Full Job Description
We are looking for a talented Visual Designer to help elevate our creative output across digital, print, presentations, campaigns, and client-facing experiences.

The Visual Designer will play a key role in shaping and evolving the Brighton Jones brand through compelling visual storytelling. This person will bring strong design fundamentals, a digital-first mindset, and the ability to translate ideas into engaging experiences across multiple channels.

You will partner closely with teams across Marketing: Brand Strategy, Digital, Content, Community, and Experiences to create impactful work that supports business growth and deepens engagement with clients, prospects, and teammates. This role reflects the organization's desire for a designer who goes beyond traditional production design and can comfortably create across modern digital channels.

What You'll Do:

This is a broad role, but it is not an evenly broad role. Roughly how the role breaks down:

  • Brand system and craft. Keeping expression consistent across everything, and contributing to how our brand standards evolve. This share grows as you do.
  • Digital and campaign design. Landing pages, website modules, social campaigns, email, infographics, campaigns, and digital reports.
  • Presentation and narrative design. Executive communications, client presentations, conference and webinar material. Someone senior stands in front of this work and it has to hold up.


You'll partner most closely with Marketing, Brand Strategy, and Content. The Creative Director sets priority when those pull in different directions.

Brighton Jones is entering a period of real change in how the brand is expressed. This role is not brand maintenance. You'll help shape what comes next.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor's degree, graphic design certificate or equivalent relevant experience preferred.
  • 4+ years of professional design experience. Formal training in graphic, visual, or communication design - or equivalent demonstrated fundamentals. We care about the fundamentals, not the credential.


  • A portfolio weighted toward digital, not primarily print. We want to see visual thinking across screens and systems.


  • Real presentation craft. You can take a rough outline and a pile of dense content and return something an executive is glad to present. This is a specific skill, and we will look for evidence of it.


  • AI fluency. Tell us about one project where an AI tool changed your process - and one place you deliberately chose not to use it. The second half of that answer matters more.


  • The ability to defend a recommendation. Not to win, but to make the reasoning visible so a non-designer can engage with it.
  • Tools: Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), PowerPoint, Word, Claude Design, ChatGPT.

  • Helpful, not required: motion graphics and simple animation, UX fundamentals, wireframing and user flows, usability & accessibility basics, WordPress.


This Role Probably Isn't For You If

  • You want to own one design surface end to end. This job moves across many formats in a week.
  • You'd rather receive a brief than help build one.
  • You're looking for a step toward pure product design. This is brand and marketing work.
  • Presentation design feels like a lesser assignment. Here it's a substantial share of the role, and the work that reaches the most people.

We'd rather you know that now than in round three.

How We'll Know It's Working

  • Complicated material comes out of your hands clearer than it went in.
  • Teams bring you in while an idea is still forming, not after it's finished.
  • Our digital work stops looking like it came from four different places.


Compensation:

  • Pay: $85,000 - $100,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.


Ownership & Financial Wellbeing
  • Fully paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees
  • 401(k) with 100% match up to 3% of annual compensation
  • Equity ownership opportunities for every employee
  • New Business Incentive Program
  • Generous employee referral bonus
  • Cell phone data reimbursement
  • Financial planning services discount for employees and immediate family members


Time & Flexibility
  • Minimum 3 weeks PTO starting Day 1
  • Winter Break, Summer Friday flex-days, and 10 paid holidays
  • Unlimited Volunteer Time Off plus company grant matching
  • Heavily subsidized transit


Growth & Development
  • 100% reimbursement for required training, certifications, licensing, and dues
  • Personal career development plans
  • Richer Life Business Partner (coaching for all employees)
  • Mindful Emotional & Social Intelligence training
  • Annual professional & personal wellbeing stipend


Connection & Community
  • Quarterly team-building events
  • Regular social events
  • Employee-led book clubs, committees, and affinity groups


Family & Milestones
  • Paid Parental leave (13 weeks for birthing parent and 6 weeks for non-birthing parent)
  • Adoption benefits
  • Anniversary milestone celebrations, including a 3-month paid sabbatical at 10 years


Visa Sponsorship: Please note, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for the position offered. Accordingly, we are unable to hire individuals who require, or will require, employment visa sponsorship either now or in the future.

To the right individual, we offer very competitive compensation, a robust benefits package, an award-winning culture, and rewarding career growth.
