Creative Director, Design

Creative Director Build the future of investment management with us The infrastructure managing $300 trillion in assets was built in the 90s. Now, all of it is up for grabs. The winner of the AI era of investment management will be a $100B+ company. We intend to be that company. To get there, we're assembling the most talent-dense startup in New York. We hire people who are 1) exceptional, 2) allergic to anything that's not exceptional, and 3) recruiters of other exceptional people. We also have no tolerance for brilliant jerks. We run lean by design. We work with a select group of the largest financial institutions in the world, go incredibly deep with each, and sit in the flow of trillions of dollars. We hire fewer people, ask each to own the outcome, and pay on impact - not tenure or experience. Moment is not for everyone. The standards are unreasonably high. The pace is intense. And there is no playbook. In return: the best work of your career, building a generational company. About Moment Moment is the AI operating system for investment management, built for the world's largest wealth firms and fintechs. Moment works with firms managing more than $10 trillion in client assets and is backed by Index, a16z, and Lightspeed. Moment was founded by former quants from Citadel and Jane Street and is based in NYC. The Role As we enter a new era, we're hiring a Creative Director to help define who Moment is and how Moment shows up in the world. We don't do traditional marketing. Our business is relationship-driven, and our growth depends on deepening trust with the leading financial institutions of the world, and on attracting elite talent. Our brand is the most powerful lever that serves both. As Moment’s Creative Director, you will architect a generational brand identity while also setting precedents for how a player in this space can show up in the world. Moment will be a generational company, and you will help cement that legacy. You’ll work closely with leadership and design to craft a brand that is as ambitious and distinctive as the company itself. This is a highly autonomous, highly collaborative role for a strategist‑maker. You are equally comfortable defining systems and shipping work.
