Job description

Description

We’re looking for a Senior Graphic Designer to lead original visual concepts, email and digital campaign-level creative in collaboration with our creative, account, and client teams. This role requires 5+ years of agency or agency-like experience and the ability to lead complex, multi-channel initiatives with confidence and clarity.

About You

You bring seasoned agency experience and a refined creative point of view. You’re confident in your design decisions and can articulate the strategy behind them. You thrive in a collaborative environment but are equally comfortable taking ownership of projects and driving them forward independently.

You can manage multiple high-priority assignments without sacrificing attention to detail or creative integrity, and you’re comfortable presenting work to clients, incorporating feedback thoughtfully, and mentoring junior designers to elevate the overall quality of work across the team. You always, always care about the appearance and effectiveness of the final product — no matter the platform or audience.

About Us

We’re a full-service agency with offices in Des Moines, Sioux Falls and Portland. At the heart of our success has always been human creativity. The role of brilliant individuals, and their original ideas, remains just as relevant today as when we opened our doors 40 years ago. That’s why we continue to take care of our own like we take care of our clients.

Responsibilities

• Lead discovery and concept development in partnership with clients, account teams and creative leadership to define visual direction and campaign strategy.
• Develop high-impact visual concepts across print, direct mail, email, digital display, social and out-of-home platforms.
• Translate client objectives and brand strategies into cohesive visual systems and compelling creative solutions.
• Present creative concepts and rationale to clients and internal stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
• Provide design leadership on complex, multi-channel campaigns.
• Mentor and provide constructive feedback to junior designers and interns to elevate creative output across the team.
• Ensure brand consistency and maintain high creative standards across all deliverables.
• Oversee production preparation, including print specifications and asset delivery, ensuring accuracy and quality.
• Maintain records of billable project time as required.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in an agency or agency-like environment.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking and integrated campaign execution.
• Proficient in Figma.
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite.
• Experience in confidently presenting creative work to clients and internal teams.
• Experience developing creative for email marketing, with an understanding of layout best practices and production specifications.
• Great communication skills, and proactive problem-solver who’s eager to learn about the business of our clients.
• Practices critical thinking and attention to detail.
• You don’t just take orders from the client. You know when an idea can be better, and you know how to push for it.
• Ability to manage multiple projects independently while contributing collaboratively as a senior member of the team.
• Experience mentoring designers or leading creative projects preferred.

Perks + Benefits

• Office in the heart of downtown — steps away from art, culture and some of the city’s best spots for coffee, lunch and happy hour.
• Free downtown parking.
• Comprehensive plans for group health, dental, vision and life insurance.
• 401k with company match.
• Plenty of Personal Time Off (PTO), plus paid holidays.
• Potential for bonuses based on success of agency.
• Even more money for Employee Referral Program.
• Extracurriculars that tend to be historic events.
