Marketing Designer

Responsibilities

• Produce campaign assets across all required formats: digital ads (Google Display, LinkedIn, Meta), email headers, social graphics, event materials, and presentation decks - with speed and on-brand quality as equal priorities
• Design and maintain the research report layout for Payscale's monthly data publications - working from structured data output and narrative copy to produce publication-ready design on a monthly cadence
• Own the self-service template library in Canva and Figma - building, documenting, and expanding templates that allow Demand Gen, Content, and Comms to produce routine assets without a design ticket
• Execute asset variants at scale across all required channel sizes using AI-assisted tools - one master design to every required format, fast
• Handle basic social animation for Instagram Reels and LinkedIn video posts using Canva Animate and Runway - absorbing simpler motion work from the external motion contractor as AI tools mature and your capabilities grow
• Collaborate across Brand & Demand teams on creative briefs, feedback rounds, and production timelines - you're reliable, communicative, and you protect quality at every handoff

Requirements

• 3-5 years of design experience in a marketing or in-house creative environment, with a portfolio that demonstrates both craft and range.
• Adobe Creative Suite proficiency - Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign (particularly for long-form document layout and data report production) and data visualization design experience to translate charts, tables and statistics into accessible, visually clear layouts.
• Active Adobe Firefly experience
• Canva AI fluency - Magic Switch, Text to Image, and Brand Kit configured as standard tools.
• Figma working knowledge - enough to maintain and build templates, collaborate with the design Manager on landing page assets.
• Strong layout and typography fundamentals - you understand visual hierarchy, data visualization design, and how to make dense information readable. The research reports require genuine layout judgment, not just template filling.
• Production discipline - you hit deadlines, manage multiple assets in parallel, and communicate clearly when timelines are at risk
• Self-directed working style - you manage your own queue, flag blockers early, and don't need to be walked through every brief
• Basic animation experience - Canva Animate, Runway, Pika, or Adobe After Effects for short-form social video (Instagram Reels, LinkedIn video posts)
• Motion graphics fundamentals - even basic After Effects familiarity reduces dependency on the external contractor for simpler deliverables
• B2B or SaaS design experience - understanding enterprise brand standards and how to design for HR/compensation audiences
• Location
• Payscale has an employee centric remote-first model that provides you the flexibility to do your best work in a space that supports you, while also finding time to collaborate in person for the moments that matter.
• In our remote-first model, employees can work from the location that works best for them. We do not have centralized corporate offices. Employees can choose to work from home, in company-paid co-working spaces, or any combination of the two that best suits their unique needs.
• If you work from home, we recommend ensuring that you can meet the following technology, equipment and workspace requirements:
• High-Speed Internet - A stable broadband or fiber connection (satellite is highly discouraged) with a minimum speed of 100 Mbps in a dedicated workspace that has a reliable Wi-Fi signal.
• Device for Multifactor Authentication (MFA/2FA) - smartphone, tablet,
