Job description

Volkswagen is looking for a storyteller-designer — a Print Designer who can carry an idea from napkin to launch. Pair warm-yet-rigorous drive with 3 years and Volkswagen returns $68,000 - $103,000, a Portland base, and growth that outpaces the title.

Key Responsibilities

• Localize creative for the Portland, OR market while preserving brand consistency
• Write microcopy that does the heavy lifting buttons usually get blamed for
• Shape the unboxing moment Portland buyers screenshot and share unprompted
• Deliver pixel-perfect, production-ready files to engineering and print teams
• Time the reveal in a launch film so the logo lands earned, not slapped on
• Reframe constraints from the part-time budget as the brief's most useful lever
• Keep the autonomy-driven brand promise intact while every channel demands its own dialect
• Translate Design Tokens research findings into a visual the whole floor can act on

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with Volkswagen-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Proven Layout Design judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
• The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Demonstrated wins in creative work somewhere near Portland, OR
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
