Graphic Designer

Graphic Designer JKR Windows | St. George, UT | Full-Time | Reports to: Senior Creative Director Portfolio required. Applications submitted without a portfolio will not be reviewed. About JKR Windows JKR Windows is a well-established company that's serious about growth. We're one of the fastest-growing replacement window companies in the country. Founded in 2018, we're scaling fast across multiple states. We hire talent-dense teams, pay above market, and build systems that allow great people to do their best work. We're not a big slow corporate environment, and we're not a chaotic startup. We're a real company with real standards. But the work means something bigger than windows. We believe every person can find a better path forward from wherever they are. That belief shapes the way we train, the way we lead, and the way we show up for each other. It's hard work. It requires commitment. And it's worth it. JKR Windows is a people development company that just happens to sell windows. About the Role We're building a full in-house creative department and this role sits at the center of it. As our Graphic Designer you'll own the visual output across digital and print, from social graphics and marketing campaigns to event materials, internal communications, and brand collateral. You'll also work directly with our in-house development team on UI and website projects, and play a supporting role in the company's events program. Our creative team owns event production end to end, from the overall experience design to the logistics and execution on the ground. You'll work directly with our Senior Creative Director and collaborate closely with the broader creative team. A dedicated project manager handles timelines and task coordination so you can stay focused on the work. Why This Role JKR has a high-quality product in a high-demand industry. Our job on the creative team is to tell that story in a way that's sharp, creative, and memorable, both to the customers deciding to trust us with their home and to the sales force that needs to feel proud of where they work. We produce internal and external marketing campaigns, sales incentives, competitions, and some of the best corporate swag in the industry. We're building this department from scratch inside a company that's actively investing in it: brand new equipment, a brand new headquarters, and leadership that treats creative as a real driver of the business, not an afterthought. This is a fast-paced environment. We move quickly, we try new things, and we expect the people on this team to bring their best work consistently. If you want to coast, this isn’t the place. If you want real ownership, real investment, and a team that's actually building something instead of maintaining what already exists, this is it. This is not a role for someone who treats AI as optional. We expect this person to be AI-native in how they work, using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and AI image generation as a natural part of the design process. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster, prototype smarter, and spend more time on the work that actually requires a skilled human eye.
