Senior Visual Designer

OVERVIEW
We're seeking a Senior Visual Designer to join a large North American financial institution undergoing a significant visual refresh of its digital experience.

This role sits at the intersection of brand, product, and systems — owning visual direction for the digital workstream and helping define a modern, cohesive visual point of view that product and UX teams can apply across consumer-facing digital journeys.

The work is highly collaborative, with close partnership across Wealth, UX Research, Design Systems, Brand, and Engineering. The role balances hands‑on visual craft with systems thinking — translating exploratory visual work into scalable, production‑ready patterns that live within and influence the broader design system.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Own and evolve visual direction for the digital refresh, working toward shared milestones alongside ongoing product delivery

Define and design scalable visual patterns across typography, color, layout, iconography, illustration, and motion

Develop UI and component‑level direction that product and UX designers can confidently apply across consumer digital journeys

Translate visual exploration into reusable, production‑ready assets and patterns for adoption by product teams

Partner with the Wealth design team to maintain alignment and a cohesive visual POV across parallel workstreams

Collaborate with UX Research to ground visual decisions in customer insight, usability findings, and testing

Contribute to the evolution of the design system — ensuring new patterns are documented, accessible, and ready for adoption

Create and maintain clear visual standards, usage guidelines, and best practice documentation

Communicate visual rationale effectively to cross‑functional stakeholders and leadership

Work in short, iterative cycles to explore, test, refine, and align on visual direction

QUALIFICATIONS

5–7+ years of experience in visual design, with work across design systems or large‑scale product ecosystems

Portfolio demonstrating strong visual craft, scalable systems or libraries, component and UI‑level design, and motion or interaction design where applicable

Deep expertise in typography systems, color, layout, iconography, and motion

Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, After Effects)

Experience delivering motion or interaction assets (e.g., Lottie or equivalent)

Familiarity with front‑end implementation considerations (HTML/CSS/JS concepts)

Strong understanding of inclusive design and accessibility standards

Comfortable balancing exploratory visual refresh work with systemization and documentation

Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills in complex, cross‑team environments

Experience working within agile, cross‑functional teams
