Bring Creativity, Collaboration, and Purpose to Your Work

Beth Tfiloh is seeking a talented, imaginative, and collaborative Graphic Designer and Creative Specialist to join our Marketing and Communications team. This is an exciting opportunity for a creative professional who enjoys transforming ideas into compelling visual communications and wants their work to make a meaningful impact.

We are looking for more than someone who can execute a design. We want a creative thinker who can help develop campaign concepts, themes, slogans, and visual identities; bring fresh ideas to the table; and translate organizational priorities into engaging and effective communications.

The ideal candidate combines strong design skills with creativity, flexibility, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit. They are equally comfortable taking creative direction and contributing original ideas, and they welcome feedback as part of the creative process.

Key Responsibilities

Creative Concept Development & Brand Storytelling

• Collaborate with the Marketing and Communications team to conceptualize and execute creative campaigns that support Beth Tfiloh's school, synagogue, fundraising, and community initiatives.
• Translate organizational goals and messaging into compelling designs that communicate clearly and creatively.
• Help strengthen and evolve Beth Tfiloh's visual identity while maintaining brand consistency across communications.
• Bring fresh perspectives, creative solutions, and innovative approaches to projects of all sizes.

Graphic Design & Print Production

• Design and produce a wide range of high-quality print materials, including brochures, advertisements, invitations, flyers, publications, direct mail, signage, and event collateral.
• Create visually engaging layouts that balance creativity, clarity, and effective communication.
• Maintain consistent application of Beth Tfiloh's visual identity and brand standards.
• Prepare production-ready artwork and coordinate with outside printers and vendors as needed.
• Adapt and repurpose creative materials across multiple formats while maintaining visual consistency and quality.

Digital Design & Multimedia

• Create engaging graphics for social media, email marketing, websites, digital advertising, and other online platforms.
• Adapt designs for different audiences, platforms, and screen sizes.
• Develop and maintain website graphics and content.
• Create simple animation, motion graphics and video content as necessary
• Organize and maintain digital assets, templates, and design files to support an efficient and collaborative workflow.

Collaboration & Project Management

• Work closely with the Marketing and Communications team and colleagues across the school and synagogue to understand project objectives, audiences, and creative needs.
• Serve as a collaborative creative partner, listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and translating ideas and direction into effective designs.
• Balance creative initiative with the ability to follow established direction, incorporate feedback, and refine work to meet organizational goals.
• Manage multiple projects and competing priorities while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.
• Communicate proactively about project status, timelines, and production requirements.
• Approach assignments with flexibility, professionalism, a positive attitude, and a commitment to teamwork.
• Ensure that all creative materials are accurate, polished, and aligned with Beth Tfiloh's mission and brand.

Qualifications & Experience

Required

• Bachelor's degree in graphic design, visual communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 3–5 years of professional graphic design experience.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating creativity, versatility, technical proficiency, and the ability to develop and execute compelling visual concepts.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Adobe Premiere Pro as well as Canva.
• Photography, video editing, animation, or motion graphics skills, including familiarity with or similar applications.
• Strong copy-editing skills and understanding of typography, layout, color, composition, and visual storytelling.
• Experience designing for both print and digital platforms.
• Experience developing creative campaigns, event branding, and marketing concepts.
• Experience with social media graphics and email marketing design.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and emerging creative technologies.
• Working knowledge of print production and file preparation.
• Ability to contribute creative concepts and ideas while also executing projects based on established direction.
• Excellent communication, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and manage multiple assignments.
• Genuine interest in understanding and supporting the mission and values of Beth Tfiloh.
• Familiarity with Jewish traditions, culture, and community life.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and qualifications.
• Potential tuition discounts for eligible employees.
• Full-time position with the flexibility to work remotely one day per week.
