About The Position

Scottish Rite for Children is looking for a Graphic Designer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment and understands that great design is equal parts creativity and execution. This role is not for beginners, but for those who have been in the field, worked under pressure and know how to take a project from concept to press without missing a beat. If you’re the kind of designer who catches a RGB vs CMYK color space issue before anyone else does and fixes it before it becomes a problem, we want to talk to you. This role will play a critical role in shaping how Scottish Rite for Children communicates its brand visually across print, digital and environmental design.
