Job Title: Graphic Designer - Lead
Job Level: Mid-level
Report to: AVP
Department: Marketing
Organization: airpay money private limited; airpay capital private limited
Location: Navi Mumbai
Job Summary
We're looking for a Graphic Designer with minimum 10+ years of experience who will serve as our Design Lead-someone who doesn't just execute but drives design thought leadership across the brand. This role sits at the intersection of strategic visual thinking, people management, AI-powered design tools, and video storytelling. You'll own how the brand shows up across every digital and offline touchpoint.
You will lead a small in-house design team, collaborate closely with business stakeholders, and play a critical role in shaping the brand's visual identity across platforms for both airpay money and airpay capital. This is a high-ownership role-you'll be expected to drive things independently, not wait for direction.
Prior experience in a Fintech/BFSI environment (good to have).
Key Responsibilities
1. Design Leadership Brand Stewardship
- Own and evolve the visual identity of the brand across campaigns, platforms, and products.
- Lead logo creation, sub-branding, campaign identities, and brand systems.
- Act as a design thought partner to marketing, digital, and business teams.
- Ensure brand consistency while pushing creative boundaries in a regulated category (fintech/financial/BFSI services).
2. Marketing Communication Design
- Design social media creatives and performance marketing creatives across Meta, YouTube, and other paid channels - with a strong sense of what drives clicks, conversions, and thumb-stops.
- Conceptualise and create marketing collateral across the full spectrum: emails, WhatsApp creatives, brochures, brand books, danglers, standees, website, app, CRM and product communication assets, print, OOH, sales and partner collaterals.
- Translate complex financial concepts into clear, engaging visual stories that resonate with a mass consumer audience.
- Bridge the gap between marketing design and product design - contributing to UI/UX for the app and website, ensuring the brand experience is seamless from the first ad a user sees to the screens they interact with daily.
3. AI-Led Design Innovation
- Leverage AI design tools (Midjourney, Firefly, Runway, DALL E, Adobe AI tools, and similar) to speed up ideation, prototyping, visual storytelling, and experimentation.
- Use AI tools for faster editing, auto-captioning, visual enhancements, and ideation across static and video formats.
- Experiment with AI-generated visuals, videos, and workflows to improve efficiency and creativity across the team.
- Create scalable design systems and assets using AI-assisted workflows.
- Stay ahead of global design and AI trends; introduce best practices to the team.
- Bring basic to intermediate video editing and motion graphics skills - short-form videos, reels, explainer videos, and campaign edits.
4. Team Leadership
- Lead and mentor a team of graphic designers, fostering a collaborative and high-output design environment.
- Provide constructive art direction and feedback to junior designers, ensuring consistent quality across all deliverables.
- Manage multiple design projects simultaneously, prioritising tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
5. Compliance Brand Governance
- Ensure all creative output aligns with brand guidelines, tone, and messaging - no exceptions.
- Adhere to RBI regulations and fintech compliance requirements in all creative assets, working closely with legal and compliance teams where needed.
Required Qualifications
Must-Haves
- 10+ years of progressive experience in graphic design video editing, with a proven track record of leading design projects and teams.
