Job summary

Affirm seeks a motion-forward Visual Designer to elevate animation, visual storytelling, and illustration across its product ecosystem. You will guide attention, explain product behavior, and create moments of clarity and delight through motion and design systems.

The role spans in-app interactions, animated illustrations, web, email, lifecycle journeys, and product launches, combining UX thinking with craft to deliver cohesive, accessible experiences.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience in motion, animation, visual, communication, or product design within a product-driven environment.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong motion and visual-design craft, including animation, interaction, illustration, and storytelling across digital product experiences.
• Strong knowledge of animation principles, including timing, pacing, easing, transitions, and choreography, and proficiency with tools such as After Effects, LottieFiles, Rive, or comparable software.
• Mastery of tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, After Effects, LottieFiles, and relevant 2D/3D animation tools.
• Familiarity with HTML/CSS and the technical constraints of production environments (especially in email and mobile).
• UX and product-design experience, including an understanding of user flows, interaction design, information hierarchy, and how motion can support an end-to-end experience.
• Ability to storyboard, prototype, and articulate design decisions to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Ability to independently deliver defined projects, communicate design rationale, incorporate feedback, and collaborate effectively with designers, engineers, marketers, and other cross-functional partners.

Responsibilities

• Design motion-forward experiences across in-app surfaces, web, email, lifecycle comms, and product marketing, with a focus on clarity, accessibility, performance, and storytelling.
• Create animations, motion studies, animated illustrations, iconography, and interaction patterns that explain product behavior, guide attention, and improve customer comprehension.
• Own defined visual and motion-design projects from concept and storyboarding through production and implementation, maintaining a consistently high level of craft.
• Contribute to product-design initiatives by mapping user flows, developing interaction concepts, and carrying solutions through high-fidelity design and prototyping.
• Create and extend reusable visual assets, motion patterns, guidelines, and components that strengthen affirm’s product and communication systems.
• Collaborate with Product Design, Design Systems, Product, Engineering, Brand, Content Design, Lifecycle, and Growth partners to deliver cohesive end-to-end experiences.
• Prepare production-ready assets and specifications, partnering with engineers to ensure motion and visual details are accessible, performant, and implemented as intended.
