Daffy is a mission-driven organization focused on helping people be more generous, more often. We're looking for an experienced Contract Marketing Designer to join our team during our busiest stretch of the year: the end-of-year giving season.
You'll take ownership of high-visibility marketing work, including our annual Year in Review, key landing pages, paid campaigns, and a new set of reusable templates and systems our team can continue using in 2027.
We're looking for someone who can take a brief, quickly understand the goal, develop strong creative, and get polished work out the door without a lot of hand-holding.
Engagement: Contract, approximately 30 hours/week, November – February. We’d ideally have you start as soon as possible, with an overlap with our in-house designer before their parental leave.
What You'll Work On
This is a hands-on role spanning both consumer and business marketing. You’ll work closely with our VP of Marketing and wider marketing team on projects including:
- Owning the design of our annual Year in Review
- Designing and refreshing key marketing and campaign landing pages
- Developing paid acquisition creative across channels and audiences
- Creating campaign concepts, illustrations, and social assets
- Designing presentations, one-pagers, and sales/partner materials
- Building reusable templates and systems leveraging Figma and Claude that make it easier for our team to create great work independently
- Partnering with marketing and engineering to move work from concept through launch
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of marketing, brand, or visual design experience, ideally at a consumer fintech or high-growth venture-backed startup
- A strong portfolio demonstrating excellent visual judgment across web, campaigns, social, and presentations
- Fluency in building design systems in Figma and Claude, including preparing designs for engineering handoff
- Experience creating scalable templates and systems for non-designers
- Experience working within an established brand system while knowing when and how to push it forward
- The ability to work independently, move quickly, and turn ambiguous briefs into polished creative
- Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating closely with marketers, writers, engineers, and other stakeholders
Bonus Points
- Experience using AI tools to accelerate design exploration, production, or repetitive workflows
- Motion design or video experience
- Familiarity with financial services, charitable giving, employee benefits, or other complex products that require making information easy to understand
Location
Remote or Hybrid (Bay Area)
What's In It For You
- The opportunity to shape campaigns for one of the Top 10 donor-advised funds in the country, now managing over $2 billion in charitable assets.
- The chance to work with world-class founders, Adam Nash (Apple, eBay, LinkedIn, Wealthfront) and Alejandro Crosa (LinkedIn, Twitter, Slack), and a talented team united by a bold mission.
- A supportive, motivated team that cares deeply about our mission & our members.
