Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

We're looking for a Brand Designer to be the steward of Affirm’s visual identity in all public communication related to product marketing. As part of the Product Marketing team, you will partner closely with our copywriters and work cross-functionally with our Product Design, Content Design, Product Managers, User Research, Digital Marketing, Web Developers, and PR/Communications teams. You will be responsible for concepting and crafting consumer-facing and merchant-facing narratives of Affirm’s mission across a variety of media.

  • Work cross-functionally with PMs, designers, researchers, and engineers at all stages of the product development process — from ideas to optimizations
  • Contribute your expertise to marketing strategy and vision (not just “how it should look,” but “how can this be better?”)
  • Develop creative visual solutions following the process from concept through to production

What We Look For

  • 3-5+ years of digital and print design experience
  • Experience building strong, ambitious, and iconic brands with a strong emphasis on design

  • Experienced knowledge of relevant design software (Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, G Suite, Asana)
  • Attention to detail – meticulous when it comes to typography, grids, balance, and white space
  • Can work autonomously and communicate design decisions clearly and effectively
  • Ability to concept and design quickly and share progress openly and frequently
  • Informed, collaborative, and thought-through opinions. Willing to push and fight for an idea, but willing to listen and problem solve as a team player
  • Comfortable art directing photographers, videographers, illustrators, and other designers
