Wealthfront hiring Designer in Palo Alto, CA | LinkedIn (2024)

About The RoleA person’s financial life is intimately connected to their dreams — from the home where they’ll live to the travels they’ll take to the future they picture for themselves. As a pioneer in automated investing and money management, Wealthfront offers tools and services to make more of those dreams possible for a broader range of people than ever before. The Creative Team at Wealthfront is searching for a Designer to help us find innovative, engaging ways to bring our brand promise to life with conceptual flair and impeccable execution.

You’ll be responsible for creating a wide range of awesome things: producing assets to support a tentpole brand campaign and ongoing marketing experiments, dreaming up unexpected (and unexpectedly fun) ways to illustrate complicated financial concepts and delivering the kinds of creative ideas that no one would ever expect from a financial institution.

You make considered decisions in your work, can defend your creative choices, and are ready to revise your opinions in the face of compelling arguments because you care — deeply — about making the work the best it can be. You have high expectations for yourself and the people around you.

You expect your work to serve the teamYou know that your way isn’t always the right way, and you’re eager to find a way to contribute, even when it might be outside your typical skill set. You understand there’s always more you can learn, and you look forward to opportunities to add to your creative arsenal.

You are resourceful and enterprisingYou think like an owner, are solutions-oriented and adapt quickly to the constraints and challenges of a fast-paced, rapidly growing business with a small team.

Whether big or small, you look for ways to intersect consumers’ lives to communicate a brand truth in a way that feels relevant, authentic, and memorable, regardless of channel or medium.

About WealthfrontWealthfront started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business, with the goal to unlock access to high quality investment advice for millions who were underserved by the traditional institutions. We built one of the first automated investment products that allows you to invest in a personalized portfolio of thousands of companies in seconds for a remarkably low fee. We then expanded. We now work with partner banks to offer exceptional banking features through a Wealthfront Brokerage Cash Account, which makes it remarkably easy for people to automate their finances end-to-end and eliminated the hassle of money management, all of which resulted in attracting more than $50 billion of our client’s hard earned money, pioneering the robo-advisor category and transforming the broader industry. And yet, we have a long way to go to achieve our mission to build a financial system that favors people, not institutions.

Wealthfront’s vision is to make it delightfully easy to build long-term wealth on your own terms. This vision is more relevant than ever because millions more people are getting into the market early and investing their hard earned savings in a handful of stocks. While this is a great way to start, it is inconsistent with building long-term wealth. We want to empower young investors to expand their horizon, and easily explore and execute on a wider range of investing strategies, make informed investment decisions that are consistent with their values and beliefs while also making it effortless to grow and compound their savings exponentially in a way that’s transformational to their lives and their long-term future.
