This is not an entry-level role or a production-only design job. We need someone who has built brands, websites, campaign concepts, and digital creative from the ground up, not just contributed edits to someone else’s work. A strong portfolio is required, and it should show original thinking, polished execution, and the ability to carry a design system across multiple formats.

The right person brings a clear design perspective, understands the audience, and can explain how a design captures attention, organizes information, and moves a person toward action. Website design is a major part of this role, so UI/UX experience is strongly encouraged.

This person must be comfortable taking rough input, developing creative direction, presenting ideas, incorporating feedback, and moving quickly without losing quality. We would strongly prefer someone with agency, consulting, advocacy, public affairs, political, or other fast-moving client service experience., * 7+ years of professional digital, graphic, web, or brand design experience.
