Job description

The empty page doesn't scare you; it's the most honest collaborator you've got, and Advisory Excellence Group wants that fearlessness in a Brand Designer. Reduce it to essentials and you have $83,000 - $113,000, a MA Brand Designer seat, 3 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

• Wireframe the unglamorous Principle screens with the same care as the hero shot
• Direct freelancers and Adobe InDesign vendors without losing the thread of the vision
• Pull a coherent palette from a logo three agencies already over-touched
• Mine customer interviews for the one phrase that becomes the whole campaign
• Keep current with Layout Design and Adobe Premiere Pro to expand the creative toolkit
• Convert vague flexible adjectives from a brief into concrete, defensible choices
• Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass
• Stitch fragmented brand assets into a system that scales past Advisory Excellence Group's next phase

What You'll Bring

• At least 4 years of standing behind your own estimates
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, candor-rich environment
• Comfort owning creative decisions in a MA market
• Real Interpersonal Skills chops, plus the Layout Design curiosity to keep growing
• 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through

The remote-friendly team behind Advisory Excellence Group chose Cambridge on purpose, betting that great creative work doesn't need a coastal zip code. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Advisory Excellence Group, not a badge of remote-native honor.

Expect $83,000 - $113,000, yes, but also expect the kind of benefits and remote flexibility that make Mondays in Cambridge feel lighter.
