In 2002, we became the first insurance comparison site. Our purpose? To make the process of sorting your insurance, utilities or personal finances as easy as possible.

We’re part of RVU. A group of online brands that include Uswitch, Tempcover and money.co.uk. As a group, we use our shared knowledge to empower people, and help them make decisions confidently across a range of household services.

Confused.com is at the cutting edge of the FinTech industry, so we’re always looking for extraordinary talent. If you love what you do, get in touch today!

We’re looking for a bold and creative Staff Visual Designer to help bring the Confused.com brand to life across digital channels (specifically YouTube, Meta, Pmax, Demand Gen, TikTok - using video, animation and static ads). This is a hands-on, senior-level design role focused on turning our brand platform into high-performing, visually impactful communication across acquisition, retention and reactivation campaigns.

Reporting into our Head of Advertising, you’ll be working closely with brand and performance marketing teams, as well as content, product design, and research teams to develop engaging creative that’s grounded in our brand, optimised for performance, and consistent across platforms.

What you'll be doing

• Own the creation of digital advertising across our video, animation and static imagery
• Bringing our brand to life in digital channels, bringing clarity, energy and personality to every design creative execution.
• Collaborate with marketing, content and performance teams to deliver creative that drives acquisition, engagement, and trust.
• Influence the evolution of our design system, working closely with the Head of Design and Head of Advertising to identify gaps or opportunities based on campaign needs - without compromising system consistency or accessibility.
• Deliver campaign creative at pace, working from early concepts to final assets across digital placements.
• Contribute to creative workshops and reviews, shaping the visual tone and raising the bar for marketing design across the business.
• Champion craft, brand coherence, and attention to detail, ensuring everything we ship feels purposeful, polished, and on-brand.

What we're looking for

• Strong portfolio of hands-on visual design work across digital marketing and brand campaigns, especially within performance or growth-led teams.
• Expert in translating brand strategy into high-impact creative assets across video, animation and static imagery.
• Confident working within — and constructively influencing — design systems without undermining their intent.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite; with video, motion and animation skills.
• Strong grasp of layout, typography, colour, visual hierarchy and digital advertising design principles.
• Collaborative and proactive communicator — able to take a brief, explore creative routes, and present design rationale clearly to stakeholders.
• Commercially aware, with experience designing for conversion, clickthrough, engagement or other performance KPIs.
• Experience working in fast-paced environments with cross-functional teams (product, marketing, content, dev).
• A curiosity for trends in digital design, brand expression, and performance marketing.

Our commitment to you:

At RVU, we are dedicated to developing valuable, inclusive, and user-friendly products and services that deliver positive outcomes for all of our customers. To achieve this it’s essential that our teams reflect the diverse range of people in our community. We believe in being the change we wish to see in the world, by embracing our differences and holding ourselves accountable to being open and inclusive teammates and wider community members.

• 10% discretionary yearly bonus and yearly pay reviews (based on RVU and personal performance)
• A hybrid working approach with 2 in-office days per week and up to 22 working days per year to “work from anywhere”
• Employer matching pension contributions up to 7.5%
• A one-off £300 “Work from Home” budget to help contribute towards a great work environment at home
• Excellent maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption leave policy, for those key moments in your life
