About Vouch:

Insurance... sounds slow, old-fashioned, and unexciting. Exactly. Insurance is broken, and it's failing fast-moving, innovative startups.

Vouch is a new, technology-first insurance company backed with $160M in funding from world-class investors. Like Stripe for payments or Brex for credit cards, Vouch is creating the go-to business insurance for high-growth companies.

We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our customers -high growth and innovative companies. Instead of printed PDF applications and week-long waits, Vouch is building new technology to solve real problems, writing policies that actually cover relevant startup scenarios, and designing simple experiences in an otherwise frustrating industry.


What does a work environment look like at Vouch?

Vouch has a 3-HQ model: Office-Based, Office-Linked, and Remote-First. This role is Remote-First, which means that team members can work from anywhere in the U.S. so long as they can work during Vouch core collaboration hours (9 am-3 pm PT Mon-Fri).


About the Role: 

“Brand” is one of Vouch’s key differentiators. As the first dedicated designer on Vouch’s marketing team, you’ll be charged with producing a wide-range of marketing assets and campaigns while maintaining an extremely high-bar for brand-alignment and visual design quality. We are considering candidates with a wide range of experience and career levels. We will adjust title to reflect your experience and seniority as part of the interview and offer process.


Job Duties: 

  • Design new marketing assets, including print projects (brochures, sales sheets, booklets, etc), communications projects (presentations, reports) and digital touchpoints (websites, landing pages, digital ads).
  • Manage illustrators, photographers and other creative contributors in the creation of new on-brand visuals that accomplish specific communication goals. (Art Direction)
  • Participate in an internal process for prioritizing, scoping, executing and launching new assets to internal stakeholders and the public.
  • Collaborate with Vouch’s Creative Director in the continued evolution of the Vouch brand, brand strategy, and execution of ambitious marketing campaigns. 


About you:

  • Deep experience in the design of both print and digital projects and expertise in all relevant tools (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Figma/Sketch). 
  • Expertise in traditional graphic design methods, including information hierarchy, typography, grid systems, page layout, etc.  
  • Some experience in Art Direction, specifically working with artists, photographers or illustrators in the creation of on-brand visuals to achieve messaging goals.  
  • Proficiency in photo compositing, modification and retouching (PhotoShop) for the purposes of prototyping and creating reference imagery for illustrators. 
  • Aptitude for simplifying complex subject matter (insurance and tech), refining copy/messaging based on design constraints, and delivering work that is clear, understandable and persuasive. 
  • Practiced in a structured process for moving projects from concept to completion, including discrete steps for gathering of requirements, brief creation, stakeholder alignment, wireframing, oversight of other contributors (copywriters, illustrators, photographers, etc) and execution of visual design. 


Nice to have:

  • Experience planning and managing photoshoots. 
  • Experience contributing to or managing motion graphics or video projects.
  • Experience in brand strategy and executive communication.
  • Experience in establishment of new creative direction and brand identity systems.
