Design Director

At TRANZACT, we are reinventing the relationship between consumers and their insurance. As the Design Director on our Creative Team, you will play an integral part in crafting frictionless experiences that make a difference in people’s lives. Whether it be building out a wireframe for a new interactive web tool or ideating a storyboard for a YouTube video, our Creative team is at the heart of it all. 

In this position, you will lead and grow our team of designers to do the best work of their (and your) careers. To be successful in this role, you must love design and obsess over ways to make the work even better. You’ll be a mentor, a listener, a doer, and a performance-minded tinkerer. Our bullseye candidate will come from a background of cross-collaborative, data and UX-driven design, ideally in a performance marketing or equivalent environment. 

If you are “D - ALL OF THE ABOVE” or even if you’re some of the above, we’d love to talk to you.

What we do 

In a nutshell 

We create better lives for tomorrow by making insurance easy today. 

How we make it happen

We don’t just drive marketing for some of America’s largest insurance companies. We also own and operate a unique family of brands that help us educate and connect with consumers in the insurance and Medicare space.

How we work with our external partners

We are not an agency. We are an end-to-end solution for our partners, with an emphasis on performance, technology and data. This allows for more experimentation, creativity and autonomy in our work and empowers our team to make decisions that add real value to our business.
