Job Description
About the Organization You&rsquo;ll Be Joining
This Design Manager will report to the Head of Deal Design &amp; Development within the North America Deal Team, the creative team working with sales leaders to craft the most compelling &ldquo;Why Visa&rdquo; stories. You&rsquo;ll be part of a broader community of presentation designers who share standards, best practices, and a high bar for craft.
 Day‑to‑day, this role is deeply embedded with Growth Products &amp; Partnerships (GP&amp;P)&mdash;the team responsible for building and scaling Visa&rsquo;s product‑ and solution‑led partnerships with leading technology companies. In this capacity, you&rsquo;ll work closely with GP&amp;P product, partnerships, and sales leaders to shape early‑stage opportunity narratives, platform and ecosystem stories, and forward‑looking partnership visions, with a particular focus on Visa&rsquo;s Big Tech partners.
This structure enables the role to combine best‑in‑class deal design with deep context in product‑led partnerships, ensuring stories are not only beautifully designed, but strategically grounded in how Visa creates long‑term value with its most important partners.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Graphic Design Manager who is first and foremost an exceptional presentation designer and visual storyteller &mdash; someone who thrives in ambiguity, partners closely with Sales, and helps shape opportunities before they formally exist.
This role sits at the intersection of design, storytelling, and deal strategy. You will work directly with sales and product leaders, account executives, and cross‑functional partners to turn early‑stage ideas into compelling pre‑pitch, opportunity development, pitch, and RFP materials that influence executive decisions and win business.
This is a hands‑on individual contributor role with leadership expectations. The ideal candidate is a self-directed, highly collaborative designer who communicates confidently with Sales and Product leaders and owns work end-to-end, raising the bar on the quality and clarity of pitch narratives.
What You&rsquo;ll Do
Lead Opportunity &amp; Pitch Development<ul><li>
Design high‑impact pitch decks, pre‑pitch materials, and RFP responses that clearly articulate product‑led partnership value propositions&mdash;working closely with Growth Products &amp; Partnerships leaders to shape ecosystem, platform, and &ldquo;Why Visa&rdquo; narratives from early‑stage opportunity development through executive‑level pitches.</li><li>
Translate complex ideas, products, and deal structures into clear, persuasive visual narratives.</li><li>
Beyond designing slides, help shape and build story flow, structure, and messaging for Visa&rsquo; Growth Products, innovation initiatives, and highest priority partnership opportunities&mdash; not just slides.</li><li>
Develop customized, client/partner-centric Big Tech pitches and provide flexible support on Big Tech deals.</li><li>
Partner with Product and Design teams to take existing product UI and translate it into client‑branded UI mockups for use in presentations, pre‑pitch narratives, and RFP responses.</li></ul>
Partner Closely with Sales<ul><li>
Act as a thought partner to Sales and Product leaders, especially early in opportunity development.</li><li>
Proactively engage with stakeholders, ask the right questions, and push for clarity when inputs are ambiguous.</li><li>
Confidently present design rationale and challenge assumptions to improve outcomes.</li></ul>
Own Design End‑to‑End<ul><li>
Independently manage multiple workstreams from concept to final delivery.</li><li>
Create and maintain presentation templates, visual systems, and reusable assets that balance speed with quality.</li><li>
Ensure consistency with brand, storytelling standards, and executive‑level expectations.</li></ul>
Elevate Craft &amp; Collaboration<ul><li>
Create elegant visuals, infographics, diagrams, and light animations to represent experiences, capabilities, data, and complex concepts.</li><li>
Collaborate cross‑functionally as needed (e.g. Legal, Product Design).</li><li>
Contribute to best practices, case studies, and evolving standards for pitch and presentation excellence.</li><li>
Actively share best practices and consult with NA Deal Design &amp; Development peers to continuously raise the bar on craft, consistency, and impact.</li></ul>
Operate with a Builder&rsquo;s Mindset<ul><li>
Move quickly while maintaining high standards &mdash; bias toward action, iteration, and ownership.</li><li>
Use modern tools (including AI where appropriate) to accelerate thinking, iteration, and execution.</li><li>
Continuously raise the bar on presentation quality, storytelling clarity, and effectiveness.</li></ul>
Why This Role Is Different<ul><li>
You&rsquo;ll be embedded in early‑stage pitch and opportunity thinking, not just final deliverables.</li><li>
You&rsquo;ll work closely with senior sales leaders and have real influence on how opportunities are framed and pursued.</li><li>
You&rsquo;ll have autonomy, visibility, and the chance to meaningfully raise the bar for how we show up with partners.</li><li>
This role focuses on select, high‑stakes opportunities that require platform thinking, ecosystem storytelling, and comfort with ambiguity.</li></ul>
This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
Visa requires at least 3 days in office, expectations of these days will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.

Kikoff

<div>
 
 Kikoff: A FinTech Unicorn Powering Financial Progress with AI
 
 
 
 At Kikoff, our mission is to provide radically affordable financial tools to help consumers achieve financial security. We're a profitable, high growth FinTech unicorn serving millions of people, many of whom are building credit or navigating life paycheck to paycheck. With innovative technology and AI, we simplify credit building, reduce debt, and expand access to financial opportunities to those who need them the most. Founded in 2019, Kikoff is headquartered in San Francisco and backed by top-tier VC investors and NBA star Stephen Curry.
 
 
 
 Why Kikoff
 
 
 
 This is a consumer fintech startup, and you will be working with serial entrepreneurs who have built strong consumer brands and innovative products. We value extreme ownership, clear communication, a strong sense of craftsmanship, and the desire to create lasting work and work relationships. Yes, you can build an exciting business AND have real-life real-customer impact.
 
 
 
 About The Role
 
 
 
 As Head of Design, you will own the design vision, craft, and execution across the company. You will set the quality bar, rebuild the foundation our product is built on, and be a direct partner to senior leadership on the decisions that shape what Kikoff feels like to use.
 
 
 This is not a hands-off role. You will be close to the pixels, close to the product, and close to the team. You will give real feedback on real work, and you will be expected to make the call when designers are stuck in ambiguity.
 
 
 In This Role, You Will
 
 
 Lead and Grow the Team
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Manage, coach, and develop the product design team - including hands-on mentorship of junior designers, not just feedback in big meetings
 </li>
 <li>
 Own hiring and talent strategy: bring in designers who raise the bar, and shape the org structure that lets them do their best work
 </li>
 <li>
 Set a high bar for craft, ownership, and user obsession across the team
 </li>
 <li>
 Invest in career growth: clear expectations, honest feedback, and a path forward for every designer on the team
 </li>
 <li>
 Go beyond filling headcount. Understand each designer's strengths and place them where they'll do their best work and develop in the desired growth areas.
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Own the Design Vision and Quality Bar
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Set the overall design vision for Kikoff - what good looks like, how the team works, how designers grow
 </li>
 <li>
 Make the call when there is ambiguity: a great design manager can resolve a design decision when the team is stuck, instead of leaving it open
 </li>
 <li>
 Give practical, down-to-earth feedback grounded in visual, UX, and craft fundamentals - not just product framing
 </li>
 <li>
 Champion the visual front and push the bar on what Kikoff can look and feel like
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Build the Design Foundation
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Build the design system from the ground up so it is something the whole company and our coding agents will want to use
 </li>
 <li>
 Define and enforce design patterns across the product to reduce design debt and bring consistency
 </li>
 <li>
 Drive the standards that make every screen feel like Kikoff, across product, marketing, and brand surfaces
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Drive Cross-Functional Impact
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Be a strategic partner to Engineering, Product, and Marketing as a peer - not a downstream resource
 </li>
 <li>
 Bring product design and creative closer together: together ship brand-quality product and product-quality brand
 </li>
 <li>
 Take company-wide direction on design, brand, and creative - and translate it into work that benefits product, marketing, and creative at the same time
 </li>
 <li>
 Bring user insights into the work: run journey workshops, listen to the user's voice, and make sure the team is designing for real people, not just shipping screens
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Reinvent How Design Works in the Age of AI
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Define how the Kikoff design team uses AI - with a clear, hands-on plan, not a slide
 </li>
 <li>
 Be hands-on yourself: try new tools, prototype, vibe-code small fixes, and bring back what works to the team to help them adopt it
 </li>
 <li>
 Help the team figure out the new workflow together - what to use AI for, what to keep human, and how to keep craft from sliding
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 You Have
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 10+ years of experience in product design, with substantial time in consumer-facing, mobile-first products
 </li>
 <li>
 7+ years leading and managing design teams - you have grown designers into senior ICs and you have built a team that does great work without you in the room
 </li>
 <li>
 Demonstrated experience scaling a design team through a growth phase: you have hired strong designers and you know how to grow a team without losing the craft
 </li>
 <li>
 Deep design sense across visual, interaction, and UX - you can engage at the pixel level when it matters and you can give feedback that makes the work better
 </li>
 <li>
 A track record of building and rebuilding design systems that the team actually adopts and that hold up as the product grows
 </li>
 <li>
 A track record of partnering with product and engineering as a peer, and shipping work that moved the business
 </li>
 <li>
 Hands-on fluency with modern AI tooling for design - you have used it, formed real opinions, and have a clear point of view on how it changes the team
 </li>
 <li>
 The ability to make your team better every day: through clarity, honest feedback, and trust with strong practitioners
 </li>
 <li>
 A sharp eye for brand integrity. You ensure our brand values are deeply woven into the product&rsquo;s DNA. You can align cross-functional stakeholders on a unified brand vision and ensure that every pixel of the UI speaks our specific visual language.
 </li>
 <li>
 Compassion. You care about the people on your team, you listen to ICs, and you pay attention to what designers are saying so the work - and the team - can get better
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 Nice to Have
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Experience in fintech, consumer credit, or other regulated consumer products
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience leading both product design and brand or creative functions, or bringing those teams closer together
 </li>
 <li>
 Experience building or scaling a design system that supports both native mobile and marketing surfaces
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 What We're Like
 
 
 
 Scrappy.
 
 We move fast and build what we need, not what sounds impressive. We don't cut corners when they matter, and we don't over-engineer when they don't.
 
 
 
 Risk-oriented.
 
 We make tradeoffs deliberately. A mature team knows the difference between a bet worth taking and one that isn't.
 
 
 
 User-obsessed.
 
 We talk to users, watch them use the product, and believe that understanding what they actually feel is the only way to design for them. You will be surrounded by people who think this way.
 
 Humble.
 
 We know this journey has required timing, circumstance, and the right people showing up. We are grateful, and we don't take it for granted.
 
 
 Base Range
 
 
 $260,000 - $374,000 USD
