What we do and why we do it
As the leading end-to-end investment platform for single-family rental homes (SFR), our mission is to make real estate investing radically accessible, cost effective, and simple. We successfully merge our passion for helping investors build wealth through real estate with cutting edge technology that transforms the way they do it.
How it’s going (and growing)
With a talented team of 400+ Roofsters, our collaborative, can-do culture is what fuels our growth. Early last year we closed on our Series E, raising $240 million, and have offices in California, Texas, and New York as well as many remote opportunities. Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Great Jones (full-service property management), Stessa (financial management software) to empower customers with a seamless way to acquire, manage, and track their investment properties on one platform, and Rent Prep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords).
Under our roof
We get a lot of attention for our innovation—like being on the Forbes Fintech 50 and Red Herring 100—but we’re most proud of being recognized as a Great Place to Work® (Check out our reviews!). We’re nice, get things done, and have fun. We champion professional growth and work-life balance.
We are looking for a Senior Communications Designer to join our Marketing team at Roofstock.

  • Create visually compelling and professional presentations using PowerPoint or other presentation software, incorporating impactful graphics, charts, and images that effectively communicate complex information in a clear and concise manner.
  • Develop clear and engaging storylines that effectively convey key messages, aligning with the organization's strategic objectives and target audience.
  • Apply design principles, including typography, color theory, and layout, to enhance the visual appeal and readability of presentations while maintaining brand consistency.

  • Collaborate closely with executives, providing design guidance and support throughout the presentation creation process, including content organization, visual hierarchy, and overall presentation flow.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Marketing, Communications, and Product teams, to ensure alignment with messaging, branding guidelines, and strategic objectives.
  • Conduct thorough reviews of presentations to ensure accuracy, consistency, and adherence to brand standards, as well as the identification and correction of any errors or inconsistencies.
  • Stay updated on presentation design trends, emerging technologies, and best practices to continuously improve our design capabilities and ensure cutting-edge visual communication.

What You Will Bring With You:

  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field. A combination of education and relevant experience will also be considered.
  • 8+ years working as a graphic designer or communications designer, with a focus and demonstrated success creating presentations (PowerPoint, Keynote) used by executives.
