Brand Designer, Marketing

Relay is a digital banking platform that gives self-made business owners the tools and know-how to be great with money—bringing clarity, confidence, and control to every dollar earned, so they can turn hard work into lasting success. We do this by replacing financial guesswork with real visibility, transforming cash flow from a constant source of stress into a clear signal owners can use to run stronger, more resilient businesses.

We’re looking for a Brand Designer to join Relay’s Marketing Design team and help shape how our brand comes to life across campaigns and customer touchpoints. This is a mid-level role for a conceptually strong, hands-on designer who can independently own projects from brief to delivery. Someone who pairs strong visual craft with storytelling, sound judgment, and reliable project ownership.

You’ll work closely with brand designers, copywriters, marketers, and cross-functional partners to create high-quality work across digital, lifecycle, web, social, campaign, event, and sales touchpoints. You’ll contribute to creative direction, present and explain your thinking, manage projects with confidence, and help the team scale through reusable templates, documentation, and growing expertise in a design specialty.

Brand Designers at Relay turn strategy, customer insight, and complex financial ideas into work that feels clear, distinctive, and human. In a category that can feel cold or interchangeable, your work helps business owners feel understood and helps Relay earn trust. By bringing strong ideas, owning work from concept to delivery, and creating repeatable resources, you help raise the creative bar while enabling the wider team to move faster.

We believe great brand design makes complex ideas feel clear, memorable, and human. If you care about craft, storytelling, and creating work that earns attention and trust, we’d love to hear from you.
