Colorwave Inc is hiring: Senior Designer, Brand Advertising in Atlanta

Senior Designer, Brand Advertising

Stripe is building one of the world's most important companies, and the way we show up creatively in the world matters. As a Senior Designer, Brand Advertising, you'll sit at the center of that work, concepting and crafting campaigns that earn attention, build brand equity, and reflect Stripe's ambition. You'll work day-to-day within the Advertising team while staying in close partnership with the Stripe Identity team, making sure every campaign is rooted in who Stripe is and where the brand is going.
This is a role for someone who thinks in campaigns and executes with craft, equally comfortable generating a big idea and sweating the details of how it comes to life across every channel. This is a high-impact, high-ownership position where you will help define what advertising and campaigns can be and feel like, with craft and beauty.
Responsibilities include:
Concept, develop, and execute integrated campaigns across digital, film, print, OOH, and live activations, from early brief through final delivery
Work closely with the Advertising team to build a strong, consistent creative pipeline that connects brand to business goals
Partner with the Stripe Identity team to ensure campaign work is grounded in and advances Stripe's visual and verbal identity
Translate briefs, user insights, and business objectives into campaign ideas that are both strategically sharp and creatively distinctive
Present and champion ambitious creative work to stakeholders and senior leadership, building the case without diluting the idea
Art direct external agencies, contractors, and collaborators, maintaining quality and brand alignment throughout
Work closely with producer leads to drive program success, managing timelines, quality, and alignment across workstreams
Contribute to raising the team's standards and culture of craft through the quality, clarity, and consistency of your own work
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements include:
5+ years of design and art direction experience, ideally at technical or product-driven companies
A strong track record of independently delivering work while also influencing the output of other designers, contractors, and agencies
Deep cross-functional collaboration skills, comfortable working across creative, product, marketing, and strategy
Strategic instincts for building ambitious, globally facing brands in fast-moving environments
Strong instincts across film, digital, print, OOH, and activations, with a genuine pulse on culture and the ability to translate that into concepts that earn attention
A proven ability to sell ambitious creative work: concepting ideas and presenting them in a way that earns buy-in from senior leadership without flattening them
A strong partnership mindset, particularly with producer leads, to drive programs forward with quality, clarity, and momentum
Confident stakeholder management skills: able to navigate ambiguity, align competing priorities, and bring people in on the creative
Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and the latest AI workflows
Exceptional craft and impeccable taste
Preferred qualifications include:
Genuinely curious, ambitious, and creative, with a sharp eye for typography, a deep appreciation for craft and the creative process, and a digitally native sensibility
Persuasive and considered in presenting your work and process; skilled at facilitating stakeholder conversations without losing creative integrity
Active experimentation with AI tools in the creative process, with an honest point of view on how they can shape the way work gets made
Excellent written and verbal communication; strong organization and presentation skills
Experience in sports marketing, sponsorship activations, or brand-in-culture work, with a perspective on how brands earn credibility in spaces they don't own
Created work that generated genuine cultural traction, beyond media spend alone
Able to art direct at a high level and think through how a design system or campaign idea can evolve and deepen over time
Experience in environments where product and brand both had to pull their weight, and where the product itself was central to the creative story
A history of award-caliber work, and the perspective to know that awards aren't always the goal, but that they have a real place in raising ambition, sharpening craft, and setting a team's creative standard
In-office expectations may vary depending on role, team, and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
The annual US base salary range for this role is $175,200 - $262,800. For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate's experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
