Executive Hallmark Graphic Design Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Posting Date
06/02/2026
2000 16th Street, Denver, Colorado, 80202, United States of America
Location: Hybrid role based in Denver, CO (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in office days)
The Graphic Design Manager is a visionary creative lead, brand strategist, and strategic visual storyteller responsible for bridging the gap between complex healthcare operations and high-impact communication. While strong design execution is expected, this role goes beyond asset creation and presentation design; it requires a highly strategic thinker who can shape and elevate DaVita's brand identity.
This role demands a multi-faceted expert: one who can seamlessly navigate high-stakes B2B environments, B2C (Patient-facing) needs, and internal B2E (Teammate-facing) campaigns, while also serving as the primary creative visionary for executive-level pitches and large-scale event visuals. The successful candidate is not just a "maker" but a persuasive communicator, brand strategist, and organized lead capable of pitching creative strategies directly to executive leadership. You will use advanced design capabilities, the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, and sophisticated workflows to transform clinical data into compelling, visionary narratives for physician partners, investors, and internal town halls.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Multi-Channel Execution (B2B, B2C & B2E): Conceptualize and produce high-quality visionary assets across digital, print, and environmental platforms. This includes patient education materials (B2C), social media campaigns, sales collateral (B2B), and internal (B2E) events and activations.
Brand Strategy, Executive Pitching & Creative Consultation: Act as a strategic partner to senior leadership. Bring an ethereal, visionary approach to our brand identity. Lead creative "pitches," presenting overarching brand concepts and rationale to executive stakeholders, defending creative decisions with data-driven insights, and translating leadership vision into actionable, high-level design strategies.
Strategic Translation & Data Visualization: Partner with leaders to translate complex data into intuitive visual narratives. Design audience-centric materials that explain kidney care clearly while maintaining professional quality for all stakeholders.
High-Stakes Presentation & Visual Design: Lead the design and animation of executive-level presentations. Use advanced PowerPoint features and design tools to create "show-style" decks for large-scale events, investor meetings, and physician conferences, ensuring they align with broader brand strategy.
Operational Excellence & Brand Stewardship: Champion DaVita's brand identity across all media. Manage and evolve a library of scalable templates. Utilize project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet) to track workstreams, manage deadlines, and collaborate efficiently with cross-functional teams.
A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL DEMONSTRATE

• Visionary Brand Strategy: An ethereal, forward-thinking approach to design that goes beyond standard asset creation to truly shape and advance the brand.
• Executive Presence: Exceptional verbal communication skills; the ability to sit at the table with senior leaders and confidently pitch, pivot, and persuade.
• Presentation Mastery: Ability to build complex, "non-linear" PowerPoint decks that feel like high-end motion graphics.
• Workflow Proficiency: A disciplined approach to managing high-volume, high-accuracy output within established tracking systems.
• Empathetic Storytelling: The ability to simplify "medical-speak" for patients (B2C) while maintaining the clinical rigor required for B2B audiences.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Education: Bachelor's degree in graphic design, Visual Communications, or related field (Required).
• Experience: 6 to 8+ years of professional design experience, with a heavy emphasis on brand strategy, corporate B2B, consumer-facing (B2C), and Executive Presentation/Pitch Design (Required).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Motion Graphics: Experience with Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro for event video content.
• Event & Show Experience: Knowledge of environmental design and aspect ratios for stage screens (LED walls, projection).
• Modern Workflow: Proficiency in Smartsheet for automated approvals or resource tracking. Familiarity with Figma (UI/UX) or AI-driven ideation tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly).
• Healthcare Experience: Specific experience in patient education, clinical marketing, or a similarly regulated industry.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS & VISUAL REQUIREMENTS

• Physical: Ability to lift a minimum of 5 lbs. unassisted; manual dexterity for computer use.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

• Location: Denver, CO strongly preferred.
• Hybrid Schedule: Alignment with DaVita's hybrid work model.
