Primary Responsibilities

We’re looking for someone at a senior level, consultant level, or mid-level producer level. 1 or 2 candidates may be hired as a result.

You’ll be responsible for design for our various digital marketing clients. This will range from new website design, webpages using existing brand guidelines, and other graphic needs. Other possibilities include illustrations, UX/UI design, email templates, and print work.
