What we’re looking for:

Circle is looking for a Web Designer with HubSpot expertise to help design and architect a new, content-rich site experience for the new Circle brand. As the owner of all things web-marketing as our in-house HubSpot champion, you’ll help build out a pattern library for our refreshed look/feel, support the marketing team by designing and deploying pages on a new circle.com website, execute email marketing campaigns, scale our blog experience, and help optimize workflows for CRM, social, and content marketing initiatives. This position sits on the marketing team, in our downtown Boston HQ, reporting to the creative director.

Who we are:

Our team is small but mighty, and growing. As creatives at Circle, we are responsible for defining and evolving the Circle brand and creating all marketing creative, social content, event experiences, and more to drive engagement and new customer and partner acquisition.

Who you are:

Passionate

While you may have never worked in finance or for a startup, you are totally obsessed with digital systems and building scalable layouts. You make a complex lot of elements easier to visually digest using scale, proximity, typography and your expert UX knowledge. You understand how difficult simple can be and strive for clarity.

Strategic

You’re comfortable using your creativity in the grey areas as part of an agile yet empowered team. Merging a product marketing strategy, creative direction, and a myriad of content, you think deeply about the requirements and implementation, but you also know how to step back and see the broader impact of the system you create and its relationship to future versions. 

Productive

You are driven to get things (well) done. You recognize when projects need more or less energy, and use opportunities to work smarter. You’re a die-hard advocate for tidiness and efficiency using Sketch, essentially owning our design process and its improvement as we scale.

Chops

You have a stand-out portfolio that displays what you're capable of in web design and HubSpot web development. You’re confident presenting your ideas with pitch decks, documentation, online and in-person.

What you’ll work on:

• Help architect UX flows and design a system of templates and components for a new Circle marketing website built on HubSpot, including product marketing pages, content pages, blog, emails, and other customer touchpoints
• Work to iteratively scale and maintain the Circle visual system, including our brand guide, pattern library, UI toolkits, and implementation guidelines
• Partner with your creative director and content creators to lead the implementation of site updates on the HubSpot platform, designing and building new web experiences as we grow, acting as the in-house design go-to with our developer contractors
• Design and web production work like engaging social & blog graphics, digital PDFs, infographics, data visualizations, and branded materials for investors, partners, corporate comms, talent, and Circle employees
• Support the business/product/marketing (BPM) team with creating quick-turn lead-gen landing pages, responsive emails, and Google Slides presentations
• Actively participate in creative problem solving across all brand and marketing initiatives and owned channels

What you'll bring to Circle:

• 3+ years in a web design role either on or partnering with creative marketing team
• Working proficiency in HubL and experience building custom templates with HubSpot
• Mastery at Sketch (and sometimes Photoshop), including maintaining Sketch libraries and managing process
• Top-notch web typography, responsive design, and accessibility knowledge
• Experience prototyping with Invision and Craft
• Experience working with creative and non-creative partners to produce compelling layouts with strong IA and product storytelling in a collaborative setting
• Personal time management and priority juggling skills to hit evolving deadlines
• Eagle eyes and problem solving brain
• Online portfolio with relevant work you’re proud of

What will impress us even more:

• Illustration, iconography
• Motion graphics and/or CSS animation
• Experience building responsive emails
• InDesign knowledge
