The posting

Job description

Our brand has to show up in a lot of places: ads, YouTube, UGC, email, the blog, social, print, and the web. We're hiring a brand designer who works across graphic design, web, and motion graphics, with basic video editing on top, so everything looks and feels like Helcim wherever someone meets us. You'll report to Rodolfo, our Director of Design, and work directly with Marketing. Your job is to keep our visual output evolving.

What's hard about it You'll switch between graphic, web, motion, and video work, and each has its own craft and its own deadlines. AI tools make fast output easy and good output hard, so a big part of the job is knowing when something is good enough to ship and when it needs another round. You'll also question the brief, propose ideas, build on other people's input, and explain your rationale well enough to move stakeholders.

What you need 🛠

  • 5+ years in a design, brand, or creative role. You're a strong executor and a creative thinker with a great sensibility for design and aesthetics.
  • Strong creative ideation skills. You question the brief, propose ideas, build on others' input, and explain your rationale well enough to move stakeholders. You're a strong marketing partner who talks about strategic outcomes, not just design.
  • Advanced motion design skills. You work fluently in After Effects and can take a storyboard to finished animation. Your portfolio includes a motion reel.
  • You can shoot and edit video for ads, UGC, and YouTube.
  • You know Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite well.
  • You use AI tools like Higgsfield to move faster, and you have a strong sense of judgement about what quality means when AI generates the output.

What you don't need

  • Payments or fintech experience.
  • Illustration, 3D, or UI/UX experience. It's useful, and you can build it here.
  • A degree in anything specific.

If something would make the interview process more accessible for you, tell us and we'll sort it out. We hire for range, because a team that thinks the same way solves problems the same way.

What your week actually looks like 🔑

  • Visual design. Ads, web, email, storyboards, print, social media, and more, all in the Helcim brand language.
  • Concepting and storyboarding. Developing ideas with Marketing, sketching to make complex, abstract concepts easy to grasp, and joining conversations that go beyond design to focus on strategic outcomes.
  • Motion design and video editing. Turning storyboards into finished motion in After Effects for ads, social, and web, and shooting and editing video for ads, UGC, YouTube content, and more.
  • AI-assisted production. Using tools like Higgsfield to speed up the work, and deciding where AI output is good enough and where it isn't.
  • DesignOps. Improving how the Design team works and keeping our internal digital asset library in order.

Job benefits

Helcim was founded with a mission at heart: to be the world’s most loved payment system. From the very start, we knew that we wanted to be different from every payment processor out there. We want the merchants we serve to feel supported and see us as a trusted partner rather than simply just another “cost of doing business.” We are relentless in our pursuit to provide a radically transparent and honest payments solution that flat out saves business owners money, all while treating them like human beings.

How Hiring Works

Apply with your resume, your portfolio (including motion work), and a cover letter addressing why you want to work with Helcim.

The hiring process; Four stages, start to finish.

  1. Recruiter screen. A call with our recruiter, about your experience and what you're looking for. We cover comp in full here.
  2. First round with Rodolfo, our Director of Design, and the person this role reports to.
  3. Case study. A take-home built on a day in the life in this role. We'll make sure to cover in-depth what this looks like in the first round
  4. Coming back into the office to debrief with Rodolfo about the take home case study.

We read every application and you'll hear back either way.

How we work 📝 Four things we hold each other to: we build rather than wait, we take the harder path when it's the right one, we earn trust daily, and we get more done together than apart. The long version is our culture book, The Way of the Helcim.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
