### About the role

Pocket is looking for a talented **Visual Designer / Design Generalist** with a strong eye for aesthetics, detail, and high-quality execution.

You will work across a wide range of creative projects—from **paid advertising, social media, and marketing campaigns** to landing pages, web visuals, product presentations, and brand assets. You will also support Pocket’s existing designers and senior designers, helping the team move faster and maintain a consistently high visual standard as the company scales.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly. You do not need to know everything on day one. What matters most is that you can **learn quickly, take feedback well, execute reliably, and care deeply about the quality of the final work**.

### What we're looking for

* A strong portfolio demonstrating **excellent visual taste and craft** * Strong proficiency in **Figma** * A clear understanding of layout, typography, color, composition, and brand systems * Experience designing **ad creatives, marketing visuals, or social content** * The ability to create clean, compelling work quickly without sacrificing quality * Strong attention to detail and a high bar for consistency * The ability to take direction, incorporate feedback, and iterate constructively * Organized, reliable, and comfortable managing several tasks at once * Strong written and verbal communication skills * A proactive, low-ego, team-oriented working style * Curiosity, coachability, and the willingness to learn new tools and workflows quickly * Comfort working in a high-growth startup environment with changing priorities

### Nice to have

* Experience with **Shopify** or e-commerce creative * Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or similar tools * Experience creating landing-page or website visuals * Video editing, motion graphics, or animation experience * Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS * Familiarity with JavaScript or general coding concepts * Comfort reading documentation and independently figuring out unfamiliar tools * Experience working with a consumer technology, DTC, e-commerce, mobile app, or hardware brand

### What we offer

* The opportunity to help define the visual identity of a rapidly scaling consumer technology company * Work across a broad range of high-impact creative projects rather than one narrow design specialty * Close collaboration with experienced designers, founders, Growth, Marketing, and Product teams * Fast feedback loops and the opportunity to see your work directly affect company growth * Significant room to learn, expand your responsibilities, and grow within Pocket’s design organization * High autonomy, ownership, and exposure to a company scaling from **hundreds of thousands to millions of customers** * Competitive salary, depending on experience * Meaningful equity through Pocket’s employee stock option plan
