About The Role

  • We are looking for a Lead Graphic Designer to lead and grow FairMoney’s in-house design team.
  • This role is both creative and managerial as you will set the visual direction across campaigns, guide execution standards, and manage designers to ensure all output meets the highest level of quality.

  • Coordinate workflow, prioritize projects, and communicate timelines to ensure efficient delivery.
  • Partner with design studios, UGC agencies, and other external vendors to deliver premium video and motion outputs.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional design experience, including 2+ years in a lead or managerial role.
  • Proven ability to define and maintain creative direction across multiple channels (digital, social, video, outdoor, CRM).
  • Strong portfolio showcasing static ads, illustrations, motion graphics, and video-led campaigns.
  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro) and Figma.
  • Solid understanding of video production, animation, and motion design processes.
  • Experience managing and mentoring design teams while maintaining high creative standards.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Ability to balance performance-driven creative with strong brand storytelling.
