At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most.
About Our Team
Visual Design turns complex financial products into experiences customers can understand, trust, and remember. Through motion, illustration, and visual storytelling, we connect brand promise to product reality, bringing clarity and cohesion to every moment, from discovery and onboarding to everyday use.
We partner with Product Design, Brand, Content Design, Engineering, and Product Marketing to create expressive, accessible, and scalable experiences across Affirm’s ecosystem. Our role is to elevate the quality of execution, build visual systems that help teams move with consistency, and use craft to guide attention, explain value, and create moments of confidence and delight. We ensure Affirm does not simply work well - it communicates clearly, feels unmistakably our own, and earns customer trust at every touchpoint.
About the Role
We’re looking for a motion-forward Visual Designer who brings strong craft in animation, visual storytelling, and illustration. You’ll help elevate the quality and consistency of customer experiences across Affirm’s product ecosystem, using motion to guide attention, explain product behavior, improve comprehension, and create moments of clarity and delight.
This role sits at the intersection of product and brand. Your work will range from in-product interactions and animated illustrations to web, email communications, lifecycle journeys, and product launches. You’ll pair deep motion and visual-design craft with UX thinking and an understanding of design systems to create experiences that are cohesive, accessible, scalable, and purposeful.
You think holistically about end-to-end customer journeys, care deeply about craft, and understand how thoughtful motion and visual systems can make experiences both functional and emotionally engaging.
