The opportunity
We’re hiring a Designer who wants to do more than make things look good — you want to define how a category leader shows up in the world. This is a high-impact creative role where you’ll shape the visual identity of the top prop trading firm in crypto, helping us build a brand that feels as fast, sharp, and forward-thinking as the industry itself.
You’ll concept and create work across every channel we touch — from paid ads to high-conversion landing pages to social content that stops people mid-scroll. You’ll partner closely with our in-house copywriter and our network of freelance creatives to bring ideas to life, test bold new directions, and scale a performance engine that thrives on experimentation.
If you’re a designer who loves moving quickly, pushing creative boundaries, and seeing your work directly influence business outcomes, this is the place to do your best work.
- Define and evolve the visual identity of Breakout, ensuring everything we create looks cohesive, modern, and unmistakably “us.”
- Concept and design high-performing assets for performance channels like Meta, TikTok, X, YouTube, Google, and programmatic.
- Create visually compelling organic and community content for X, Discord, Reddit, and more.
- Design for owned spaces including the marketing site, landing pages, and visual components of lifecycle communications like email.
- Collaborate with the in-house copywriter to generate fresh creative concepts, angles, and campaign ideas.
- Produce test-ready asset variations at scale to power a high-velocity growth marketing program.
- Bring new visual ideas to the table ( new formats, new directions, new templates) and iterate quickly based on performance insights.
- Ensure Breakout’s visual identity remains consistent, elevated, and aligned with our brand as the company grows.
Skills you should HODL
- 4+ years of design experience, ideally in a startup, fintech, or high-growth digital environment.
- A portfolio that demonstrates strong taste, composition, typography, and the ability to make digital work feel both strategic and alive.
- Fluent designing for performance and brand across channels like Meta, TikTok, X, YouTube, Google, and more.
- Comfortable producing multiple asset variations quickly (not just one-off designs) and iterating based on data.
- Collaborative, curious, and energized by working with copywriters, marketers, and creative partners.
- Highly organized with a strong attention to detail, especially when moving fast.
- Excited by global, fast-moving industries and the chance to build the visual language for a category-defining company.
