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
