About The Position

TaskForce builds capacity and community for the most influential nonprofits, brands, and people taking on the most pressing challenges facing our state, our nation, and our world. Over the past decade, we’ve powered culturally resonant social impact campaigns — from political moments like Hotties for Harris and the Hope Campaign, to national youth movements like March for Our Lives, to civic initiatives such as LA vs. Hate and Safer at Work. We’ve activated for brands like T-Mobile, MTV, and YouTube, and are recognized as one of the largest producers of public art in the country. Our work sits at the intersection of culture, politics, creativity, and community — and increasingly, that includes wearable and collectible culture. What people wear, carry, post, and share is how movements become visible. We are seeking a seasoned Graphic Designer with deep experience executing bold, strategic design-forward campaigns. This role sits at the intersection of design, storytelling, and public engagement, creating work that not only looks exceptional but drives action and shapes public perception. You will partner with strategists, producers, and campaign leads to translate complex ideas into visually powerful creative across print, digital, environmental, experiential, and event-based touchpoints. This is an opportunity to work on high-visibility campaigns, major public activations, experiences, events, and creative moments that influence conversations and participation at scale.

Requirements

6–10+ years of graphic design experience including branding, typography, layout, compositing, and illustration across both digital and print.
Proven track record of leading complex design projects from conception to production with excellent attention to detail and cross-discipline coordination.
Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), Figma or equivalent; strong understanding of production processes for print, digital, and environmental graphics.
Ability to interpret strategy and narrative goals into bold visual work that fuels impact and resonates emotionally with diverse audiences.
Commitment to social impact work, equity in public engagement, and campaigns that advance participation, awareness, or justice.
