Our people trust us because we provide a safe work environment. Our commitment to deliver the best technologies and practices meets and exceeds expectations. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. If you'd like to help us educate and empower the people who care for and deliver on our customer promise - we need you.

- Deliver design work that consistently raises the bar and optimizes for operational excellence and best practices
- Work across partner teams (marketing, engineering, business leads, product and program management) to meet shared goals and influence outcomes beyond the immediate team
- Present ideas and visual concepts to senior leaders and broader stakeholder groups, using sound judgment in communication and design artifacts
- Manage trade-offs between time, quality, and resources; make informed decisions on when to resolve issues independently versus escalate
- Contribute to team knowledge-sharing and process improvement
- Discuss client and stakeholder needs, identify target audiences, and develop visual ideas that suit the brief
- Contribute to and follow WHS visual style standards and brand guidelines
- Work with production vendors to acquire estimates, approve samples, and ensure delivered materials are consistent with original artwork and mockups
