Job description

Most briefs are vague on purpose, and the steady-handed Graphic Designer we want at Public Service Institute reads that ambiguity as an invitation, not an obstacle. This is where 1 years becomes $59,000 - $91,000, where internship hours meet real creative ownership, and where Public Service Institute bets on you.

Key Responsibilities

• Localize creative for Glendale audiences without flattening the original idea
• Carve a distinct lane for Public Service Institute in a creative space crowded with sameness
• Curate and art-direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
• Write microcopy that does the heavy lifting buttons usually get blamed for
• Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock
• Edit raw footage and audio into share-ready stories for multiple platforms

What You'll Bring

• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
• Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
• An outcome-focused bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• Oddball-friendly problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
• Comfort being measured against a clear junior bar

At Public Service Institute, a wildly-collaborative Glendale-based studio, the whole mission boils down to making Iconography feel effortless for everyone downstream. We believe the best creative decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

You bring the Conflict Resolution; we bring $59,000 - $91,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the freedom to grow on your terms in Glendale.

We touched the timestamp today; the Graphic Designer hunt continues in earnest.
