Senior Graphic Designer
The Opportunity
As a Senior Graphic Designer, you’ll serve as an advanced individual contributor responsible for owning and delivering high-quality creative work across a variety of business initiatives. You’ll partner closely with Brand Strategy, Marketing, Events, Sales, Technology, and internal stakeholders to create compelling visual solutions that support both business goals and customer success. This role is ideal for a designer who enjoys ownership without people management—someone who wants to focus on mastering their craft, influencing outcomes, and producing exceptional work. You’ll help move projects from concept to execution while contributing ideas, elevating quality, improving processes, and helping shape the future of a growing in-house creative function.
What You’ll Do
- Own Creative Work From Concept to Completion: Lead projects from idea through final execution across print, digital, events, presentations, retail, and marketing channels; translate briefs and business goals into compelling, effective creative solutions; manage multiple priorities while maintaining strong organization and follow-through; deliver polished, accurate, high-quality work with minimal oversight; take ownership of timelines, details, and final production quality
- Think Beyond Execution: Contribute ideas, concepts, and creative problem-solving—not just design production; apply strategic thinking to creative challenges; balance brand standards with innovation and business objectives; ask thoughtful questions that improve outcomes; continuously look for ways to improve creative effectiveness and efficiency
- Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with marketing, brand strategy, events, and internal stakeholders; present ideas clearly and communicate progress proactively; incorporate feedback thoughtfully and efficiently; help create clarity in ambiguous situations and move work forward
- Elevate Creative Quality: Maintain a high standard for typography, layout, storytelling, and execution; ensure consistency across brands and deliverables; take pride in accuracy, detail, and craftsmanship; help raise the bar creatively through strong judgment and best practices
- Embrace Innovation: Explore emerging creative tools, workflows, and technologies—including AI; identify opportunities to improve speed, personalization, and creative quality; contribute to evolving creative processes and team best practices
