Описание вакансии

Who is Rainforest?

Rainforest is an early stage payments-as-a-service startup that has developed a solution that makes monetizing payments for vertically focused software platforms fair and simple.

We focus on small-to-mid sized platforms that want to add value to their small business customers through embedded payments — and want to do so without adding operational or regulatory burdens or costs.

Led by a successful repeat fintech founder with deep knowledge of the industry, and with venture backing from a Top 10 VC firm, Rainforest is well positioned to make an impact in the payments-as-a-service space, and we're looking for new team members who want to be a part of this journey!

Who are we looking for?

We're hiring our first full-time designer on the marketing team. Today, this role is mostly IC. You'll be in the weeds, executing across a wide range of work, and building the foundation of what Rainforest's brand becomes. Over time, the expectation is that you grow into managing a small creative function: hiring contractors, building processes, and leading brand strategy.

This is a rare setup for a designer: real ownership from day one and a clear path to leadership at a rapidly growing company. You'll work directly with Marketing leadership, no creative director above you. You’ll be the true owner of the visual identity for Rainforest.

The expectation is that you grow with the role. As Rainforest continues to grow, you will build and own the creative function within Marketing around you.

That means knowing when to execute yourself and when to bring in outside help — freelancers, agencies, contractors — and managing that work so the output still looks like us. You'll brief external partners clearly, manage timelines and budgets, and hold the quality bar whether you made it or someone else did.

What are some of the high-impact opportunities you’ll tackle?

• Brand System — maintaining, evolving, and ensuring consistency of our branding as we grow
• Content & Social — designing graphics for blog posts, social media channels, email and product launches
• Sales Collateral — building decks, one-pagers, and ABM campaign assets
• Product Mockups — creating graphics and animations that showcase Rainforest’s unique value
• Video & Motion — managing podcast editing, short-form content, event recaps, product explainers, and client testimonials
• Event Design — owning the full visual identity for our flagship event, Vertex, and its community, along with any other event needs from a design standpoint
• Website — taking charge of website design updates, landing pages, and other campaign assets
• Collaboration - internally/externally - working cross functionally to elevate the Rainforest brand, as well as knowing when to execute yourself and when to bring in outside help

You are the visual standard-bearer for Rainforest. Everything external reflects your taste and judgment. If it has a Rainforest logo on it, it goes through you.

This opportunity is for you if you have / are:

A great designer first. Someone with a strong point of view, clean craft across mediums, and the range to go from a conference keynote backdrop to a LinkedIn carousel without dropping the ball on either.

Beyond the craft:

• Worked in B2B SaaS or fintech. You know how to visualize complex concepts in a way that is clear and interesting
• Comfortable owning a brand system, not just executing within one
• Ability to work independently, move fast, and make judgment calls without needing sign-off on every pixel
• Someone who knows how to manage external creative partners (freelancers, agencies, contractors, etc.) and get great work out of them
• Always thinking about where the brand should go, not just what's in the brief today
• Fluency in motion and video. Do not need to be a video expert yourself, but need to be able to work with freelancers to get great work done in this medium
• Obsessed with producing high quality designs
• Excited about building something, not maintaining something

The person who succeeds here is someone who's energized by both execution and strategy. Great at making things. Equally great at thinking about how they evolve.

We offer a comprehensive health benefits package, unlimited paid time off, paid parental leave, a fun and flexible working environment, and continuously invest in our people and our culture.
