Job Description
Responsibilities
- Build Partner and Investor Presentation Materials
- Design and maintain a library of pitch decks used across partner conversations, RFP responses, and investor updates — balancing consistency with the flexibility to customize for specific audiences.
- Translate complex product and business concepts into visual narratives that are clear, compelling, and on-brand for both Cardless and its partners.
- Own end-to-end production of presentation materials: from initial brief to final polished deck, with the speed and independence to turn around work in hours, not days.
- Collaborate with the partnerships team to understand what each partner cares about and reflect that in how materials are framed and designed.
- Design Product Mockups and Prototypes
- Build decks and materials to present to clients (using PPT, Figma or other relevant tools).
- Build high-fidelity Figma mockups of card products, cardholder-facing interfaces, and partner-facing dashboards that help prospects visualize what they are buying.
- Work closely with the product team to ensure mockups are grounded in what Cardless actually builds — not aspirational fiction that sets unrealistic expectations in the field.
- Maintain a library of reusable decks, documents, design elements and materials that speed up production of new partner mockups without sacrificing quality.
- Rapidly iterate on designs based on feedback from sales conversations, partner calls, and internal review.
- Think Through Product Construction
- Participate in product discussions with enough depth to translate product decisions into accurate, visually compelling representations.
- Flag implications of product decisions early — before they become inconsistencies between what the sales team is showing and what engineering is building.
- Contribute to the product roadmap by surfacing product constraints and opportunities the product team may not have considered.
- Own the Cardless Visual Brand
- Maintain and evolve the Cardless visual identity across all external-facing materials — pitch decks, one-pagers, event collateral, and social assets.
- Ensure every asset that leaves the building reflects the level of craft that Cardless's brand positioning requires.
- Use AI design tools to accelerate production without compromising quality — you should be fluent in what current tools can and cannot do.
- Build repeatable processes and templates that make the team faster without requiring you to be the bottleneck on every piece of output.
- 3-6 years of product marketing / design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating high-quality work across presentations, product design, and brand materials.
- Meaningful experience working in or alongside commercial teams — design agency serving financial or tech clients, in-house at a startup, or a role with direct exposure to sales or business development.
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently at high output, without a creative director managing every deliverable.
- Figma: Expert-level fluency — you build components, maintain libraries, and prototype interactions, not just static screens. You are faster in Figma than most designers are in PowerPoint.
- Presentation Design: You make decks that people actually want to look at. You know when to use a visual and when to use words, and you can make a complex argument feel simple without dumbing it down.
- Photoshop and Image Editing: Comfortable handling photo editing, compositing, and asset production at a professional level. You do not need to be a photographer, but you know what to do with raw images.
- AI Design Tools: Fluent in current AI tools for design acceleration — image generation, layout suggestions, copy assistance. You use them to go faster, not as a crutch.
- Communication and Collaboration: You ask the right questions before starting, give and receive feedback clearly, and can explain design decisions in terms that non-designers find useful.
- Speed and Judgment: You calibrate quality to urgency. You know when to ship a good-enough version and when to hold out for excellent — and you make that call without needing to be told.
- Experience marketing and designing for financial services or fintech is a strong plus — you should be able to design a card product without needing to be taught what a credit card is.
- Meaningful Start-up equity
- 100% health, vision & dental primary coverage
- 75% health, vision & dental dependent coverage
- Catered lunches
- $250/month Commuter benefit
- Parental leave
- Team building events & happy hours
- Flexible PTO with a minimum of 15 days off per year
- Apple equipment
- 401k plan
