Visual Designer / Design Generalist
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 30, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 20, 2026.
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 you'll own
High-quality visual assets for paid ads, social media, website, email, and marketing campaigns
Conversion-focused creative concepts and iterations for promotions and performance marketing
Support for active design projects and overflow work across the design and growth teams
Visuals for landing pages, websites, product launches, presentations, and brand materials
Consistent application of Pocket’s visual identity across channels and formats
Fast adaptation of creative work across different markets, campaigns, platforms, and audiences
Collaboration with Growth, Marketing, Product, and senior designers to turn briefs into polished visual output
Where relevant, lightweight video edits, motion content, and animated assets
Organized design files, reusable assets, and workflows that help the team work faster over time
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
