Job description

Company Description

While this position is fully remote, we're looking for candidates that live in the U.S. This is to facilitate communication and coordination with internal teams and clients.

The Digital Ring is a marketing agency built for brands ready to level up. We're a crew of business-minded strategists, creatives, and developers who bring big ideas to life - through web design, SEO, content marketing, branding, paid digital advertising, and more.

We don't just work for our clients - we work with them, diving deep into their world to craft custom strategies that drive real results.

Startup spirit. Agency chops. No buzzwords, no fluff - just smart, bold marketing that gets the job done (and makes it fun along the way).

This is a production-focused role where you'll create a wide range of digital and print assets - from website designs to social graphics to brochures - while learning from and supporting our senior creative team.

The ideal candidate is organized, detail-obsessed, adaptable, and eager to learn. You're someone who takes direction well but isn't afraid to ask questions, propose ideas, or get creative within a given framework. Experience using AI tools for design is a bonus - and excitement about the future of AI in the creative world is a must.

• Produce digital assets such as websites, emails, social media graphics, and digital ads
• Design print materials like brochures, flyers, signage, and other marketing collateral
• Support branding projects by helping research visual trends and assist in developing logos, typography, and color palettes
• Resize and adapt designs across multiple formats and platforms
• Help prepare and organize creative assets for client presentations
• Occasionally assist with presenting work to clients, alongside senior designers
• Stay tuned into design trends and AI tools to keep work fresh and relevant
  
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field - or equivalent experience
• 1+ years of professional design experience
• A portfolio that shows a range of strong digital and print work
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
• Basic understanding of web design principles (WordPress or Webflow experience is a plus)
• Familiarity with AI tools for design (like Firefly, DALL-E, Midjourney, or Canva AI tools) and an interest in learning more
• Ability to follow creative direction and produce high-quality, on-brand work efficiently
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills - able to juggle multiple projects at once
• Strong communication skills - written, verbal, and visual
• Ability to take constructive feedback positively and iterate quickly
