• Collaborate with project managers to determine the best way to deliver information

• Collaborate with company-wide Creative Studio Planners to share and implement best practices in visual design and workflow
• Maintain knowledge of design trends and inspiration; continually inject new ideas into our work

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in transportation, urban and regional planning, or a related major (e.g., geography, landscape architecture, economics)

• General business marketing coursework or experience

• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability Insurance.
• 401(k) Plan with matching and profit sharing.
