We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products.  Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo and SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 11,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Salt Lake City, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.

About our team
The design team at Plaid is made up of brand designers, product designers, systems designers, writers, program managers, and researchers who work hand in hand with our peers in marketing, product management and engineering to create Plaid’s market defining products.

What you’ll do here
You’ll be joining as the first Brand Designer on our Europe Team. You’ll work closely with product designers in Amsterdam and marketers in London to help develop our brand for a European audience. This role is the best of both worlds—a small, local team that can work nimbly while remaining connected to a larger Brand Design team in the U.S. that can provide support where needed. You’ll be in charge of coming up with creative, effective, and delightful ways of communicating with our customers and users in Europe.

What excites you

  • Helping to shape the brand strategy for a growing startup with a powerful story to tell
  • Creative storytelling and communicating complex or abstract concepts in ways that are clear and memorable
  • Thinking about identity systems and the principles that guide where we stay consistent and where we introduce differentiation
  • Obsessing over craft and details while still being grounded in pragmatism
  • Brainstorming solutions alongside incredibly smart, hardworking people from across engineering, product, marketing, and design
  • Working across a wide range of media and channels: web design, advertising, social media, print, events and 3D experiences… you name it
  • Being independent and having the freedom to push the boundaries of how our brand is expressed in European markets while being able to leverage support from the larger brand team

What excites us

  • Being a team player—this role will require close collaboration with fellow designers and cross-functional partners
  • Strategic, user-centric thinking—we ground our solutions in what’s best for our users
  • Humility and having a growth mindset—we believe in big ambitions but not big egos, and that feedback is a critical part of good design
  • Autonomy and organisational skills—this role requires the ability to prioritise, navigate ambiguity, and execute, often with limited guidance
  • At least 6 years of experience in agency and/or startup space
  • Fluency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign (or similar software), as well as Sketch or Figma
  • Experience providing art direction for freelancers and agencies
  • Nice-to-have: Experience with animation (AfterEffects, Principle, etc.)
  • Nice-to-have: Interest in languages used for web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
  • Nice-to-have: Interest in copywriting
