Graphics Programmer Jobs in Pasadena, CA (NOW HIRING)

Sinclair, Inc. is expanding its portfolio of audience-first digital brands, original social programming, and podcasts. We're seeking a Multimedia Graphic Designer to work closely with the Associate Creative Director and Editorial Teams to create compelling creative for Sinclair's growing collection of brands and shows that help our growing portfolio connect with audiences across every platform.

We're looking for someone with strong graphic design skills and experience editing video for digital and social platforms. This role is primarily focused on creating high-quality visual design while providing support for video editing, motion graphics, and multimedia projects as production needs evolve.

The majority of your work will focus on brand execution, campaign development, presentations, marketing collateral, and digital design, with opportunities to edit promotional content, create social videos, and update existing motion graphics when production demands require additional support.

The ideal candidate has exceptional typography, layout, composition, and branding skills, paired with a solid understanding of video editing, pacing, storytelling, and platform-specific creative. You don't need to be a senior editor or motion designer, but you should be comfortable independently producing polished short-form video content and modifying existing motion graphics projects.

If you're passionate about brand design, visual storytelling, and creating engaging content across both static and motion mediums, we'd love to see your work.

**Please include a portfolio showcasing both graphic design and video work.**
