About The Position

We are seeking a highly talented and creative individual to join our team as a Creative Specialist, responsible for innovating and designing content including graphics and other marketing materials for our team. This role requires a unique blend of creativity, technical expertise, leadership, and a passion for technology. The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating compelling and innovative digital content that aligns with our brand and meets our business objectives. This is a hands-on design role. You'll own projects from brief to final delivery, collaborate with marketing and sales teams, and have real creative input on work that gets seen. About 20% of your time will support our WordPress website - updating pages, formatting content, and keeping things visually consistent. If you have motion or video skills, there's room to use them; if not, that's fine too.

Requirements

3-5+ years of professional graphic design experience (agency, in-house, or freelance)
A strong portfolio with recent work across both digital and print - this is the most important part of your application
Expert-level Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop; solid working knowledge of InDesign
Experience updating or building pages in WordPress - you don't need to code, but you should be comfortable in the CMS
Strong communication skills - you can take a brief, ask the right questions, and deliver
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects with tight deadlines.
Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite and related software

Nice To Haves

Experience with After Effects or Premiere Pro for motion graphics or video editing
Background in B2B, tech, or government/defense sector design
Familiarity with UX or web design best practices
Motion/video samples or websites in your portfolio

Responsibilities

Design campaign assets, paid media, event graphics, presentations, and sales collateral that reflect a premium brand
Build and maintain visual consistency across digital and print touchpoints - email, social, web, and print
Update and support the Summit 7 website in WordPress (~20% of your time) - page layouts, imagery, content formatting
Manage your own projects: interpret briefs, hit deadlines, and own the quality of your output
Collaborate with marketing, sales, and leadership to translate business goals into compelling visuals
Contribute ideas - we want a designer who pushes concepts, not just executes them
Edit or produce motion graphics and video content on an as-needed basis (nice to have, not a dealbreaker)
Design and coordinate the printing and shipping of company merchandise, ensuring timely delivery and maintaining inventory records.
