About the position

Janney Montgomery Scott LLC is seeking a Junior Graphic Designer to join our Learning & Professional Development Team.

Your responsibilities will include working on a diverse range of projects, such as brochures, PowerPoint and Word templates, logo branding, website graphics, email communications, event signage, and more. You will be expected to create timelines, set meetings, and balance your workload effectively. Additionally, you will modify and revise existing designs to meet departmental needs and improve design quality. Staying current with design trends and best practices will be essential to ensure that your designs remain innovative and effective.
