The ideal candidate is a well‑rounded designer who’s comfortable owning complex assignments, refining creative details, and contributing to the evolution of the brand. What You’ll Do: Design Across Multiple Mediums • Produce high‑quality digital and print designs including web assets, display ads, social creative, brochures, flyers, one‑pagers, and signage. • Create materials for marketing campaigns, product launches, and advertising initiatives. • Support environmental and experiential design needs such as event graphics, trade show materials, and large‑format layouts.

They seek context, ask smart questions, and surface ideas or risks early. They are the kind of designer who takes initiative and pushes the work to be better, not just “done.” What You Bring • Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Graphic Design, Bachelor of Design or equivalent • 5-7+ years of professional design experience (agency or in‑house) • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and presentation design tools and libraries • Experience in using MS Office (Word, Power Point) • Ability to work independently, manage complex projects, and deliver high‑quality work under deadlines • Strong portfolio demonstrating crosschannel design work across integrated campaigns, digital destinations, and print Salary Range: $83,100 - 141,300 USD Salary range is a good faith estimate of base pay.
