About the Role

We’re looking for a contract Graphic Designer to help evolve and systematize a growing brand identity across a range of programs and touchpoints. You’ll work closely with a lead designer and the broader creative team to develop and refine logos, icons, and cohesive brand systems that scale across marketing, digital, and environmental applications.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for a designer who’s strong in visual systems, detail-oriented, and comfortable collaborating with cross-functional partners.


What You’ll Do

  • Design and evolve brand identity systems, including logos, icons, and supporting visual elements
  • Build scalable guidelines and assets that can be applied across digital, print, environmental, and event use cases
  • Translate strategic/creative direction into clear, polished design concepts and production-ready files
  • Maintain brand consistency across all deliverables while thoughtfully advancing the system
  • Collaborate with the lead designer and stakeholders to review, refine, and iterate on work
  • Prepare assets for handoff to internal teams, vendors, and production partners
  • Contribute to presentation decks and visual storytelling to communicate design rationale


What We’re Looking For

  • 3–5 years of professional experience as a Graphic Designer, Brand Designer, or similar
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating:
  • Brand identity systems work (not just one-off logos)
  • Logo and icon design
  • Cohesive visual systems across multiple touchpoints
  • Excellent command of typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy
  • Proficiency in industry-standard design tools (e.g., Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud)
  • Ability to take direction, incorporate feedback, and iterate quickly
  • Strong attention to detail and a high bar for craft and consistency
  • Comfortable working onsite and collaborating in a fast-paced, growing team environment


Nice to Have

  • Experience collaborating with marketing, events, or environmental/experiential teams
  • Familiarity with design for both digital and print/OOH contexts
  • Experience working within or helping mature an existing brand system



Contract Details

  • Duration: 6 months
  • Hours: 40 hours per week
  • Start: As soon as possible
  • Reporting to: Lead Graphic Designer (with close collaboration with the broader creative team)
