About the Role
We are seeking a Design Manager to serve as a founding member of our creative team. Reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, you will lead the visual evolution of our brands. You will work alongside our Senior Copyeditor and Creative Strategist to translate big ideas into high-converting assets. Your primary goal is to build a scalable design engine that enables our Social Media Manager and Paid Media Managers to execute at high velocity through custom templates and streamlined asset libraries.

• Marketing & Brand Execution: Lead the creation of all marketing collateral, including high-converting ads, email designs, and sales decks for Hammer Media and Dollarwise
• Product & UI Support: Support the Dollarwise product team by designing in-app visuals, custom iconography, and financial education illustrations
• Infrastructure & Playbooks: Author the official Design Playbooks and Rules of Engagement, ensuring a consistent ''founding'' visual standard across the company
• Video & Motion Production: Handle basic video editing and motion graphics for social clips and ads, reducing the reliance on external vendors like Fiverr
• Vendor Management: Manage 3rd-party overflow and specialty contractors, ensuring all external work adheres to the internal design systems you’ve built
Who You Are:
• 5–8 Years Experience: Proven track record in visual design or creative management, ideally in a fast-paced startup or agency environment
