About Optum

Optum is a global organization on a mission to help people live healthy. This role sits within Starship Studio— Optum’s consumer experience group headed by ex-Uber, Apple, frog, and Red Antler creative leaders. The team is small but mighty and operates at the speed of a startup with the backing of a Fortune 5 company. This unique combination allows us to bring big ideas to life quickly and tap Optum’s incredible network to make real impact.

About the Role

We're looking for a visual visionary who’s passionate about consumer health and payments. We’re launching a new household brand and product dedicated to reimagining the future of workplace benefits— think fitness, healthy food, therapy, self-care, and rewards designed to help you live well.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Visual Designer, you’ll shape the visual language of a revolutionary health and finance brand across all channels. You’ll:

• Drive our visual expression forward and, with careful hands, shape it into something truly special

• Collaborate with the marketing, product, and writing teams to create campaigns, viral stunts, product launches, welcome kits, emails, physical cards, and more

• Evolve our visual aesthetic through constant experimentation, staying ahead of the curve, not behind it

• Elevate the look and feel of everything we do by bringing a level of polish and magic into everything we ship

• Mentor junior designers and foster a culture of collaboration and creativity

What You'll Need

• 4+ years of experience in visual design at a creative agency or in-house design team

• Experience in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma (bonus points for motion design or illustration)

• Design portfolio that showcases your eye for good design and attention to detail

• Demonstrated collaboration in a remote-first environment and enjoy sharing work early and often

• Proven comfortability with the ambiguity that comes with working on an early-stage brand

• Proven self-starter—there’s always something you want to do, learn, and grow in as a designer

Perks

• Monthly spending money as part of testing our new product

• Competitive salary and benefits package

• Professional development and growth opportunities

• Flexible working hours and remote work options

• Foundational role within a growing Creative team
