About the Role
The Manager, Graphic Design, is a hands-on creative with expertise in print production and digital communication, responsible for bringing the Ouimet Fund story to life across print and digital channels.

What You'll Do

·     Design and produce print materials, including event programs, donor communications, annual reports, direct mail, signage, and collateral, with attention to layout, typography, and print-ready file prep

·     Create static digital assets, including email graphics, social media graphics, web banners, and presentation materials, that extend the brand consistently beyond print

·     Plan and execute photo shoots for marketing, product, and branding needs, including setting up lighting and composition, directing subjects, and editing/retouching final images to align with brand guidelines.

·     Manage the full print production process: color proofing, paper stock selection, and press checks with outside vendors

·     Manage email marketing: plan and maintain email marketing calendar, build/create content, and schedule distribution to ensure proper cadence

·     Support marketing and communication strategy with the collection and analysis of email marketing metrics

·     Work with the Director of Development and other departments to translate strategic direction into brand and mission-first creative

·     Collaborate closely with the Manager, Video and Social Content, to ensure visual consistency and a cohesive brand story across static and video/digital content

·     Ensure projects move from concept to completion on time, on brand, and with quality

·     Maintain brand consistency across all organizational channels and touchpoints, both print and digital

·     Perform all other duties as assigned and required

What We're Looking For

·     Bachelor’s degree with a focus on creative design plus 2-4 years of experience in graphic design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating print design, digital asset creation, creative concepting, and storytelling

·     Proven ability to take a strategic brief and develop original creative concepts and narratives, not just execute existing direction

·     High-level print design skills: layout and typography for multi-page documents, understanding of CMYK color, bleed/trim/safety, paper stocks, and finishing techniques (foil, embossing, die-cutting, etc.)

·     Skilled in designing static digital assets (email, social, web, digital ads) optimized for their respective platforms and specs

·     Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) required, with InDesign fluency emphasized

·     Proficiency in photography (camera operation, lighting, and composition) and photo editing software such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, with the ability to produce polished, on-brand images for both print and digital use

·     Experience managing vendor relationships with commercial printers, including press checks and proofing

·     Organized, deadline-driven, and proactive in communication

·     Comfortable working in a small, mission-driven organization where everyone wears multiple hats and supports each other

·     Familiarity with project management systems is a plus

·     Prior professional or personal experience in or around the game of golf is a plus

Benefits

·     Hiring Salary Range: $65,000-$75,000 based on the candidate

·     Annual Review with potential bonus

·     Flexible hybrid work schedule (3 days in office in Norton, MA)

·     Reimbursed work travel
