A Little About Us
Yahoo Finance is the largest digital destination for people who want to understand their money, the markets, and the forces shaping the global economy. Our mission is to make finance clear and useful so people understand not only what is happening, but what it means for them. As Yahoo Finance evolves, we want our journalism to carry more voice, color, and energy while maintaining the authority people expect from a financial news organization.
A Little About You
You are a senior designer with a strong point of view and the craft to back it up. You think in systems and execute with precision, whether you're building out the visual identity for a new video series, animating a show open, or designing a newsletter that makes complex financial information feel sharp and inviting. You're open to exploring the use of AI to remove execution bottlenecks, so more of your energy goes toward the creative work that actually matters. You're equally at home working independently and in close collaboration, and you bring a low-ego, high-output energy to everything you make. You'll join a small, close-knit design team reporting to the Creative Director of Yahoo Finance, working alongside fellow designers and in daily partnership with our video, product, social, and editorial teams.
Responsibilities:
Branding and design execution:
Translate creative direction into strong, ownable visual identities for Yahoo Finance video series, newsletters, editorial columns, and recurring content franchises.
Execute across a range of formats with a consistent, confident design sensibility. Strong typography, layout, and visual hierarchy are the foundation of everything you make.
Contribute to and work within established style guides, templates, and design systems, helping ensure each format feels distinct while remaining cohesive within the Yahoo Finance brand.
Build and maintain templates in Figma and Adobe CC that support efficiency and consistency across the design and editorial teams.
Explore generative AI design tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Figma AI) to accelerate conceptual design cycles and scale asset production.
Motion and video:
Animate and produce motion graphics for video series, show opens, and digital features, bringing brand identities to life in motion.
Contribute to templates and motion packages that support the video team's daily production needs.
Collaborate with the video team to ensure motion work feels polished, on-brand, and editorially appropriate.
Collaboration and leadership:
Partner with the Creative Director and fellow designers on larger creative initiatives, contributing ideas and iterating quickly on feedback.
Work cross-functionally with video, product, social, and editorial teams to deliver design that's right for each platform and audience.
Break down complex creative briefs and business requirements into structured action items so that multiple designers and editors can collaborate seamlessly.
Basic Qualifications:
5+ years of professional experience as a visual, brand, or motion designer, preferably in an agency, media, or tech environment.
A strong professional portfolio demonstrating a high-level mastery of typography, layout, visual systems, and motion graphics.
Advanced expertise in standard design software including Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop).<
