How You Contribute To Our Success

Navigate is seeking a Graphic Designer to provide support of a temporary business need.

This role is embedded in the Marketing team and collaborates closely with CSMs and other cross-functional partners. The position reports to the Director of Marketing.

Success in this role is defined by the ability to consistently produce accurate, high-quality materials that meet the needs of our CSMs, maintain an organized and moving request queue during our peak season, and communicate proactively at every stage of the process. Candidates are not expected to have mastery of every aspect of graphic design; however, demonstrated confidence in InDesign, strong organizational skills, and reliability under deadline pressure are non-negotiable.

• Learn and utilize the systems and processes that support the marketing function
• Maintain quality control standards through organized tracking and review practices
• Contribute to team success by adapting to shifting priorities and demonstrating a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach

The Ideal Candidate

• Demonstrated proficiency in Adobe InDesign, with particular experience editing and modifying existing design templates
• Solid working knowledge of graphic design principles, including typography, color, and layout consistency
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage a high volume of concurrent requests without compromising quality
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to ask targeted clarifying questions and provide timely updates
• Self-motivated and proactive, with a proven track record of meeting and exceeding deadlines
• Receptive to feedback and direction, with a professional and collaborative working style
