About Ramp
Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $200B in annualized spend flows in and out of 70,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.
The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.
The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.
If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Principal Brand Designer to define the brand design system that takes Ramp into new futures. You’ll turn our strategy into design, lead our most important brand projects, and help the team do its best work.
This is a leadership individual contributor role. You can take any idea from zero to one. You understand the business fundamentals, the product value, the channels that perform best, and you know where brand design amplifies and improves the work. You understand each XFN’s accountability and outcomes, from product, marketing, GTM, growth and beyond. You can speak their language.
- Set creative direction. Turn business goals and audience insights into clear ideas for the brand.
- Lead company-defining projects. Take campaigns, launches, and other brand experiences from an open question to finished work.
- Set the bar for quality and taste. You are the go-to expert for typography, imagery, layout, and brand design. You are the champion for this standard.
- Build the brand system. Evolve our visual identity over time. We believe in coherency over consistency. We built our brand system to behave like jazz.
- Connect brand and product. Work with product, marketing, and engineering so the company feels coherent wherever people experience it.
- Raise the quality of the team’s work. You are a player-coach that can mentor others and develop a culture of collaboration, creativity, and trust.
- Tell stories to drive alignment. Help partners understand the thinking, agree on a direction, and make practical choices about scope and timing.
What makes you stand out
- You’re already using AI tooling and agents to explore faster, iterate sooner, and develop ideas that you couldn’t before.
- You have both agency and in-house experience.
- You have side hobbies exploring design and creativity. We want to see side projects that show a desire for learning, a student-like mindset, and above all, enthusiasm for where the future is headed.
- You’re humble, thoughtful, and self-aware.
- Your portfolio reveals a story about how you’ve grown as a person, your interests, and curiosities.
- You understand that execution is how good ideas win.
What you’ll bring
- A deep portfolio of brand identities, marketing campaigns, bringing brand into product experiences, and digital applications, with a clear explanation of your contribution.
- Excellent design fundamentals and the ability to carry an idea through to finished work.
- Experience leading complex projects independently and making good decisions when the brief is still taking shape.
- The ability to negotiate, compromise, or understand trade-offs with executives and XFN partners.
- The ability to connect creative choices to the audience, the product, and the business.
- A record of helping other designers improve and working well with people across disciplines.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Brand Designer
Lead with your portfolio, not your resume
Visa sponsors in design evaluate portfolio quality before credentials. A cohesive portfolio showing brand systems, identity work, and cross-channel execution signals the specialized expertise employers need to justify an H-1B specialty occupation petition.
Target companies with dedicated in-house brand teams
Large tech, e-commerce, and consumer brands with in-house creative departments sponsor far more frequently than agencies. These employers have established immigration infrastructure and are more familiar with the H-1B process for design roles.
Frame your degree as field-specific, not general
H-1B approval for brand designers hinges on demonstrating specialty occupation status. A degree in graphic design, visual communication, or UX carries more weight than a general arts degree when USCIS evaluates whether the role requires specialized knowledge.
Quantify the business impact of your brand work
Sponsoring employers need to justify the petition internally. Case studies showing how your brand work drove measurable outcomes, such as improved conversion or brand recognition, make the business case for sponsorship easier for hiring managers to champion.
Understand the H-1B lottery timeline before you apply
H-1B registration opens in March with an April 1 fiscal year start. If you need sponsorship for an October start date, you must be selected in the spring lottery. Australian citizens should consider the E-3 visa as a lottery-free alternative.
Browse visa-sponsoring brand design roles on Migrate Mate
Not every job posting discloses sponsorship willingness upfront. Migrate Mate filters for employers who have sponsored visas before, saving you from applying to roles where sponsorship was never an option before you even sent your portfolio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does brand design qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, brand design can qualify, but the petition requires careful framing. USCIS looks for evidence that the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. A job description demanding expertise in brand systems, visual communication, or graphic design, supported by a matching degree, strengthens the specialty occupation argument significantly over a generalist creative role.
What degree do I need to get an H-1B sponsored as a brand designer?
A bachelor's degree in graphic design, visual communication, brand strategy, or a closely related field is the strongest credential for H-1B visa sponsorship in this role. A general fine arts degree can work if your coursework and experience are demonstrably design-specific. USCIS may issue an RFE if the degree-to-role connection is not clearly documented in the petition.
Are there visa options for brand designers that don't involve the H-1B lottery?
Australian citizens can apply for an E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a 10,500 annual cap that has never been exhausted. Designers with an exceptional body of work, including major awards, published recognition, or high-profile brand campaigns, may qualify for an O-1A visa based on extraordinary ability. Both paths bypass the H-1B lottery entirely.
How can I find brand design jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Most job postings don't explicitly state sponsorship willingness, which makes filtering difficult on general platforms. Migrate Mate focuses specifically on roles where employers have a documented history of sponsoring work visas, so you can browse brand designer openings without wasting applications on companies that won't sponsor. It's the most direct way to find verified sponsorship opportunities in design.
Do agencies or in-house brand teams sponsor more often?
In-house brand teams at established companies sponsor considerably more often than agencies. Large tech companies, consumer brands, and media companies have HR and legal infrastructure set up for immigration petitions. Agencies tend to have high turnover, tighter margins, and less familiarity with the sponsorship process, making them less reliable sponsors for international brand designers.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Brand Designer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
