## Job description

## Who We Are

Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, [Booking.com](http://Booking.com), H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.

In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

As Senior Marketing Design Manager at Imprint, you will lead a small team of designers while owning the creative execution of co branded card programs from brief to production. This is a player coach role, you'll be hands on with design work while also guiding, developing, and setting the bar for the designers on your team. You will act as the primary creative partner to brand and product stakeholders, translating partner briefs into compelling visual presentations, defending design rationale, and ensuring every card program reflects the brand promise of both Imprint and its partners. You'll also be responsible for the quality and consistency of your team's output, coaching them through critique and helping them grow as designers. This role blends hands on design execution, people leadership, and program level thinking. You understand how a card fits within a digital wallet, a mobile app, and a partner's broader identity, and how to build production ready mechanicals that meet the specialized requirements of credit card manufacturing. Just as importantly, you know how to build that same fluency in the designers you lead. What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days
