Our client is seeking a mid-level graphic designer to join their Marketing Team, focusing on the creation of engaging content for various platforms including web banner ads, PowerPoint presentations, social media, and broader marketing campaigns. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in graphic design and be proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. The team currently utilizes established templates to ensure adherence to branding guidelines, making it essential for the new designer to be detail-oriented and capable of following these standards while also bringing their creative flair to the projects. The graphic designer will be integrated into the Brand and Web marketing team, which is composed of a diverse group of professionals including a full-time designer, a hybrid designer and writer, a copywriter, a content editor, a project manager, and two web specialists. This collaborative environment emphasizes teamwork, although the designer will also have opportunities to lead individual projects. As the team anticipates migrating to Figma in the fourth quarter, experience with this tool will be highly advantageous, as it will facilitate a smoother transition and enhance collaborative design efforts. Candidates should possess a four-year degree in marketing or advertising, which is preferred but not mandatory. The company values a collaborative spirit and seeks individuals who are not only skilled but also contribute positively to the team dynamic. A portfolio showcasing previous work, particularly in web design, display/banner ads, flyers, PowerPoint presentations, and PDF documents, is required. The portfolio should highlight work that the candidate has independently created, rather than solely team projects, to demonstrate their individual capabilities and design style.
