01 · Overview
The opportunity
Our creative team builds identity systems and the everyday work that lives inside them. We're hiring a Graphic Designer who can move fluently from a brand exploration on Monday to a print-ready trade-show booth on Friday — and treat both with the same level of craft. You'll work alongside strategists, art directors, and motion designers on accounts where the design is held to a real commercial bar, not just an internal review.
02 · A day in the life
What the week looks like
Monday is concept work — three directions for a new identity, presented at end of day. Tuesday you're extending a system: social templates, pitch deck, an email header set. Wednesday is a press check; Thursday you're prepping artwork for a campaign launching the following week. Friday you sit with the art director for a craft review and a planning session for what's on deck.
03 · What you'll own
The work itself
- 1Concept and execute design across brand, campaign, social, print, and product surfaces.
- 2Build and extend design systems — type, color, grid, components, motion principles.
- 3Prepare and supervise print-ready files end to end, including press checks where needed.
- 4Partner with strategists and copy on integrated campaigns, not just isolated assets.
- 5Mentor junior designers through craft feedback and clear, written reviews.
04 · What success looks like
How we'll measure it
01
Work ships on time, in spec, and survives client review without losing the original idea.
02
The design systems you extend get easier to use over time, not harder.
03
Senior team members trust you to run pieces of work end to end without hand-holding.
