Job description

Some designers chase the brief; the endlessly-iterating Graphic Designer KKR needs chases the truth the brief was too shy to say out loud. Bring 5 years of creative experience to a $46,000 - $65,000 role built around ownership, teamwork, and growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Pair Maze craft with Sketch thinking to solve fuzzy creative problems
• Choreograph the handoff so nothing high-energy gets lost between studio and dev

• Trade pixel polish for speed when a remote deadline says you must
• Anchor a chaotic creative launch around one image that means something
• Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline
• Prototype three creative concepts cheap so the fourth can go deep

What You'll Bring

• Working familiarity with remote schedules and team norms at KKR
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a deeply-bought-in remote team
• Fluency across Sketch and Multitasking, with strong opinions on both
• An ownership-driven bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
