• Cross-Functional Support: Assist the wider marketing team with events and dynamic tasks as needed to support agency objectives.

• Experience: 2-4 years of professional graphic design experience (Agency or automotive industry experience is a major plus!).
• Education: Degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Marketing, or equivalent professional experience.
• Design Mastery: Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign).
• Print Production: Strong understanding of layout, typography, color theory, and preparing files for commercial print.
• Digital/Web Skills: Knowledge of HTML and web-based design principles is highly preferred.

Key Competencies & Requirements:

• Portfolio: A strong, diverse portfolio showcasing your layout, typography, and conceptual skills is required.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and visual presentation skills; comfortable interfacing with all levels of the organization and dealership leadership.
• Project Management: Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment.

• Professionalism: Maintains high professional standards both inside and outside the office while conducting agency business.
• Logistics: Must be at least 18 years of age and hold a valid driver's license for at least 1 year (travel to local dealerships will be required).
