Our three synergistic businesses - Deals to Dollars Academy (education), Leverage Homes (real estate wholesaling), and Brick City Capital (private lending) - work together to help everyday investors access opportunity, build wealth, and create lasting impact.

Our Mission:

Empower the next generation of entrepreneurs and investors by giving them the education, resources, and financial tools they need to succeed.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Content Designer to create high-performing visual assets that fuel our paid media and lifecycle marketing campaigns. You will work closely with our Performance Marketing Managers to bring creative concepts to life across paid social, video, static display, email, direct mail, and other customer-facing touchpoints.

This role requires a customer-first mindset, quick thinking, and strong execution skills. We want someone who is not just a great designer but also thinks strategically about how creative assets drive engagement and conversions. Curiosity is key - you are always exploring new visual formats, creative hooks, and motion techniques that command attention in a noisy feed or inbox. You have a sharp eye for what stops the scroll and a willingness to test and iterate fast.

Responsibilities:

• Design and produce static and video assets for paid social, display, and direct mail campaigns
• Edit video clips for ads and email marketing purposes
• Create visually compelling assets for email marketing and lifecycle campaigns
• Translate briefs and concepts from Performance Marketing Managers into polished, high-converting creative
• Maintain and evolve creative templates, brand guidelines, and design systems across campaigns
• Collaborate closely with Marketing Managers to ensure assets align with customer needs and campaign objectives
• Move quickly from concept to execution, iterating based on performance data and feedback
• Manage project timelines to meet deadlines across multiple workstreams

What We Are Looking For:

• 2+ years experience in digital content design, with a strong portfolio showcasing paid media assets
• Mastery of Figma and other design tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite)
• Ability to edit video for paid social, YouTube ads, and short-form marketing content
• Customer-first mindset - designs with user needs, attention, and behavior in mind
• Quick thinker and executor - able to rapidly develop, refine, and deliver high-quality creative
• Comfortable collaborating in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment
• Strong understanding of direct response and performance marketing principles

Bonus Points:

• Experience in real estate, lending, financial services, or education industries
• Background working with direct mail creative
• Familiarity with marketing analytics and A/B testing

Next Steps: If you are passionate about using design to solve real customer problems and drive business results, we would love to see your work and hear from you.
