Description

Giant Noise is looking for a part-time Junior Designer (up to 20 hours per week) who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute to visual work across digital, social, print, and campaign execution. This role is ideal for a creative, detail-oriented early-career designer who has a strong eye for design, enjoys a fast-moving environment, and is excited to develop their skills alongside experienced creatives.

The Junior Designer supports the creative team in bringing client brands to life – executing design work across multiple channels, building assets from established brand guidelines and templates, and helping deliver polished, on-brand creative on time. This person brings a solid foundation in typography, layout, and color, a willingness to take direction and feedback, and a growing understanding of how design supports strategy and storytelling.

This role works closely with the Senior Designer, Art Directors, Account teams, Social Strategy, Public Relations, Paid Media, and Production to design, adapt, and prepare work that is visually strong, brand-aligned, and ready for delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Design Execution & Production Support

• Execute design work across marketing, social, print, presentations, and campaign assets for assigned client accounts under the direction of the Senior Designer
• Adapt and resize existing creative across platforms and formats, including social content, paid creative, website assets, email graphics, presentations, and event materials

• Contribute to early concepting and moodboards with guidance from senior team members

Brand Consistency & Visual Craft

• Follow client brand guidelines closely to ensure consistency and quality across all deliverables
• Apply sound typography, layout, color, and composition principles to every project
• Learn the nuances of designing for different platforms, audiences, and content types – from social-first content to press materials to campaign creative
• Stay curious about design trends, visual culture, and emerging platforms, and bring fresh references and inspiration to the team

Collaboration & Feedback

• Work closely with the Senior Designer, Art Directors, Account teams, Social Strategy, PR, Paid Media, and Production throughout the creative process
• Participate in brainstorms, concepting sessions, and internal creative reviews, sharing ideas openly
• Receive and apply feedback from internal teams and clients quickly and thoughtfully
• Ask questions and seek clarity on briefs, direction, and expectations to ensure work aligns with client objectives

Organization & Workflow

• Manage multiple design tasks and deadlines across client accounts within a part-time schedule, with support in prioritization from senior team members
• Communicate progress, questions, and potential roadblocks clearly and early
• Maintain organized files, templates, and asset libraries according to team standards
• Ensure all design files are saved, archived, and handed off cleanly for future use

Learning & Growth

• Actively seek mentorship, feedback, and opportunities to grow design and conceptual skills
• Take initiative on learning new tools, techniques, and workflows
• Support the broader creative team on projects, events, and activations as needed
• Help foster a collaborative, positive, and creatively ambitious team environment

Requirements

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of graphic design or visual design experience, including internships, freelance, or in-house work; agency or studio experience is a plus
• Portfolio demonstrating strong visual design fundamentals, creativity, and attention to detail across digital and/or print work
• Experience or coursework designing for social media, presentations, print, or digital marketing assets
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines while maintaining quality
• Comfort receiving feedback and collaborating with cross-functional teams
• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Advertising, or related field preferred, or equivalent experience

Knowledge & Skills

• Solid foundation in typography, layout, color, and composition
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign

• Eagerness to learn, grow, and take on new challenges
• Detail-oriented with a strong eye for consistency and craft
• Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced creative agency environment

Additional Role Requirements

The role is primarily desk-based in a professional office or remote environment and involves extended periods of computer use, with regular communication via phone, video, Slack, and in-person meetings. Work is generally performed during standard business hours; occasional schedule adjustments may be requested for client deadlines, but any hours outside the regular schedule or beyond 20 hours per week must be approved in advance. All hours worked must be accurately recorded. Occasional local travel or on-site support at shoots, events, or activations may be requested with advance notice and counted toward scheduled hours, including light lifting of materials up to 25 pounds. The role requires strong focus, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently within a part-time schedule.
