ABOUT THE COMPANY

Cocktail Academy is a creative agency that brings spirits and hospitality brands to life through bold design, immersive storytelling, and unforgettable experiences. Our work spans brand identity, experiential activations, content creation, and strategic design solutions.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a seasoned, highly reliable graphic designer who can step in as a lead-level contributor on a project basis. This person is fast, adaptable, and confident taking direction, while also bringing strong design judgment to the table. You’ll thrive here if you’re comfortable supporting an existing lead designer and owning work independently when needed.

• Support and collaborate with our long-standing lead designer, stepping in as coverage during planned time off
• Translate creative direction quickly and accurately into polished design output
• Develop layouts, typography systems, and visual treatments aligned to brand guidelines
• Create pitch decks, presentation templates, and client-facing materials
• Design assets for events and activations, including signage, experiential graphics, and collateral
• Ensure consistency and quality across all deliverables
• Manage multiple short-term projects and deadlines with minimal oversight

YOU’LL SUCCEED IF YOU HAVE

• 5+ years of graphic design experience, ideally in an agency or experiential setting
• A strong portfolio showing brand identity work, layouts, and real-world applications
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Excellent understanding of typography, composition, and visual hierarchy
• Experience designing for both print and digital formats
• The ability to take feedback well and execute quickly without ego
• Strong time management and comfort working in a project-based, month-to-month structure

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience working with spirits, hospitality, or lifestyle brands
• Familiarity with experiential or event-based design
• Motion, presentation, or light illustration skills

WHY JOIN THIS TEAM

Cocktail Academy is a tight-knit, design-driven team that values speed, clarity, and high creative standards. This role offers flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to work on visually ambitious projects with a team that knows exactly what good design looks like.
