Career & Market Insight

This is a senior individual contributor (IC) role at a well-funded fintech startup (Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, Khosla Ventures). For a marketing designer with 5+ years of experience, this represents a strong opportunity to build breadth in a regulated, high-stakes environment.

Compensation: No salary is listed. Senior marketing designers in US fintech startups typically earn $90,000–$140,000 annually, with top-tier VC-backed companies sometimes reaching $150K+. Equity is likely but not mentioned — ask about it.

Skills you'll develop:

  • Multi-brand design system management at scale (14+ partner brands)
  • Fintech compliance and legal review workflows — rare and valuable
  • Full-funnel marketing design (acquisition through retention)
  • Print production and prepress — increasingly rare, differentiating skill
  • AI-assisted design workflows — future-facing and in high demand

Culture signals: The language — "move fast," "high-velocity," "high-volume production" — points to a lean, execution-heavy startup culture. You'll likely own a lot independently rather than working in a large design org.

Green flags: Strong VC backing, real brand-name partners, cross-functional exposure, and a chance to shape design systems from early stages.

Red flags: No mention of a design manager, team size, or growth path — ask about career ladder and headcount during interviews. High production volume could mean limited time for strategic or conceptual design work.

Who We Are

Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth.

But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.

In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

About the Role

We're looking for a talented, multi-disciplinary Designer to join Imprint's marketing team. Imprint powers co-branded credit card programs for 14+ retail, travel, and lifestyle partners, and this role is at the center of how those brands show up across every customer touchpoint.

This role is for an experienced marketing designer who thrives in high-velocity, multi-stakeholder environments and can manage competing priorities without losing the details.

Key Responsibilities

As a member of the Design Team, you will work collaboratively with Marketing, Product, and Commercial teams across a variety of strategic campaign and lifecycle needs:

  • Design marketing assets across digital, physical, and performance channels for multiple co-branded partner programs, including:

    • Digital: emails, web banners, in-app promotions, push notifications, social posts
    • Performance: landing pages, paid media creatives, promotional campaigns
    • Physical: direct mail pieces, in-store signage, mailers, flyers, postcards — including print production, prepress, and vendor-ready file preparation
    • Brand: partner collateral, presentation templates, co-branded materials
  • Work fluently across multiple partner brand systems and translate creative briefs through each partner's unique guidelines, visual identity, and brand voice
  • Design acquisition landing pages
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams on product and marketing initiatives, managing feedback from both internal stakeholders and external partners
  • Navigate partner review and compliance approval workflows, incorporating feedback from legal, compliance, and partner brand teams
  • Uphold a high bar and own the quality of everything that goes out the door, maintaining standards across every partner program
  • Contribute to and maintain design systems and libraries to ensure consistency and scalability across multiple brands
  • Support production workflows including content packaging for translation, asset prep and output, deeplink setup, QR code and UTM generation

Skills and Qualifications

Essential:

  • 5+ years of experience in graphic design and production, ideally supporting multiple brands or product lines simultaneously
  • Strong visual design skills and portfolio of work
  • Deep experience working within and across multiple brand guidelines — comfort managing the cognitive load of switching between distinct brand systems
  • Proficient in Figma (primary design tool), Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop)
  • Solid understanding of responsive web and mobile design, UX principles, email design, digital advertising, and social media
  • Strong print design and production skills and experience preparing direct mail, signage, and collateral for print, including prepress file preparation and vendor specifications
  • Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple concurrent projects
  • Clear, proactive communicator who provides regular updates without prompting and can navigate multi-stakeholder feedback loops (internal teams, external partners, compliance)
  • Extremely responsive working independently in a remote environment
  • Attention to detail, high-quality execution, and ability to prioritize in a fast-moving, high-volume production environment
  • Experience with accessibility standards for web and email (WCAG)

Preferred:

  • Experience in fintech, banking, credit cards, or other regulated industries where legal and compliance review is part of the creative process
  • Familiarity with lifecycle marketing concepts and understanding how design supports acquisition, onboarding, engagement, and retention
  • Experience with or interest in AI-assisted design workflows and maintaining brand quality standards for AI-generated content
  • Experience working with Braze
