QUICK SUMMARY Scale Kin’s brand across every channel: ads, landing pages, email, and video. Part production, part brand evolution, overall a generalist, for a company redefining homeownership.

THE OPPORTUNITY As a generalist in brand and visual design, you’ll help us scale Kin’s brand as our marketing grows and our business evolves. Our output has expanded fast, and we need a designer who can productionize high-quality visual work across the channels and campaigns that bring homeowners to Kin. This is a pivotal moment to join. Kin is repositioning from a home insurance company into a suite of products that make homeownership easier, which means new markets, new product launches, and new media channels. You’ll shape how all of it looks and feels to customers. Your work will influence the moments before a homeowner ever gets a quote: the ads, pages, and campaigns that build trust and make a growing set of products feel like one clear, confident offering. Along the way, you’ll help raise the bar for how visual design shows up across the team. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES - Design and productionize high-quality visual assets across every marketing channel: paid social, landing pages, lifecycle and email, organic social, and display. - Produce and edit video content for marketing and brand campaigns, from social cuts to longer-form pieces, and raise the bar for how Kin shows up in motion. - Own the visual execution of campaigns end to end, turning briefs from marketing and growth into polished, on-brand work that ships on deadline. - Partner with copywriters, growth marketers, and external vendors and agencies to bring concepts to life and keep quality consistent across every touchpoint. - Push Kin’s brand forward in your day-to-day work, not just executing briefs but evolving the visual language and proposing fresh directions as you go. - Shape Kin’s evolving visual language as we reposition from home insurance to a broader homeownership platform, so a growing set of products feels like one coherent brand. - Design and iterate on landing pages built for A/B testing, and use the results to sharpen what works. - Partner with our Brand Design and Design Systems leads to push and grow Kin’s brand design system, extending it into new areas as the brand evolves. SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE In your first 6–12 months at Kin, success is less about checking boxes and more about the impact you create. You’ll use your skills and judgment to take ownership of meaningful work, improve how we operate, and help move Kin’s mission forward. Along the way, you’ll deliver outcomes that make a real difference for both Kinfolk and the homeowners we serve. By the end of your first year, you should feel confident in your role, trusted as an owner, and proud of the progress you’ve helped make. - You've defined your own way of working with marketing, growth, and other partners, turning open space into a repeatable process the team can rely on. - Marketing ships campaigns faster because you’ve productionized the visual work and built reusable assets and templates. - Kin’s brand looks noticeably more consistent and polished across every channel than it did before you joined. - The visual language for Kin’s repositioning beyond home insurance has taken shape and is showing up in live campaigns. - Landing page A/B tests driven by your design work have measurably improved conversion. WHAT YOU’LL BRING - 5+ years of visual design experience in a brand or marketing context, with a portfolio that shows polished work across digital channels. - Proven ability to produce and edit video content for marketing campaigns, from short social cuts to longer-form pieces, including light animation for end cards and in-video overlays. - Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite (including Premiere Pro and AfterEffects for video) and Figma. - Experience designing for paid social, landing pages, and lifecycle/email, with an understanding of what makes each channel perform. - A self-starter who can work across multiple mediums and manage several projects at once without heavy direction. - Experience designing landing pages for A/B testing and iterating based on results. Bonus if you have - Illustration skills - Motion graphics experience HOW WE HIRE We believe a great hiring experience should be clear, respectful, and human.
