We believe that every dollar saved represents a lifetime of hard work and aspirations, and every dollar invested has job to do for our clients. That’s why we are committed to managing our clients’ investments by truly understanding them as people first and then delivering advice, strategies and solutions to help them feel confident about the plans they are making, whether for today, tomorrow, or in the great unknown future. Our goal is to build long-term relationships based on respect, integrity, and a belief that our responsibility is to help people make smart investments decisions in every stage of their lives.

We are committed to moving forward together. If you are inspired by purpose-driven work and a collaborative, values-led culture, we invite you to explore a career with us.

 

This is a role for a designer who is equal parts maker and thinker: someone who can translate creative direction into design systems that are elegant, scalable, and deeply human. You’ll bring a sharp eye for detail, a strong sense of brand, and a passion for craft that helps build trust in a category that depends on it.

 

Reporting to the Creative Director, Art, you’ll work closely with art directors, copywriters, and strategists to bring our creative ideas to life — and mentor designers to raise the bar for craft and consistency.

  • Translate creative direction into visually polished and on-brand design solutions. 
  • Contribute to the development and ongoing evolution of our brand design system. 
  • Collaborate closely with art directors, copywriters, and marketing partners to ensure design alignment and consistency. 
  • Prepare production-ready files and support creative rollout across channels. 
  • Bring a fresh perspective to design reviews, sharing ideas, exploring trends, and continuously improving the work. 
  • Balance speed and precision, delivering high-quality work on tight timelines. 

 

Requirements:

  • 2–4 years of professional design experience, ideally across brand, digital, or marketing environments. 
  • Strong grasp of typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy. 
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma; motion or prototyping experience a plus. 
  • A portfolio that shows a strong sense of craft, consistency, and visual storytelling. 
  • Comfort working collaboratively and incorporating feedback to strengthen your work. 
  • Curiosity and initiative, you’re eager to grow your skills and take on more creative responsibility.
