To succeed here, you need business acumen, a desire to learn and grow, the ability to embrace critiques and challenges, and an eagerness to go the extra mile.

Due to the volume of applications, we will only respond to the most qualified candidates. (No phone calls, please.)

  • A formal education, including a graphic design degree.
  • Passion for delivering outstanding design work!
  • Leadership skills and business acumen.
  • Expertise in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (You MUST know how to use these programs correctly, especially InDesign.)

  • Experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Google Suite.
  • Social media experience. (You must be versed in the top social media platforms.)
  • Experience with email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp.
  • Experience in creating animated graphics and video editing.

  • Copywriting and copyediting experience is a huge plus.
  • Ability to work efficiently and manage details accurately under tight deadlines—and with a positive attitude.
  • Extraordinary time management, organizational and interpersonal communication skills.
