Sr. Visual Designer
Delivering great user experiences is one of the core values upon which Recurly has been built. Whether it’s designing a marketing web page or crafting the user interface our customers rely on to run their businesses, the Design Team is involved at every step. We’re responsible for creating the brand promise customers have in their first interaction with Recurly and ensuring we deliver on that promise in the product itself.
Subscription businesses around the world rely on our product every day to secure critical billing information, invoice and communicate with their customers, and evaluate their reporting data. It’s crucial that our brand and product experience communicate confidence and credibility at every step.
As a Senior Visual Designer at Recurly, you’ll be responsible for extending the creative vision of the Recurly brand. You’ll work closely with a small team of talented designers and marketers to create engaging brand experiences across a variety of channels, including the main Recurly website as well as landing pages, emails, advertisements, and print collateral.
You’ll also help extend our brand guidelines to manage our steady growth, keeping all of our brand touchpoints consistent and beautiful. And of course you’ll get to take part in internal projects like designing the next Recurly t-shirt, poster, or event, as well as advising on interior design decisions in our office. But you won’t do it alone. You’ll work as a partner with marketing, product, and other designers to bring it all to life.
