Red Ventures Growth Transformation (RVGT) team is seeking a Creative Manager and critical thinker to join our growing Creative Team. You'll play an instrumental role in developing core consumer-facing products for external partnerships within the Financial Institution space, while also managing a team of product, or content designers. This role calls for a passionate individual who is highly skilled in creative problem solving, user-centered design processes, foundational knowledge in both UX and UI design, comfort in pitching work to senior level stakeholders, history of leading creatives, a curiosity in all things AI and a thorough understanding of UX research practices.

The right candidate for this role will be highly organized and collaborative, with a passion for solving problems cross-functionally and a natural leader of a team. You’ll wear many hats, incorporating user-centered content, user data and insights along with UX research into the design solutions you craft. But you won’t do it alone — you’ll have a collaborative cross-disciplinary team of product managers and software engineers alongside you, and access to a strong Creative organization in broader Red Ventures.

Travel to partner locations is an expected component of this role to support relationship management and business objectives.
