Graphic Designer

About Us:

Monarch is a powerful, all-in-one personal finance platform designed to help make the complexity of finances feel simple again. Since launching in 2021, we've become the top-recommended personal finance app by users and experts. Our goal? To take the stress out of finances so our members can focus on what truly matters.

We are a team of do-ers led by experienced entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping our members reach their financial goals. We're hyper focused on building a product people love, and on finding every edge that helps us do that better. AI is core to how we operate: every person on the team uses it as a partner to sharpen judgment, move faster, and expand what's possible. We're not looking for tool mastery, we're looking for fluency and curiosity. What matters is that AI is part of how you work today and that you're actively raising your own bar on how to use it well.

As a fully remote company (even before COVID!), we welcome applicants from almost anywhere. Our team collaborates synchronously mostly from 9 AM – 2 PM PT and embraces asynchronous work to stay connected across time zones.

Join us on our mission to transform lives by simplifying money, together.

The Role

Monarch is seeking a Graphic Designer to join our Creative team during a period of rapid growth. Reporting to the Head of Creative Production, you'll be a hands-on craft designer producing the paid social creative that powers Monarch's growth engine. You'll take briefs and rough direction and turn them into polished, on-brand direct-response static ads — rooted in data-informed design — at the volume and speed our Meta testing framework demands, so we can test more concepts, iterate on winners faster, and keep raising the quality bar. This is an execution-focused role for a designer who loves to ship.

What You'll Do

• Design and produce direct-response paid social static creative (and static-adjacent motion where needed) against briefs for active Meta testing sprints — every asset built to drive a specific action, informed by performance data
• Turn winning concepts into fresh variations and format extensions for continued testing
• Apply and maintain Monarch's brand and design system across every asset
• Translate briefs, rough direction, and performance signals into strong, on-brand first drafts that need minimal redirection

• Keep design files, templates, and asset libraries clean, organized, and reusable

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years of graphic/visual design experience, ideally in paid social or direct-response / performance creative
• A strong portfolio of static ad/social creative demonstrating craft, range, and typography/layout fundamentals
• Fluency in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator)
• The ability to work fast and iterate at testing volume without dropping quality

• Capable AI fluency — comfortable using generative tools to work faster

Nice to Haves

• Motion design / After Effects
• Experience in fintech or another regulated category
• A track record of designing to performance data (iterating from CTR / CVR / ROAS signals)

Typical Process

1. Recruiter Screen
2. Hiring Manager Screen
3. Portfolio + Design Exercise Review (paid)
4. Cross-functional / Values Interview
