We're looking for a Brand Designer with exceptional craft, strong taste, and the range to create standout marketing work across channels. You'll bring Plaid's brand to life across paid and organic social, email, web, events, sales enablement, and more, while building the creative systems and tools that help our team deliver great work at scale.

Responsibilities
- Create exceptional brand and marketing design across channels, with a high bar for typography, composition, visual storytelling, and detail.

- Strong command of typography, composition, hierarchy, image-making, and brand systems, with the judgment to create polished work from concept through final execution.
- Deep Figma expertise, including building components, templates, and systems that are flexible, intuitive, and maintain a high creative bar at scale.
- Hands-on fluency with AI, automation, or emerging creative tools, and strong judgment about when they improve the work versus when human design craft matters more.
- A systems-minded problem solver who can bring structure to complex workflows without overengineering them, with strong communication, collaboration, and ownership skills. A degree in design or a related field is a plus, but not required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Brand Designer
Align your portfolio to specialty occupation standards
USCIS evaluates whether a role genuinely requires a degree in a directly related field. Structure your portfolio to show strategic brand systems work, not just executional output, so the employer's specialty occupation case is watertight.
Search employers with verified LCA filing histories
Migrate Mate lists employers with confirmed H-1B LCA sponsorship history searchable by role and city, so you're targeting companies that have already proven willingness to sponsor creative positions, not guessing from job descriptions.
Check prevailing wage tiers before accepting an offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your specific work location before negotiations. The LCA must certify your offered wage meets or exceeds that figure, and a low offer can delay or complicate filing.
Document degree equivalency for three-year qualifications
If you hold a three-year design degree, get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before your employer files. USCIS accepts equivalent qualifications, but the employer needs that evaluation in hand before submitting the LCA.
Push for LCA filing before your OPT expires
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employer needs to file the H-1B petition before your EAD expires. Brand design roles often involve slow internal hiring approvals, so flag the cap and selection timeline to HR as early as possible.
Clarify the job title on the LCA matches your actual duties
Employers sometimes use broad internal titles like 'Designer' on the LCA when your role is senior-level. Misalignment between your title and duties can trigger a Request for Evidence from USCIS, so confirm the LCA reflects your seniority accurately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Brand Designer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. Senior Brand Designer positions typically require at least a bachelor's degree in graphic design, visual communications, or a closely related field, which satisfies the specialty occupation definition USCIS applies. Roles that involve brand strategy, design systems, and cross-functional creative leadership strengthen the case further. If the job description lists a degree as preferred rather than required, work with your employer to tighten the language before the LCA is filed.
Which visas can cover a Senior Brand Designer working in the U.S.?
The H-1B is the most common path, covering up to three years initially with extensions to six. Australian nationals can use the E-3 visa, which has a separate cap and no lottery. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under TN visa if the role maps to an eligible USMCA profession. F-1 graduates can work via OPT or STEM OPT if the degree is in a qualifying STEM field, with STEM OPT requiring the employer to be enrolled in E-Verify.
How can I find Senior Brand Designer jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate shows verified employers with LCA filing histories for creative and design roles, so you can focus your search on companies that have already sponsored similar positions rather than relying on job description language that isn't binding.
Does my employer need to file a PERM labor certification for H-1B sponsorship?
No. PERM is required for most employment-based green card categories, specifically EB-2 and EB-3, not for H-1B status. For H-1B, your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL and then an I-129 petition with USCIS. PERM only becomes relevant if your employer later sponsors you for permanent residence.
Can a Senior Brand Designer self-petition for a green card without employer sponsorship?
It's possible but uncommon for this role. The EB-1A extraordinary ability category allows self-petition, but requires evidence of sustained national or international acclaim in the field. The EB-2 National Interest Waiver is another self-petition route, though creative roles have a harder time meeting the national importance standard. Most Senior Brand Designers pursue green cards through employer-sponsored EB-2 or EB-3 categories, which require PERM labor certification.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior 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.
