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. 

What You’ll Do:

• Performance Marketing Creative: Produce assets to support paid social and display channels. Build modular systems that support rapid iteration across hooks, formats, and CTAs.
• Creative testing: Translate testing hypotheses into distinct creative variants with format-native execution across placements.
• Volume with craft: Maintain high output without defaulting to templated work. Know when to simplify, and how to do it in ways that still convert.
• Email design: 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.
• Template systems: Build a modular email design system lifecycle can deploy across segments without custom design on every send.
• Direct mail creative: Own design for direct mail campaigns — envelope creative, inserts, and self-mailers — within print specs, production timelines, and physical format constraints.
• Brand and asset management: Steward Bankrate's visual identity across channels, identify drift proactively, and maintain organized design files that make handoffs clean and iteration fast.

What We’re Looking For:

• Performance design track record: Experience designing for paid digital channels with direct accountability to performance metrics. Portfolio shows meaningful breadth across social, display, email, and landing pages.
• Multi-channel fluency: You've designed across paid social, email, display, and landing pages and understand the format constraints, attention dynamics, and creative conventions of each.
• Systems thinker: You build design systems, not one-offs. You create modular templates, maintain asset libraries, and design with the next ten variations in mind.
• Creative under constraints: 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.
• Collaborative and fast: 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.
• Tool proficiency: Expert in Figma. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects or Premiere). Familiarity with HTML/CSS for email implementation is a plus.
• AI-forward practitioner: 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.

Compensation:

This range reflects total cash compensation, which may include base salary only or base salary plus target bonus, depending on the role. Where eligible, equity may also be offered separately and not included below. Actual compensation varies based on location, experience, and qualifications.

• Total Cash Compensation Range: $100,000 – $150,000 per year

Additionally, the following benefits are provided by Red Ventures, subject to eligibility requirements.

• 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
• Flexible Paid Time Off (PTO): We believe time to rest and recharge is essential.  That’s why we offer a generous and flexible PTO policy.  Full-time employees accrue 20 days of PTO for a full calendar year annually, with an increase to 25 days after five years of service.
