About Altruist

Altruist is transforming the multi-trillion dollar wealth management industry by building an AI platform for wealth professionals. We partner with financial advisors nationwide, empowering them to grow, optimize time and resources, and deliver superior outcomes for their clients.

We're looking for exceptional talent to help us achieve our mission of making financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to all. If you're passionate about challenging the status quo and want to do the most important work of your life, we'd love to meet you!

But first, our values

Kindness - Kindness doesn’t just equal niceness. We listen to understand. We embrace, and encourage healthy debate and diverse perspectives. We approach conflict openly, honestly, and respectfully.
Brilliance - Humility is the skill we’re most proud of and possessing a growth mindset is always top of mind. We take ownership in everything we touch; regularly using our unique superpowers to reach a common goal as a team. We succeed and fail as one.
Grit - When challenges arise, we stay laser focused on achieving our mission and finding a way forward, even when it’s hard. We are nimble and maintain a sense of urgency, swiftly adapting to change and overcoming obstacles.

The opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Brand Designer to lead the visual evolution of Altruist across its entire ecosystem. This is not a support role. It’s a leadership role within brand responsible for shaping how our products show up across product surfaces, launches, campaigns, motion, storytelling, and emerging experiences.

The ideal candidate thinks quickly, designs thoughtfully, and pushes work beyond the obvious. They bring impeccable taste, a sharp point of view, and a deep understanding of contemporary design — while also knowing when restraint is the most powerful move. This designer will collaborate with product designers, motion designers, illustrators, and cross-functional teams to bring new ideas to life across the Altruist surfaces. This role operates as a thought partner to Creative Leadership on new Altruist initiatives and long-term brand direction.

What you'll do

  • Lead the visual design and ongoing evolution of the Altruist brand
  • Define and expand Altruist’s design language across product marketing, launches, web, campaigns, and in-product brand moments
  • Partner closely with Product Design to influence UX direction and ensure cohesive brand expression
  • Collaborate with motion designers and illustrators to create immersive, forward-looking experiences
  • Translate complex products  into clear, elegant visual storytelling
  • Explore and responsibly integrate emerging tools and technologies into the creative workflow
  • Contribute to early-stage concepting for new Altruist initiatives and product expansions
  • Uphold and elevate craft standards across every touchpoint

What you bring

  • 6–8+ years of brand design experience, ideally including product-adjacent work
  • A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft, strong systems thinking, and modern sensibility
  • Experience shaping or evolving a product-focused brand
  • Fluency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite; bonus points for motion literacy
  • Strong understanding of current visual trends and digital culture
  • Ability to think conceptually and execute with precision
  • Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
  • Strong collaboration skills and the confidence to influence cross-functional partners

This role is a fit if...

  • You move fast without sacrificing craft
  • You care deeply about typography, hierarchy, interaction, and nuance
  • You experiment intelligently and push ideas forward
  • You can zoom out to system-level thinking and zoom in to pixel-level detail

What success looks like

  • Altruist has a distinctive, forward-looking visual identity that feels cohesive across product and brand
  • Creative output feels modern, intelligent, and unmistakably premium
  • Product and brand teams operate as a unified design force

  • One month work from anywhere policy (with the exception of a few countries).

Total compensation includes a competitive benefits package, along with equity in the form of Stock Options (ISOs) for eligible roles. For salaried positions, a salary offer will be determined by a number of factors including experience, skill level, internal pay equity, geographic location, and other relevant business considerations. We review all employee pay and compensation programs regularly to ensure fair, equitable, and competitive pay. At Altruist, we are committed to providing fair, equitable, and competitive compensation by leveraging market data to inform our pay bands. Base salaries will be reviewed at regular intervals throughout the year, typically in conjunction with performance review cycles. By evaluating compensation on a regular basis, we are able to reward high performance and ensure all employees have opportunities for growth.

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Altruist we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role, but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
