ABOUT THE ROLE
We're building one of the most recognized brands in adtech, fast. That means we need a designer who can hold a strong creative point of view, move at speed, and make things that actually perform. This role lives at the intersection of brand identity, growth marketing, event branding, and campaign creative; touching everything from the systems that define how we look, to the landing pages that drive conversion, to the experiences we create in the real world. This person must be located in the West Coast/PT time zone.
ABOUT YOU
- You're a self-starter: optimistic, flexible, and just as comfortable owning a project solo as you are collaborating with a team.
- You value people and the work equally: you understand that great creative comes from great collaboration.
- You find genuine satisfaction in solving problems: not just making things look good, but making them work better.
- You're obsessed with the details: typography, hierarchy, and craft matter to you at every scale.
- You communicate clearly: you can talk about your work with confidence and take feedback without taking it personally.
- You're curious about how the business works: because understanding the story helps you tell it better visually.
- You thrive in fast-moving environments and know how to set the bar rather than just meet it.
- Design and scale brand systems across digital and physical touchpoints: ensuring consistency without sacrificing craft.
- Create growth marketing assets including landing pages, display ads, and campaign visuals: with a clear understanding of what drives conversion.
- Develop original illustration and conceptual work that brings brand narratives to life across campaigns.
- Collaborate closely with the Creative Director, Sr. Brand Designers, Web Art Director, Web Designers, and Video Art Director and Video Designers, as well as cross-functional stakeholders to move work from concept to production.
- Iterate rapidly based on feedback: exploring multiple creative directions without losing clarity on the goal.
- Help maintain and evolve brand standards documentation as the brand grows and matures.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 3-4 years of brand design experience in a fast-paced in-house or agency environment.
- Experience designing for growth marketing: landing pages, paid media, and performance campaigns: with an understanding of how design affects outcomes.
- Fluency in Figma and comfort working within, and pushing, an established brand system.
- A portfolio that shows a distinct visual point of view: work that goes beyond execution and demonstrates genuine creative thinking.
- Strong illustration skills and experience developing conceptual visual narratives for campaigns.
- Mastery of core design principles: typography, composition, hierarchy, and scale.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver at pace without sacrificing quality.
NICE TO HAVE
- Motion design or animation experience.
- Experience in tech, adtech, or B2B brand environments.
- Comfort working with developers and an understanding of web production constraints.
- Familiarity with AI-powered creative tools and curiosity about how they fit into a modern design workflow.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Brand Designer
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates whether Brand Designer roles require theoretical and practical application of a specific discipline. Frame your portfolio around systems thinking, brand architecture, and strategic design decisions, not just visual output, to support the specialty occupation argument.
Search DOL LCA data before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter Brand Designer roles by employers with active H-1B LCA filing history. This surfaces companies already set up to sponsor, cutting time spent on employers who've never filed a Labor Condition Application for design roles.
Target in-house brand teams over agencies
Agencies often classify designers as contractors or use project-based engagements that don't support H-1B petitions. In-house brand teams at product companies, financial firms, and tech employers are more likely to offer full-time roles with employer-sponsored petitions.
Verify your prevailing wage tier before negotiating
DOL assigns Brand Designer roles to wage levels based on experience and supervisory responsibilities. Use the OFLC Wage Search to confirm the Level I through Level IV wage for your metro area before accepting an offer, so you know the LCA-certified floor your employer must meet.
Request premium processing if your start date is fixed
Standard USCIS adjudication can run several months. If you're transitioning from OPT or CPT with a hard end date, ask your employer to file Form I-907 for premium processing, which upgrades adjudication to 15 business days and reduces status-gap risk.
Document degree equivalency for three-year programs
If your design degree is a three-year international qualification, get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization before your employer files. USCIS frequently issues Requests for Evidence on degree equivalency for design roles, and a strong evaluation upfront prevents processing delays.

Find Brand Designer JobsBrand Designer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Brand Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as graphic design, visual communication, or fine arts. Generic roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field can face USCIS scrutiny. Your employer's job description should specify the required discipline and connect your degree directly to the role's core responsibilities.
Which types of employers sponsor H-1B visas for Brand Designer roles?
In-house brand and creative teams at technology companies, financial services firms, consumer goods companies, and large healthcare organizations are the most consistent sponsors. These employers run the H-1B process through internal HR or immigration counsel. Browsing Brand Designer listings on Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for employers with documented H-1B LCA filing history in design occupations.
What O*NET classification applies to Brand Designer roles, and why does it matter?
Brand Designers typically fall under the O*NET classification for Graphic Designers or Art Directors, depending on the scope of the role. Your employer's LCA must match the Standard Occupational Classification code to the actual duties you perform. A mismatch between your job title and the O*NET code can trigger a USCIS Request for Evidence during adjudication.
Can I switch Brand Designer jobs while on H-1B status?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules you can change employers after your H-1B has been approved and you've been in valid H-1B status for at least 180 days, provided the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before your current status expires, and you can start working once the transfer petition receipt is issued.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect my timeline as a Brand Designer candidate?
Most Brand Designer roles at for-profit companies are subject to the annual H-1B cap of 65,000 regular slots plus 20,000 master's cap exemptions. USCIS opens electronic registration each March, with selections typically announced by late March. If selected, your employer files the full petition between April and June for an October 1 start. Roles at universities, nonprofits, or government research organizations are cap-exempt and can be filed year-round.
