Senior Visual Designer

Your opportunity

The Marketing Experience Design Team (MXD) helps marketing teams create consistent, high-quality digital experiences across web, email, and social channels.

As a Senior Visual Designer, you will shape how Schwab shows up across digital marketing touchpoints.

• Create visual patterns, templates, modules, page layouts, and reusable assets that help teams deliver faster and more consistently.

• Apply strong understanding of interaction patterns, layout, typography, color, imagery, accessibility, and responsive behavior.

• Provide art direction and visual design critique to strengthen message clarity, brand expression, and overall experience quality.

• Apply AI tools and workflows to support discovery, synthesis, ideation, content exploration, prototyping, and workflow acceleration.

• Partner with marketing, content, product, engineering, analytics, legal/compliance, vendor, and channel teams to align decisions and remove barriers.

• Help teams adopt practical guidance, tools, and ways of working that improve quality and efficiency.
