[Hiring] Graphic & Production Designer @D2B

Role Description

The client is looking for a graphic designer to serve as their production design partner. This role is the hands-on execution layer of their marketing design output — taking brand assets, illustrations, and briefs from their internal team and turning them into finished, production-ready deliverables across packaging, venue, digital, and trade channels.

Briefs, assets, and feedback will be managed through Airtable and Google Drive. We move quickly and expect a partner who can match their pace without sacrificing quality.

  • Basic CMS proficiency, responsive design awareness, and web accessibility fundamentals.
• Trade Pitch Decks:

  • Update with current range information, venue data, social proof, and sustainability credentials.

  • Comfort with high volume, quick pivots, and concurrent briefs is essential.
