Requirements

5+ years of professional design experience in a digital design role, with a portfolio demonstrating both marketing design excellence and systematic UI/product work.
In-house or agency experience welcomed.
A strong portfolio showcasing mastery of layout, typography, color theory, and user-centered design—with clear examples of both brand/marketing campaigns and UI/product design.

Responsibilities

Produce a wide range of digital assets—social media graphics (static and motion), display banners, email templates, web landing pages, and in-product UI screens—that feel unmistakably Sunrun.
Serve as a steward of the Sunrun visual identity, ensuring all output aligns with brand guidelines while actively pushing the creative standard higher.
Translate complex solar technology and financial concepts into elegant, digestible infographics, visual narratives, and UI content patterns that reduce friction and build confidence.
Deliver pixel-perfect mockups, prototypes, and production-ready assets across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints.
Design intuitive, aesthetically refined interfaces for web and mobile products—crafting layouts, color schemes, typography hierarchies, icon sets, and interactive elements that put users first.
Help develop, maintain, and evolve Sunrun's design system, style guides, and UI pattern libraries, ensuring consistency and enabling design-to-development velocity.
Collaborate closely with front-end engineers, speaking the language of HTML/CSS constraints to bridge the gap between design intent and technical implementation.
Partner with the Performance Marketing team to design high-impact ad creative that drives measurable action across Meta, Google, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and emerging platforms.
Develop multiple creative iterations to identify visual and UX drivers that improve click-through, conversion, and retention rates.
Ensure every customer-facing touchpoint—from first ad impression to final checkout—is cohesive, accessible, and conversion-optimized.
Collaborate with Copywriters, UX Designers, Product Managers, Marketing Leads, and Engineers to take projects from initial brief through final pixel-perfect delivery.
Present and defend design decisions clearly, incorporating stakeholder feedback with professionalism and a point of view.
Leverage AI design tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, generative fills) to accelerate image creation, automate repetitive tasks, and explore new creative concepts.
Stay ahead of digital design trends, UI/UX best practices, accessibility standards, and technology shifts to keep Sunrun feeling fresh and best-in-class.
Mentor and elevate junior and mid-level designers, providing feedback on craft, process, and professional growth.
Review and approve creative work, maintaining quality and brand standards across the team.
Manage workload distribution and creative priorities across a small team when needed.
Model design culture — setting the bar for craft, collaboration, and creative thinking.
