Brand Designer (Motion Graphics)
Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
$10 billion+ generated by creators since Patreon's inception
100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.
We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Brand Designer (Motion Graphics) to support our mission.
This role is based in New York or San Francisco and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.
About the Team
Patreon’s Creative Studio is a multidisciplinary team of designers, writers, and motion experts building an iconic brand for creators. Our work reflects the power, independence, and freedom that comes with creative ownership.
We take risks. We reject trend-chasing. We challenge each other to push further, creating work that expands what’s possible for creators everywhere..
About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Brand Designer to help build, evolve, and scale the Patreon brand across all channels and mediums. This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role for a designer who brings strong ideas, exceptional craft, and strategic thinking to their work.
You’ll act as a design lead and creative partner in translating strategy, narrative, and cultural insight into compelling brand expressions and seeing work through from concept to delivery.
Motion is an important part of how our brand comes to life; while this role isn’t motion-first, a strong interest in and understanding of motion design is essential. Proficiency with current tools and interest in emerging ones will be essential, whether contributing to motion work directly or collaborating closely with dedicated motion designers.
Champion and evolve the Patreon brand through original, culturally relevant design work
Develop and maintain cohesive brand systems that scale across platforms
Create and refine concepts quickly, balancing high-level exploration with polished execution
Design across a range of outputs, including campaigns, product storytelling, and brand moments
Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, communicating clearly and incorporating feedback
Own projects independently, managing multiple priorities while maintaining a high bar for quality
About You
Successful candidates are self-motivated, endlessly curious creative thinkers whose mastery of their craft and tools makes moving from concept to execution feel natural. Their instinct for style, passion for championing great work, and ability to communicate equally well with product developers, culture-first editorial teams, and the Patreon creator community at large will determine whether this role feels energizing and in-flow—or overwhelming.
Strong portfolio demonstrating brand systems, campaigns, and craft
Expert proficiency in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects
Ability to design for both short-term campaigns and long-term brand vision
Clear, confident communicator and collaborative partner across disciplines
Motion design experience is a plus; UI/UX experience is nice to have
