• Develop logos and key visuals for new brand initiatives, promotions, and campaign launches
• Work closely with internal stakeholders (marketing, product, retail) to bring brand concepts to life
• Help define and evolve visual identity systems across new and emerging initiatives
• Ensure all creative adheres to brand guidelines, retailer specs, and project timelines

What We're Looking For:
• 2–4+ years of experience in Graphic Design or Art Direction (in-house or agency)
• A strong portfolio showcasing brand-aligned creative across events, retail, and promotional activations
• Demonstrated experience working within established brand systems—Walmart, Vuori, Target, or similar
• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Strong organizational and project management skills with an ability to manage multiple workstreams
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills; comfortable working cross-functionally and with external partners
