We're looking for a Senior Creative Designer who brings both artistic vision and AI fluency to the table — someone ready to shape how retail investors discover, trust, and engage with our FinTech platform in Japan.
This isn't a traditional design role. You'll sit at the intersection of creative excellence and performance marketing, using AI-powered tools to move fast without compromising quality. Your work will span the full customer acquisition journey — from thumb-stopping social ads to educational content that makes complex financial concepts feel intuitive and approachable.
You'll partner closely with Growth, Marketing, Product, and Customer Experience teams to build a visual language that converts. The financial services space demands a rare combination of boldness and credibility, and we need a designer who knows how to walk that line.
