- Design and produce marketing assets for both digital and print: signage, flyers, ads, social content, apparel, packaging, etc.
- Work within established brand guidelines across multiple sub-brands, while pushing creativity and evolution when appropriate
- Collaborate closely with leadership, marketing team members, and external partners to bring campaigns to life
- Take part in creative strategy sessions to brainstorm concepts, develop themes, and storyboard visual storytelling
- Provide layout and design support for presentations, sponsorship decks, pitch materials, and internal communications
- Guide and mentor interns in design best practices (no direct staff management required)
- Manage projects efficiently and independently, from creative brief to final file prep
- Coordinate with print vendors, photographers, and videographers as needed
Required Skills & Experience
- 2–5 years of experience in a graphic design or visual communications role
- Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop); working knowledge of Canva and PowerPoint
- Portfolio showcasing strong visual design, branding, and creative versatility
- Ability to work on multiple projects across varied brand voices and business types
- Experience working with brand strategy or messaging is a strong plus
- Clear communicator who collaborates well in a fast-paced environment
- Ability to self-manage and meet deadlines while maintaining a high standard of quality
