POSITION OVERVIEW

PMG is seeking a Senior Graphic Designer + Brand Strategist to develop bold, brand-aligned creative and strategic marketing deliverables for our private, public, and nonprofit clients. This hybrid role blends high-level brand development with hands-on design execution, working closely with the Director of Brand Strategy.

This role requires a versatile, systems-minded creative with a minimum of 7 years of experience in graphic design, brand development, or integrated marketing—someone who can build scalable design solutions, think strategically, and execute with polish. The ideal candidate has sharp design instincts, marketing fluency, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clean, compelling visuals that work across formats and platforms. A passion for storytelling, an eye for detail, and the ability to own projects from concept to completion are essential.

This is a full-time, hybrid position requiring 40 hours per week, with in-person collaboration in the Indianapolis area or at PMG’s headquarters in Carmel.
