Senior Brand Designer - Growth

Responsibilities

• Contribute across the full range of Brand Studio work — campaigns, web, social, and brand initiatives.
• Own the creative vision for Mercury's growth channels — establishing what brand excellence looks like at the performance layer and building the standards that sustain it.
• Design paid ad creative across static, motion, and social formats.
• Use creative testing as a strategic tool by developing hypotheses, taking creative risks, and translating learnings back into stronger creative direction and the brand.
• Partner closely with growth marketing on campaign briefs, iteration cycles, and channel strategy.
• Take Mercury's product UI and translate it into compelling visual moments for campaign and growth contexts.
• Design for lifecycle marketing: email imagery, landing pages, and other conversion-focused touchpoints.
• Art-direct video and collaborate with production partners as campaigns require.
• Build scalable creative systems — templates, asset libraries, and workflows.
• Contribute to Mercury's brand system as it intersects with growth and performance contexts.
• Use AI tooling in day-to-day work to scale and test growth creative faster and to produce bespoke imagery and assets.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in brand design, art direction, or visual communication, ideally with a mix of in-house and agency experience.
• Portfolio that demonstrates both craft and strategic thinking.
• Proficiency in Figma; motion and video editing experience is a strong plus.
• Genuine point of view on brand and understanding that great growth creative is an expression of brand.
• Appetite for creative testing and analytical mindset; fluent in both quantitative data and qualitative signal.
• Genuine fluency with AI as part of creative practice; stay close to AI design tooling.
• Ability to work at volume and speed without losing the thread.
• Genuine pull toward the growth surface; see paid, lifecycle, and growth channels as an underexplored canvas for the brand.
• Strong communication skills: articulate creative decisions, take feedback, and hold a point of view under pressure.
• Experience with paid social platforms (Meta, LinkedIn) and familiarity with ad spec requirements is a plus.
