About The Role

As the Graphic Design Lead, you will build DriveWealth's creative production engine from the ground up. This is a critical Design Operations role focused on closing the gap between our brand vision and the high-volume needs of our Sales and Relationship Management teams. You won't just be designing assets; you will be architecting the infrastructure-templates, intake workflows, and vendor partnerships-that allows our revenue teams to move with speed and consistency.

Operating across web, print, events, and video, you will transform ad hoc requests into a repeatable, scalable pipeline. This is a hands-on position for someone who has successfully built creative operations in fast-paced environments and is ready to establish the blueprint for DriveWealth's internal design group.

Success in your first year will be measured by business impact: reducing asset turnaround times to accelerate sales cycles and launching a self-service library that empowers teams to lead with high-fidelity materials. You will lead our first major in-house partner summits while establishing the foundation for a future creative team under your guidance.

What You'll Do

• Partner across the marketing team to codify brand standards, first within marketing, then across the company.
• Map design demand across Sales, Relationship Management, Events, and Marketing: what's being asked for, how often, and where the bottlenecks are today.
• Build the intake process: a single way to submit requests, a clear brief format, and a trackable path from request to approval to delivery.
• Deliver the requests yourself while the process comes together. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role, not management only.
• Build the first version of a self-serve asset library (templates for decks, one-pagers, social) so routine requests don't have to sit in your queue.
• Set up a brand review checkpoint so anything partner- or client-facing gets a consistent check before it ships.
• Lead creative production for DriveWealth's in-person events, from signage and presentation templates to on-site printed materials.
• Track turnaround time and request volume so you can show leadership where the function stands and build the case for the next hire.
• Define how work gets delegated and reviewed once you're not the only designer, so growing the team doesn't just scale the bottleneck.

You Bring

• 5+ years of graphic design experience, including time spent building or scaling a creative/design-ops function (templates, intake workflows, approval processes) rather than only executing requests inside one. Nice to have: experience in Financial Services or Fintech.
• Proven track record of owning creative execution end to end in fast-paced environments, from concept through production and delivery.
• Experience managing outside vendors, freelancers, or print/production partners, including budget accountability for that spend.
• Ability to prioritize effectively across competing stakeholders, focusing on critical business needs over the loudest request.
• Client-oriented mindset with an understanding of downstream partner impact.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management, including with Sales and Relationship Management leadership.
• Comfort operating in a regulated and compliance-sensitive environment, with the judgment to know everything requires compliance approval before it ships.
• Some experience mentoring, reviewing, or managing other designers, or a clear readiness to start; this role is expected to grow into managing a small team.
• Transparent, accountable, and responsive communication style.
• Commitment to continuous improvement and a "we > I" philosophy.
• Unwavering integrity, sound judgment, and respect for operational excellence.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant experience.

Location

This role is open to candidates in the following locations: New York, NY / Chicago, IL - Hybrid

• If you're not based in one of the locations listed above, this role is not a fit, and we cannot accommodate remote work outside these locations.
• Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. DriveWealth does not sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.

Pay Range: $120,000 - $140,000 USD

Working at DriveWealth

We do our best work when we're in the same room. To maintain the speed our partners expect, our New York, Chicago, and Lithuania teams work in office on a hybrid schedule. We've found that being physically side-by-side is the only way to solve complex problems in real-time and stay truly accountable to the products we ship. When you're here, you're working directly with the people making the decisions.

To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match. We also offer Medical insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, Disability insurance, and Paid Parental Leave, along with a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and observed holidays.

Work Authorization

Applicants must possess the legal right to work in the country where the position is located at the time of application. DriveWealth requires all employees to provide original documentation verifying their work authorization on or before their first day of employment.

For US-based roles: Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for current or future visa sponsorship. DriveWealth does not provide visa sponsorship or support for employment authorization, including transfers, at this time. Offers of employment are strictly contingent upon an individual's ability to secure and maintain the legal right to work at the Company.

How We Think About AI

We leverage AI to work smarter and move faster. We seek AI-curious talent who are proactive about using emerging tools to increase signal quality, reduce friction, and improve outcomes to deliver products faster, provide better service to our partners, and to streamline processes. Your ability to leverage our internal tools and technology to drive results is as important to us as your core domain expertise.

Compensation

Pay is generally based on the level, complexity, responsibility, location, and job duties/requirements of the specific position. We then source candidates with the requisite skills, expertise, education, training, and experience. If you are selected for an interview, please feel welcome to speak to a recruiter about our compensation philosophy and other available benefits. This role is eligible for base, bonus, equity, 401(k) match, and heavily subsidized benefits and perks.

Equal Employment Opportunity

To build technology and products that are used and loved by people and solve real-world problems, we need to build a team with many different perspectives and experiences. We are an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
