To succeed here, you need business acumen, a desire to learn and grow, the ability to embrace critiques and challenges, and an eagerness to go the extra mile.

You’ll collaborate with a team that includes other designers, writers, marketing account managers and project managers.

The ideal candidate for this position has a can-do, will-do attitude, is passionate about the creative process, takes initiative, and is looking for a career opportunity —not just another job.

Due to the volume of applications, we will only respond to the most qualified candidates. (No phone calls, please.)

  • A formal education, including a graphic design degree.
  • Passion for delivering outstanding design work!
  • Leadership skills and business acumen.
  • Expertise in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (You MUST know how to use these programs correctly, especially InDesign.)
  • Proficiency in all production process steps (preflighting, collecting, resizing, etc.). 
  • Experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Google Suite.
  • Social media experience. (You must be versed in the top social media platforms.)
  • Experience with email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp.
  • Experience in creating animated graphics and video editing.
  • Experience with PowerPoint.
  • Proficiency with website design, especially the Duda platform or similar drag-and-drop website creators (a coding background is not required).
  • Experience with HTML and CSS is a plus. 
  • Copywriting and copyediting experience is a huge plus.
  • Ability to work efficiently and manage details accurately under tight deadlines—and with a positive attitude.
  • Extraordinary time management, organizational and interpersonal communication skills.
  • A fearless spirit—you need to embrace taking risks, asking questions, seeking clarification, and learning new things.
  • Go the extra mile and pitch in wherever needed. (“That’s not my job!” isn’t in our vocabulary.)
