About Arca

Arca is a wealth management firm built from the ground up with AI. Most people get financial advice that's reactive: an annual check-in, a plan that's a document instead of a living thing, a relationship where you're one of three hundred clients your advisor is trying to remember. We think that's backwards. The kind of service that used to require a team of specialists behind you, the kind that makes you feel like the only person in the room, should be available to far more than the ultra-wealthy.

So we're building it. We're not SaaS — we are the wealth management business, rebuilding it from the inside with AI. Our platform is an Iron Man suit for advisors: it takes over the low-leverage work so they can focus on what actually requires a human, showing up with empathy, context, and judgment. Underneath, it keeps a living understanding of each client. It remembers the thing you mentioned once, six months ago. It notices when your life changes — a new job, a new kid, a market shift — and adjusts before you think to ask. You won't see the technology. You'll just notice your advisor seems to know you better than any financial professional ever has.

That's the product we're growing: client by client, on the strength of the experience itself. We started by acquiring firms managing over $1B in client assets, which gave us real advisors, real clients, and real financial outcomes to build against from day one. But acquisition was the starting line. The bet is that an advisor backed by this platform delivers something good enough that clients come to us on their own.

It's a $20T market, and we think it's ready to be rebuilt.

The team

We're small on purpose. We're a team of 12 based out of NYC and we're engineering heavy with 8 engineers. We hail from high growth startups like Stripe, Ramp, Rippling, Plaid, Doordash, & Glean.

We're fully in-office in Flatiron, five days a week—lunch together, coffee breaks, basketball games, happy hours.

The role

As our Brand Marketing Designer ( Member of Technical Staff ) you'll work across Brand & Creative, you bring Arca's brand to life and extend it across every surface we show up on. We're not a SaaS company dressing up a dashboard; we are the wealth management firm, so the work you make — the social, the ads, the collateral, the imagery — is the business itself, the first thing a prospective client sees long before they ever talk to an advisor, in an industry that mostly looks like beige PDFs and stock photos of handshakes.

You'll work directly with the team, setting top-level creative direction. Your job is to take that direction and make it real: the assets, the motion, and the imagery that keep the brand sharp and alive as we grow. This is a hands-on maker's role, not a purely strategic one — and it's technical enough that you're comfortable building and shipping what you design, running our marketing site in Framer or WordPress rather than handing it off. You'll partner closely with Design & Growth ( and product, and engineering ) to build across everything Arca puts into the world.

What you'll own

• Brand assets across every surface. Social, ads, collateral, decks, email, event and office materials — the steady stream of on-brand work that keeps Arca looking sharp everywhere it shows up.

• Motion and imagery. Short-form motion, animation, and original imagery that make static surfaces move and give the brand a visual signature people remember.

• The website, hands-on. You help build and maintain our marketing site turning designs into live pages yourself instead of waiting on engineering.

• Production at the speed of AI. You use modern AI creative tools to generate, iterate, and ship more and better work than was possible a year ago — extending the brand faster as we grow.

• Craft, in practice. Working from the creative direction set above you, you keep every asset coherent and high-quality, and you help build the templates and systems that let that quality scale.

The kind of person who thrives here

You're excited by ownership, ambiguity, and building things that matter.

• You're a maker with real craft. You've spent years doing hands-on graphic and visual design ( brand, social, ads, collateral ) and your portfolio shows work that's both beautiful and clear. You love producing the work, not just directing it.

• You're fluent in the creative toolkit. Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Canva are second nature, and you have genuine motion and animation chops.

• You're AI-native in your craft. You already build with AI creative tools ( Higgsfield, Midjourney, Flora, or similar ) and reach for them on instinct to produce imagery, motion, and ideas faster than you could by hand.

• You're technical enough to ship. You can run and update a marketing site in Framer or WordPress, and you'd rather build the page than file a ticket for it.

• You design for trust, not just attention. This is people's real money and their plans for their family, a high-consideration decision that takes time to earn. You know the difference between design that's flashy and design that earns confidence, and you reach for the second.

• You're someone people actually want to be in the room with. This is a 12-person team, one office, five days a week, working on problems that don't have clean answers. Kind, direct, and low-ego, you can give candid feedback without being an asshole, and you're genuinely energized by this environment ( not just tolerant of it ).

Why now is the moment to join

This is a narrow window with unusually high leverage.

• We just came out of stealth, and we're growing fast. The team is intentionally small, the equity reflects that, and the ceiling is high. You'd be joining early enough that the work you do now directly shapes what the company becomes and what's possible next.

• The advisor-facing product is being defined right now, by a small team that talks to advisors every day. We've just brought on our second firm—the real inflection point, where we start separating what generalizes from what was bespoke. The patterns you set become the foundation for every acquisition that follows.

• The consumer product is a blank page. We've never built directly for consumers until now—no legacy, no template. Whoever takes this on defines what the experience even is.

• The hard part is behind us, which means the interesting part is starting. The platform is live, the concept is proven, advisors have moved real client assets onto it. The work now is scaling a working system across four or five acquisitions this year—workflows, data, agents, reliability under real load.
