As a Senior Graphic Designer, you’ll be responsible for contributing to, maintaining, and shaping the future of the visual brand on our web properties.

• Build and maintain consistency of brand standards and guidelines
• Contribute to the front-end web development for your designs
• Provide mentorship and feedback to junior members on the team
• Help guide strategy across web properties
• Occasionally work on other marketing and brand collateral including but not limited to sticker and apparel swag, slide presentations, print and conference collateral

• Video/animation experience a plus
• Self-starter who can execute on ideas, manage and prioritize multiple design tasks
• You consider yourself a “wearer of many hats,” with the ability to take an idea from concept to sketches to high-fidelity designs, and finally seeing it through with web developers to make sure your designs are 100% pixel-perfect.
• A belief that organizations and industries are best when they are diverse and inclusive, and a commitment to ensuring that everything we do reflects that belief.
