About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Visual Designer, a craft-driven IC with the ability to own projects end-to-end and set a high benchmark for design quality. You’ll work across campaigns, product launches, digital assets, and brand systems, translating complex banking tech stories into bold, memorable visuals.

• Build and maintain design systems, illustration libraries, and templates that scale creative output without sacrificing quality.
• Collaborate with product, content, marketing, and growth teams to bring abstract ideas to life through strong visual storytelling.

• Act as a custodian of Zeta’s brand identity, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints.
• Present creative work confidently, articulating rationale and advocating for design excellence.

Experience and Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in visual, brand, or communication design with a track record of owning projects end-to-end.
• A portfolio that demonstrates multi-disciplinary strength: campaign visuals, illustrations, digital design, presentations, and brand systems.
• Strong command of typography, layout, composition, color theory, and storytelling.
• Proficiency in tools like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects), plus curiosity for AI-driven workflows.
• Excellent communication skills, able to present and defend design choices in cross-functional settings.
• A builder’s mindset — comfortable with ambiguity, self-directed, and driven by curiosity and craft.

Skills

• Additional Skills
• Motion design, 3D, or prototyping expertise.
• Experience designing for global or multi-market brands.
• Familiarity with banking tech, SaaS, or transactional products.
