Position Overview

We are seeking a Graphic Designer to join our creative marketing team that will design across mediums (digital, social, print, presentations) to bring our marketing and sales efforts to life. You’ll work closely with art directors, copy writers, event managers, and marketing team members to produce high-quality visuals that engage audiences while maintaining brand consistency. We are looking for someone with design sensibility both technically and theoretically, ability to craft impactful visuals that combine messaging and branding, and the ability to organize multiple projects and deadlines. If you’re a creative thinker, with experience turning business concepts into branded user touch points, and ability to manage feedback, deadlines, and multiple ongoing projects, we’d love to have you onboard.

Key Responsibilities

  • Creative Services: Develop compelling graphics for a variety of mediums, including digital/websites, social, email, presentations/Google Slides, paid media, events, and small- and large-scale print materials.

  • Brand Standards: Ensure all designs adhere to established brand guidelines and maintain visual consistency across projects. Develop new designs that evolve our brand and push our visual expression.
  • Project and Time Management: Communicate effectively with various stakeholders within marketing and across departments to understand creative briefs and assignments, explain creative concepts, and hand off final deliverables. Stay on top of projects in various stages, plan ahead, and manage projects independently.
  • Prototyping & UI Design: Use tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD to create prototypes and visual assets for digital products and web interfaces.
  • Collaborative Ideation: Work with creative and marketing teams to translate concepts into polished visual designs that achieve project goals.
