- Design, build, and maintain website assets and pages, partnering with marketing and engineering to keep our web presence polished, modern, and up to date.

- Collaborate with the product design team to accurately represent and market our product, highlighting key features, maintaining visual consistency, and ensuring product visuals reflect the real experience we deliver.
- Create event and office materials such as posters, signage, swag, and internal communications.
- Proactively identify opportunities to improve how Parafin shows up in the market, finding gaps in the brand system and proposing how to fill them before being asked.
What We’re Looking For
- 6+ years of visual/brand design experience
- A versatile brand and graphic designer with a strong portfolio spanning digital and print. Comfortable working across mediums: web, social, print, environmental, and motion.
- Experience owning a visual identity end-to-end, from brand strategy and ideation to execution and rollout.
- Experience leading or contributing to a rebrand or brand refresh.
- Strong proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), and AI tools in your design workflow.
- Excellent typography, layout, and composition skills with a sharp eye for detail.
- Familiarity with web design principles and asset handoff for digital production.
- Autonomous enough to take a brief and run with it, and strong enough as a communicator to present and defend creative decisions to stakeholders.
We Prefer If You Have
- Experience working on brand design in fintech, B2B SaaS, or financial services.
- Motion design or animation skills (After Effects, Lottie, etc.).
- Photography or art direction experience.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Brand Designer
Frame your portfolio around business outcomes
USCIS adjudicators evaluate whether your role requires specialized theoretical knowledge. Documenting how your brand systems drove measurable business results strengthens the specialty occupation argument your employer makes in the I-129 petition.
Verify your degree field maps correctly
A degree in fine arts or studio art can create friction in specialty occupation determinations. Pull the O*NET profile for Art Directors and Graphic Designers to confirm which degree fields DOL recognizes as directly related before your employer files.
Target employers with dedicated creative departments
In-house brand teams at mid-size and large companies file LCAs under clearer specialty occupation frameworks than agencies billing you to clients. Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history in design and creative roles.
Check the prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your job title and work location. Run your offer against the OFLC Wage Search using SOC code 27-1024 before signing anything, so you can flag a shortfall before filing begins.
Negotiate cap-gap protection into your start date
If you're transitioning from F-1 OPT, your employer should file your H-1B petition before your EAD expires. A timely filed petition extends your work authorization under cap-gap rules through September 30, bridging the gap until October 1 activation.
Request premium processing when brand timelines are tight
Brand launches, agency contracts, and creative leads often have hard project deadlines. USCIS premium processing guarantees a decision within 15 business days, which matters if your employer needs you in role before a major campaign or product release.
H-1B Visa Senior Brand Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Brand Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as graphic design, visual communications, or brand strategy. Generic creative roles where any degree satisfies the requirement can face scrutiny. The stronger your employer's job description ties the degree field to the specific work, the cleaner the specialty occupation determination.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Senior Brand Designer positions?
In-house creative teams at technology companies, consumer brands, financial services firms, and large healthcare organizations regularly sponsor H-1B visas for senior design roles. Advertising agencies also sponsor, though the specialty occupation case can be harder to make when you're billed to multiple clients. Browse verified H-1B sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate to identify companies with active LCA filing history in design and creative roles.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my job search timeline as a brand designer?
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for the following fiscal year starting October 1. If you're selected in the lottery, your employer files the full petition by June. That means you should ideally have an offer and employer commitment by February to meet the registration window. Missing the lottery means waiting another full year unless your employer qualifies as cap-exempt.
Can my employer file an H-1B for a fully remote Senior Brand Designer role?
Yes, but the LCA must list every worksite location where you'll perform work, including your home address if you work remotely from there. DOL requires the prevailing wage to be set at the wage level for your actual work location, not the employer's headquarters. If you move to a different metropolitan area, your employer may need to file an amended petition.
What documentation should I prepare before my employer starts the H-1B filing process?
Gather your degree transcripts and diploma, any credential evaluations if your degree is from outside the U.S., a current resume with employer verification letters for any specialized experience, and copies of prior visa approvals or status documents. If your degree is in a tangential field, a credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization explaining the equivalency to a U.S. design degree strengthens the specialty occupation argument.
