Graphics Designer

Graphic Designer

At Hearst Newspapers, we're transforming how local businesses connect with their communities. We're looking for a talented, creative Graphic Designer to join our Midwest Creative Services team—someone who thrives on bringing ideas to life through compelling visual storytelling across print and digital platforms.

If you're passionate about great design, enjoy collaborating with a variety of teams, and love balancing creativity with strategy, we'd love to meet you.

As a Graphic Designer, you'll create engaging marketing materials that help businesses grow and support Hearst's award-winning brands. Every day is different—you might be designing a digital campaign, creating a print advertisement, developing promotional materials, or collaborating with Sales and Marketing to bring a client's vision to life.

You'll:

• Design high-quality print and digital marketing materials, including advertisements, brochures, direct mail, presentations, signage, social media graphics, and promotional campaigns.
• Create production-ready files that meet print and digital specifications.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, Production, Editorial, and other internal teams to develop creative solutions that achieve business goals.
• Work directly with internal stakeholders—and occasionally clients—to understand project objectives and deliver exceptional creative work.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining outstanding attention to detail and meeting deadlines.
• Contribute ideas that improve creative quality, workflows, and team collaboration.

You're naturally creative, organized, and curious. You enjoy solving problems through design and take pride in producing polished work that exceeds expectations. You're comfortable juggling multiple priorities and understand that great communication is just as important as great design.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience designing for both print and digital media.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop).
• A solid understanding of typography, layout, branding, color theory, and print production.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• A customer-focused mindset and a passion for delivering exceptional work.

At Hearst Newspapers, we believe technology empowers creativity.

Through our exclusive ChatGPT Enterprise partnership and growing portfolio of AI-powered tools, our designers use AI to streamline workflows, generate creative concepts, organize ideas, improve copy, and accelerate routine tasks—giving you more time to focus on what matters most: creating exceptional work.

We're looking for someone who's excited to explore how emerging technology can enhance creativity while keeping great design and human judgment at the center of everything we do.
