About The Position

Navigate is seeking a Graphic Designer to provide support of a temporary business need. This is a temporary position working full-time hours expected to begin in September 2026 and continue through approximately end of January 2027. The assignment is intended to support a temporary business need and is expected to conclude around that time, although the duration may be adjusted based on business needs. This is a production-focused, request-driven role. The primary responsibility is managing and fulfilling a steady volume of promotional material requests submitted by our Client Success Managers (CSMs), who rely on these materials to support our clients' wellbeing programs. The majority of the work centers on editing and modifying existing templates in Adobe InDesign rather than developing original creative concepts. The ideal candidate will receive incoming requests, complete the required edits, ask clarifying questions to ensure accuracy, and deliver polished collateral on time. Strong proficiency in InDesign, clear communication, and a consistent ability to meet deadlines are essential to success in this position. This role is embedded in the Marketing team and collaborates closely with CSMs and other cross-functional partners. The position reports to the Director of Marketing. Success in this role is defined by the ability to consistently produce accurate, high-quality materials that meet the needs of our CSMs, maintain an organized and moving request queue during our peak season, and communicate proactively at every stage of the process. Candidates are not expected to have mastery of every aspect of graphic design; however, demonstrated confidence in InDesign, strong organizational skills, and reliability under deadline pressure are non-negotiable.
