About the Company

Saison International is a global financial company with a mission to bring people, partners and technology together, creating resilient and innovative financial solutions for positive impact.

Across its business arms of lending and corporate venture capital, Saison International is committed to being a transformative partner in creating opportunities and enabling the dreams of people.

Based in Singapore, over 1,500 employees work across Saison’s global operations spanning six countries - Singapore, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil.

Saison International is the international headquarters (IHQ) of Credit Saison Co. Ltd., founded in 1951 and one of Japan’s largest lending conglomerates with over 70 years of history and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Company has evolved from a credit-card issuer to a diversified financial services provider across payments, leasing, finance, real estate and entertainment.

About the Role

At Saison International, we’re building a brand that spans continents – one that reflects our purpose, ambition, and people. As we expand into new markets and support more teams, it’s essential that our brand evolves with consistency and care.

This role is about bringing the Saison International brand to life – visually, operationally, and through motion. You’ll help us connect our identity to real audiences in meaningful, considered ways and be part of a small, focused team working to build something that lasts.

We’re looking for a brand designer who sits comfortably at the intersection of brand and motion – someone who can create with craft, move with systems, and bring energy to brand storytelling across digital, social, and everyday applications.

This is a hands-on role that blends brand design, motion craft, and thoughtful execution. You’ll help evolve and shape the brand identity of Saison International and its entities globally, while also ensuring that our communications, content, and internal assets consistently reflect the brand we’re building.

You’ll collaborate closely with the Senior Art Director on brand systems, and with our Digital Lead on social content and campaign execution. This hybrid scope gives you exposure across teams and channels and plenty of room to grow.

As part of the Brand and Communications team, you’ll help bring both creative and operational stability to our brand function. That means contributing meaningfully to design and motion work while also helping us run smoothly day to day. Whether it’s improving templates, preparing assets for internal launches, or supporting event logistics, your work will help keep the brand consistent, responsive, and moving forward across all touchpoints. Beyond creative work, this role will support design operations and help the brand team scale as we support more global markets.

What You Will Do

Support the Building of a Cohesive Global Brand

• You’ll work closely with the Senior Art Director to help shape how Saison International’s brand is expressed across markets and mediums – from global events, presentations, videos, web ,to internal communications.
• This includes creating brand assets, refining templates, supporting visual consistency, and adapting content across Southeast Asia, India, Latin America, and beyond. You’ll play a key role in helping the brand scale with consistency and care – supporting both creative execution and operational implementation.

Bring the Brand to Life Through Motion

• You’ll bring motion into our visual system – from animating brand motifs and iconography to helping define how motion shows up in event graphics, leadership decks, and lightweight UI and web interactions. You’ll also explore how emerging tools such as AI video platforms or prototyping plugins can help evolve how our brand behaves across digital touchpoints.

Design Operations and Brand Systems

• You’ll help maintain and improve the systems that keep the brand running smoothly – managing templates, organizing asset libraries, preparing visual guidelines, and handling recurring design requests. You’ll also support regional teams in adapting materials to local needs while ensuring alignment with the global brand system.

Collaborate Across Teams and Markets

• You’ll work alongside regional and functional teams to deliver high-quality, brand-aligned assets. From refining a pitch deck to producing materials for an event, your work will ensure the brand is expressed with clarity and consistency in every market. You’ll also support the development of social templates, motion-based visuals for thought leadership, and content localization across markets – working together with our digital lead.

What You Will Bring

• 4 to 5 years of experience in a brand, design, or creative role.
• A strong portfolio that demonstrates visual design fundamentals – clear layout, typography, and brand alignment.
• Hands-on experience with design tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
• Confidence in using motion tools like After Effects, Lottie, Adobe Premiere, and Figma motion plugins.
• Interest in exploring AI-based tools for animation, video or other related content prototyping.
• Relational ability in forging cross functional relationships to create partnerships that result in strong work for the growth of the business
• Experience adapting brand systems and design assets across touchpoints.
• High attention to detail, organizational discipline, ability to manage multiple projects and keen interest in finance and how the business works
• A collaborative mindset – someone who’s curious, proactive, and enjoys building things with others.
