance brand consistency with performance. Support A/B testing of formats, layouts, and CTAs across trigger-based and broadcast campaigns.
• Build a modular email design system lifecycle can deploy across segments without custom design on every send.
• Own design for direct mail campaigns — envelope creative, inserts, and self-mailers — within print specs, production timelines, and physical format constraints.
• Steward Bankrate's visual identity across channels, identify drift proactively, and maintain organized design files that make handoffs clean and iteration fast.

Benefits

• Health Insurance Coverage (medical, dental, and vision)
• Life Insurance
• Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Holiday Pay
• 401(k) with match
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid Parental Bonding Benefit Program
