This person must have a strong background in brand architecture, craft, and design thinking, with a proven track record of working on integrated efforts. You must be comfortable working across many media touchpoints and creating rigorous design systems. You’re a conceptual thinker who can bring ideas to life in new and inspiring ways—and when you decide to make something, you see your vision from concept to launch without any hand-holding. In this role, you’ll work specifically and closely with the Design team to build out brand foundations and scalable toolkits that enable best-in-class campaigns and activations across channels. You’ll translate strategy into clear design systems, templates, and guidelines that help teams move fast while keeping the family of apps brand consistent, expressive, and culturally relevant at global scale.
Responsibilities:
- Build and evolve timeless brand foundations for Instagram, grounded in strategic brand thinking, strong craft, and clear design principles.
- Create scalable brand systems, behaviors, and toolkits (templates, guidelines, components, asset frameworks) that enable campaigns and activations across channels.
- Develop original, breakthrough design concepts across a range of marketing touchpoints—balancing expressive exploration with system rigor.
- Be deeply hands-on from start to finish: sketch, explore, prototype, design, refine, and deliver final work with a high bar for detail and quality.
- Own projects end-to-end—driving creative development, managing feedback cycles, and ensuring work ships on time and on brand.
- Present work clearly and persuasively, using strong storytelling to explain strategy, tradeoffs, and craft decisions; influence and align stakeholders.
- Partner cross-functionally with creatives, researchers, product managers, product marketers, and engineers—and collaborate with agencies/production as needed—to serve a global audience.
- Break down complex narratives into simple, compelling brand expressions that communicate intent, value, and cultural relevance.
- Contribute to a positive, curious team culture by bringing energy, experimentation, and a sense of fun to the creative process while continuously raising the bar through feedback and critique.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of experience in brand design, marketing design, or advertising, with demonstrated ownership of large-scale, multi-channel campaigns and/or integrated brand systems.
- Proven experience defining, evolving, and scaling visual identity systems for consumer-facing products or global brands—translating strategy into usable guidelines and toolkits.
- Strong portfolio showing high craft across digital and social marketing, with experience extending design systems into campaigns, activations, and multi-format expressions.
- Experience leading creative workstreams end-to-end and partnering cross-functionally to align stakeholders, incorporate feedback, and deliver work that ships.
- Exceptional communication skills, with a track record of influencing creative strategy and design decisions through presentations, narratives, and clear design rationale.
- Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, with the ability to produce exploration, high-fidelity design, and presentation-ready assets.
- Portfolio demonstrating a range of work with clear outcomes (brand impact, business impact, or measurable performance where applicable).
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience working across both product and marketing contexts, able to translate product strategy into clear brand systems and expressive campaign work.
- Motion design skills (or strong motion partnership experience) to extend brand systems into animation, transitions, and dynamic storytelling.
- Experience designing for technology platforms that span multiple surfaces and constraints (e.g., consumer hardware, wearables, or hardware + software ecosystems).
- Experience with immersive or emerging formats (e.g., AR/VR, spatial/3D, interactive experiences) as part of brand or marketing creative.
- Demonstrated ability to create global-ready frameworks that scale across markets, localization needs, and diverse cultural contexts without losing brand integrity.
- Strong collaboration with adjacent disciplines (motion, photography, production, creative technologists) and comfort incorporating new tools/AI workflows to deliver integrated, multi-format systems.
- Proven ability to operate effectively in highly ambiguous problem spaces—bringing structure, options, and momentum when the path isn’t defined.

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.
