We’re looking for a Senior Graphic Designer who combines exceptional craft with deep production expertise. Working within the brand vision and creative direction, you’ll translate campaign concepts into polished, consistent assets across a wide range of go-to-market channels.

This is a highly hands-on role. You’ll spend most of your time designing and producing work for integrated marketing campaigns, product launches, demand-generation programs, sales enablement, events, partnerships, and corporate communications. You’ll bring senior judgment to the execution—anticipating production needs, solving problems independently, and ensuring every deliverable is accurate, on-brand, and appropriate for its audience and channel.

Experience in fintech or financial services is a strong advantage. We operate in a trust-sensitive, highly technical space where clarity, consistency, and attention to detail matter.

What you’ll do

Translate established creative concepts and brand direction into polished assets across multiple go-to-market channels
Produce campaign deliverables for web, paid and organic social, email, landing pages, events, webinars, print, and other digital formats
Create sales and partner collateral, including presentations, pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, solution briefs, and reports.
Support product launches, demand-generation campaigns, account-based marketing programs, and regional go-to-market initiatives
Adapt core campaign ideas into channel-specific executions while preserving a consistent visual story
Partner with marketing, sales, content, communications, and regional teams to understand requirements and manage deliverables
Turn complex financial and technical information into clear, credible, and visually engaging materials
Build and maintain reusable templates and modular asset systems that improve production speed and consistency
Apply Alpaca’s established standards for typography, color, illustration, iconography, imagery, and layout
Prepare production-ready files and perform detailed quality assurance across formats, specifications, links, copy, and brand requirements
Manage multiple concurrent requests, communicate tradeoffs, and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines
Provide thoughtful craft feedback and help improve production practices across the creative team

What we’re looking for

7+ years of professional experience in graphic, visual, brand, or marketing design
A portfolio demonstrating exceptional execution across integrated campaigns, digital marketing, presentations, and sales collateral
Significant experience producing multi-channel go-to-market assets within an established brand and creative direction
Agency or high-volume in-house experience, with the ability to manage multiple briefs and deliverables simultaneously
Expert proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, including Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
Advanced presentation-design skills, particularly for executive, sales, and customer-facing materials
Strong knowledge of production requirements across digital, social, web, presentation, and print formats
Excellent typography, composition, layout, and information-hierarchy skills
The ability to extend a creative concept across formats without diluting or unnecessarily reinventing it
Strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to file organization, version control, specifications, and final quality assurance
Experience collaborating with creative directors, designers, marketers, copywriters, and cross-functional stakeholders
The maturity to receive direction and feedback, ask productive questions, and execute independently once alignment is established
Experience in fintech, financial services, developer tools, infrastructure, data, enterprise software, or another technical industry

Nice to have

Motion design experience using After Effects, Lottie, or similar tools
Experience supporting global or regionalized campaigns
Familiarity with localization and creating adaptable campaign toolkits
Experience working in a high-growth startup or distributed in-house creative team
