Why You?
How you’ll know if you’re a fit…

You must have the following skills: graphic design, art direction, motion graphics, and web/email design. It’s a plus if you have familiarity with Illustration, data visualizations/infographics, and light experience with HTML. Strong skills in Adobe CS and Figma are required. It’s great if you have experience working with large-scale design systems and have an understanding of web accessibility and best design practices. Experience in creating and managing detailed component redlines and usage documentation is expected. Plus, you possess a strong understanding of component libraries. You thrive in a fast-paced, highly dynamic environment with multiple stakeholders.
This is a highly collaborative role that calls for a high degree of cross-functional work. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get the work done. Note: You MUST have a link to an online portfolio; you will not be considered without a portfolio website.
