Pay Range:
$55,600.00 - $91,450.00Working within our in-house creative team, you'll partner with UI/UX, development, and marketing to produce polished page builds, brand-aligned mockups, and visual standards that hold up across every digital touchpoint.

What You’ll Do
Mockups & Page Building
- Produce visual mockups that give UI/UX and development teams a clear, realistic creative target when updating the design system
- Document visual intent, including photography direction, spacing decisions, and brand rationale, so handoffs are clear and actionable
- Design within known component and CMS constraints
- Build and publish pages in Drupal CMS, assembling components, imagery, and content into polished, on-brand layouts
- Apply strong layout judgment (hierarchy, spacing, image placement) within defined component constraints
- Own the visual quality of every page you build: photography tone, typographic treatment, and overall brand fidelity
- Prepare and optimize all image assets prior to CMS integration
Cross-Functional Partnership
- Serve as the creative voice within UI/UX and development workflows, ensuring brand standards are upheld through execution
- Translate creative direction into technical context and vice versa, and be fluent in both conversations
- Surface visual quality issues early and bring solutions, not just observations
Brand & Visual Standards
- Conduct visual QA of live and staged pages against brand guidelines
- Maintain and contribute to usage documentation and imagery references and templates for the broader team
- Champion brand consistency across every digital touchpoint, from hero images to component-level asset crops
What You’ll Bring
Required
- 3 to 5 years of experience in digital or graphic design with demonstrated web production work
- Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Web Design, Digital Media, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) and working knowledge of Figma, applied to both UI design contexts and digital asset creation
- Strong hands-on experience with CMS platforms; Drupal 11 strongly preferred
- Strong layout sensibility: grid, hierarchy, visual balance, and image integration within constrained environments
- Clear communicator, able to articulate design rationale, present mockups to cross-functional stakeholders, and synthesize feedback into aligned, actionable direction
- Comfortable facilitating design reviews, feedback sessions, and knowledge-sharing with peers
- A robust portfolio demonstrating web design, digital collateral (email, social, landing pages), and real-world production execution
- Strong attention to detail, organizational discipline, and production quality
Preferred
- Experience creating cross-functional guidelines or process frameworks for handoff and collaboration
- Familiarity with Bynder (DAM) and Monday.com or similar workflow management tools
- HTML/CSS literacy sufficient to understand layout constraints and communicate feasibility with developers
