We're looking for a graphic designer to help bring the Sling Money brand to life across paid advertising, social media, and in-person events. You'll work closely with our design and marketing team to create clear, compelling visuals that tell the Sling story in a simple, expressive way.
This would be a one-month full-time contract, with potential to extend or move to freelance after that.
This role is hands-on and fast-moving — perfect for someone who loves crafting high-quality visuals, thrives in an iterative environment, and can translate a brand system into a wide range of marketing assets.

Design short animations or lightweight motion assets that communicate product value quickly and clearly
Produce marketing materials for in-person events, including handouts, cards, etc.
Design graphics and templates for organic social channels
Collaborate with marketing and design to ensure consistency across all touchpoints
Adapt existing brand guidelines into new, expressive formats while keeping things simple and clean
Bring ideas to life from concept to polished final deliverables, often on quick timelines
Help evolve the visual language of Sling Money as we grow into new markets
What We're Looking For

3–5+ years of experience in graphic design, motion design, or visual communication (agency, in-house, or freelance)
Strong portfolio showcasing eye-catching ads, animation/motion work, and polished marketing design
Ability to make complex ideas feel simple and easy to understand through visuals
Excellent visual craft — composition, typography, layout, color, and motion
Comfortable working independently, taking direction, and iterating quickly
Experience adapting design systems across a variety of formats and sizes
Clear communicator who can explain design thinking and rationale
Nice To Have

Experience with fintech or global consumer brands
Experience designing for multi-language or international audiences
Experience with animation, lightweight 3D, or video editing
Familiarity with paid media best practices (aspect ratios, file specs, ad performance constraints)
