Senior Brand and Interactive Designer, Bitkey/Proto

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams - People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more - provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.
The Role
Two of Block's newest products are focused on accelerating the world's transition to a more open economy. Bitkey, a self-custody bitcoin wallet, and Proto, a line of revolutionary bitcoin mining products, are uniquely positioned to increase financial access and independence for people all over the world. Block has brought together a single team to span both products. A guiding principle for the Bitkey/Proto team is to build in the open. That means open development, show and tell, share and iterate. You can read more about our open approach at bitkey.build and mining.build.
We are looking for a senior interactive designer (L6) to join the Bitkey/Proto team. Our ideal candidate is someone who is proactive, who seeks out opportunities to contribute and who sees possibilities where others only see limitations. Due to the dynamic nature of our product offering, deliverables, content, strategy and directions are often in flux. This role requires an ability to stay nimble with shifting priorities and to, sometimes, make something out of nothing.
As a senior interactive designer you will be a design leader, contributing to brand and marketing strategy and design across both Bitkey and Proto. This role requires a mastery of core design skills (pixel perfection, typography, layout, interactivity, motion and storytelling), the ability to proactively mentor other designers while becoming an influential cross-functional leader. Because the Bitkey/Proto team is relatively small, every team member is expected to juggle multiple deliverables and contribute at every stage of the product marketing lifecycle. This includes owning design deliverables for websites, marketing campaigns, packaging design, branding and any other channels that our products leverage.
You must include a link to an online portfolio to be considered.

• Collaborate with team-members to level up design across the team and across Block
• Represent Proto as an important member of the Block Creative design community
• Deliver world class creative work and campaigns from strategy to execution across multiple channels with impact throughout the entire customer funnel
• Take projects from idea to completion, maintaining a high standard of execution

You Have

• At least (7) years of relevant professional experience
• A portfolio that showcases work you were directly responsible for creating
• Experience as a primary contributor to multiple high-impact projects
• In-depth knowledge of Figma, including the ability to create and leverage system elements, such as components and variables
