[Hiring] Art Director, Brand & Marketing Design @Finom

Role Description

Finom is building a brand that European entrepreneurs recognise and trust, and right now the visual side of that brand needs an owner. We are looking for an Art Director to lead our Marketing Design team and take ownership of Finom's visual identity end to end.

Your job will be twofold: raise the creative bar, and build the system that lets a team deliver at volume without the quality dropping. Your first months will be as much about diagnosis as creation: auditing the existing identity, understanding where the current team and workflows are working or falling short, and putting the foundations in place for what comes next.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will direct and mentor, and you will also design, setting the visual benchmark yourself, not just reviewing other people's work against it.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own Finom's visual identity (the brand system, guidelines, design systems and documentation) and drive consistent adoption across every team and touchpoint.
• Set and hold the creative bar. Shape visual direction across channels and make consistency and quality non-negotiable.
• Lead and develop the existing Marketing Design team, assess its capabilities and future shape.
• Define the design requirements for intake, briefing, prioritisation, SLAs and review.
• Design and direct high-quality visual and motion assets that bring the brand to life.
• Build the AI-native production pipeline: define where AI accelerates the work and what quality and brand-integrity gates it has to pass.
• Provide creative direction at the front of significant projects.
• Direct the creation of mood boards, design references, scamps, storyboards and animatics.
• Partner with Marketing, Product, copywriters and strategists to develop campaigns across digital-first channels.
• Own projects from concept through delivery, and run multiple parallel workstreams.
• Build and present creative work to senior stakeholders, articulating rationale clearly.
• Manage a flexible pool of freelance and external creative partners.
• Act as guardian of the visual identity while continuously pushing where the brand can be braver.

Qualifications

• A genuinely strong designer respected by peers.
• Strong design taste, able to articulate its impact on business.
• A builder of process as much as a maker of work.
• Customer-obsessed in how you approach brand.
• Comfortable with ambiguity.
• A generous leader who elevates people and gives direct feedback.
• Confident with senior stakeholders without becoming a bottleneck.

Requirements

• 8+ years as a graphic or brand designer, ideally in fast-moving, brand-led environments.
• 4+ years as a design leader with direct responsibility for a team of three or more.
• Experience building customer-facing technology brands or consumer digital products at scale.
• A track record of building and evolving brand systems across campaigns, products or businesses.
• A standout portfolio showing strategic thinking, creativity and polished execution.
• Clear examples of work where you led or directed other creatives.
• Demonstrated AI design fluency, with evidence of AI-native production.
• Experience creating scalable brand systems, templates, tools and guidelines.
• Expertise across Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma.
• A portfolio of shipped brand assets.
• Excellent communication skills and the judgement to influence at a senior level.
• Fluent English.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in fintech or financial services.
• Experience with sponsorship, partnership or event-led brand work at scale.
• Motion design depth, or experience directing motion specialists.
• Experience partnering closely with a product design function.
• Experience building and managing a freelance or external creative network.

Benefits

• Make a genuine impact on the product.
• Join our upward trajectory, and grow with us.
• Enjoy the flexibility of traveling and working remotely or in a hybrid model across Europe.
• Unlock your inner entrepreneur through our Stock Options Program.
• Receive unwavering support and care in a modern, friendly, and eco-conscious corporate culture.
• Immerse yourself in our exclusive Work & Swim Program in Cyprus.
