Descripción del empleo

Today, we’re on a mission to change the way the world interacts with energy, and we’re building a company and brand that puts power at the center of life. And we’re doing it by designing a dynamic culture where employee development, well‑being, and safety come first. We’re unlike any other solar company.

Come join a career you can grow in and a culture you can run with.

At Sunrun, we are on a mission to create a planet run by the sun. We are seeking a Senior Visual / UI Designer—a rare creative unicorn who moves fluently between the worlds of high‑impact marketing design and systematic, product‑level UI work. This is not two jobs stitched together; it is one role for the designer who has always done both and never wanted to choose.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Visual Design & Brand Identity

• Multi‑Channel Design: Produce a wide range of digital assets—social media graphics (static and motion), display banners, email templates, web landing pages, and in‑product UI screens—that feel unmistakably Sunrun.
• Brand Guardianship: Serve as a steward of the Sunrun visual identity, ensuring all output aligns with brand guidelines while actively pushing the creative standard higher.
• Visual Storytelling: Translate complex solar technology and financial concepts into elegant, digestible infographics, visual narratives, and UI content patterns that reduce friction and build confidence.
• High‑Fidelity Craft: Deliver pixel‑perfect mockups, prototypes, and production‑ready assets across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints.

UI Design & Design Systems

• Interface Design: Design intuitive, aesthetically refined interfaces for web and mobile products—crafting layouts, color schemes, typography hierarchies, icon sets, and interactive elements that put users first.
• Design System Ownership: Help develop, maintain, and evolve Sunrun’s design system, style guides, and UI pattern libraries, ensuring consistency and enabling design‑to‑development velocity.
• Developer Partnership: Collaborate closely with front‑end engineers, speaking the language of HTML/CSS constraints to bridge the gap between design intent and technical implementation.

Performance & Conversion Optimization

• Direct Response Design: Partner with the Performance Marketing team to design high‑impact ad creative that drives measurable action across Meta, Google, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and emerging platforms.
• A/B Testing Support: Develop multiple creative iterations to identify visual and UX drivers that improve click‑through, conversion, and retention rates.
• Conversion‑Optimized UX: Ensure every customer‑facing touchpoint—from first ad impression to final checkout—is cohesive, accessible, and conversion‑optimized.

Collaboration & Innovation

• Cross‑Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Copywriters, UX Designers, Product Managers, Marketing Leads, and Engineers to take projects from initial brief through final pixel‑perfect delivery.
• Design Advocacy: Present and defend design decisions clearly, incorporating stakeholder feedback with professionalism and a point of view.
• AI‑Assisted Workflows: Leverage AI design tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, generative fills) to accelerate image creation, automate repetitive tasks, and explore new creative concepts.
• Trend Leadership: Stay ahead of digital design trends, UI/UX best practices, accessibility standards, and technology shifts to keep Sunrun feeling fresh and best‑in‑class.

Senior Design Leadership

• Mentor and elevate junior and mid‑level designers, providing feedback on craft, process, and professional growth.
• Review and approve creative work, maintaining quality and brand standards across the team.
• Manage workload distribution and creative priorities across a small team when needed.
• Model design culture—setting the bar for craft, collaboration, and creative thinking.

REQUIREMENTS

• Experience: 5+ years of professional design experience in a digital design role, with a portfolio demonstrating both marketing design excellence and systematic UI/product work. In‑house or agency experience welcomed.
• Portfolio: A strong portfolio showcasing mastery of layout, typography, color theory, and user‑centered design—with clear examples of both brand/marketing campaigns and UI/product design.
