POSITION SUMMARY

We're looking for a senior creative who can both set the vision and produce the work. This position is 20-30 hours a week. Half the job is direction — shaping how our brand looks and feels and turning a business goal into a concept. The other half is execution — taking a project brief and a stack of sales copy and building it into a finished print and digital assets.

You'll work closely with Sales and Marketing to design marketing collateral for a range of audiences: government, non-profits, general contractors, and individual homeowners. We need someone who can take a brief and run with it, bring strong creative ideas of their own, and keep our brand consistent everywhere it shows up.

Responsibilities

·        Set creative direction

·        Own and evolve our brand identity

·        Design and produce marketing collateral: brochures, booklets, one-pagers, flyers, signage, trade-show and event materials, ads, and sales handouts

·        Collaborate and work with Marketing Manager on building social media graphics and short-form video content

·        Keep files, source assets, and versions organized in a clean workflow

Qualifications

·        6+ years of professional design experience

·        Experience building or evolving a brand identity or design system end to end

·        Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) and Canva

·        A strong command of typography, color, layout, and production and print fundamentals

·        The ability to present an idea, stand behind it, and connect creative choices to the goal

·        Self-directed and organized, with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines

·        A positive & can-do attitude

 

 The Ideal Candidate...

·        Experience in construction, real estate, architecture or homebuilding

·        Understanding of renderings based on 2D or 3D drawings

·        A very good relationship with Ai tools to help create visually appealing product offerings

·        Photography or photo-retouching skills

Summary

Submit a portfolio (or link) and a short note about your experience and availability.
