How You Contribute to Our Success
Navigate is seeking a Graphic Designer to provide support of a temporary business need. This is a temporary position working full-time hours expected to begin in September 2026 and continue through approximately end of January 2027. The assignment is intended to support a temporary business need and is expected to conclude around that time, although the duration may be adjusted based on business needs.
This is a production-focused, request-driven role. The primary responsibility is managing and fulfilling a steady volume of promotional material requests submitted by our Client Success Managers (CSMs), who rely on these materials to support our clients' wellbeing programs.
