A Little About You

You are a senior designer with a strong point of view and the craft to back it up. You think in systems and execute with precision, whether you're building out the visual identity for a new video series, animating a show open, or designing a newsletter that makes complex financial information feel sharp and inviting. You possess an AI-forward mindset—viewing emerging technology as an opportunity to automate manual execution, elevate your strategic oversight, and focus on high-impact visual storytelling. You'll join a small, close-knit design team reporting to the Creative Director of Yahoo Finance, working alongside fellow designers and in daily partnership with our video, product, social, and editorial teams.

Collaboration and leadership:

• Partner with the Creative Director and fellow designers on larger creative initiatives, contributing ideas and iterating quickly on feedback.

• Work cross-functionally with video, product, social, and editorial teams to deliver design that's right for each platform and audience.

• Provide guidance and mentorship to junior and mid-level designers, establishing best practices for prompt engineering, design validation, and ethical use of AI tools in daily production.

• Break down complex creative briefs and business requirements into structured action items so that multiple designers and editors can collaborate seamlessly.

Basic Qualifications:

• 5+ years of professional experience as a visual, brand, or motion designer, preferably in an agency, media, or tech environment.

• A strong professional portfolio demonstrating a high-level mastery of typography, layout, visual systems, and motion graphics.

• Advanced expertise in standard design software including Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop).

• Proven experience utilizing AI-assisted design features (such as Adobe Firefly and Figma AI) to streamline workflows, prototype ideas rapidly, and build complex layouts.

• Ability to work independently with minimal guidance in complex, fast-moving environments while leading small project phases.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in a fast-paced editorial, digital news, or financial media publication.

• Advanced knowledge of web motion standards, vector animation, and scalable design templates.

• Demonstrated ability to validate, refine, and quality-check AI-generated visual outputs (e.g., fixing artifacting, maintaining strict brand voice, resolving stylistic inconsistencies) to meet professional publishing standards.
