• Bachelor's degree in graphic or multimedia design (preferred)
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and PowerPoint
• Experience with print production, including large-format and environmental graphics
• Understanding of materials, fabrication processes, or spatial/wayfinding systems
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

Considerations:

• Base salary: $75-85k annually
• Hybrid schedule: 3 days in-office (Tues-Thurs) and 2 days remote (Mon & Fri)
• This role is located in either LA or NYC

Base salary represents the salary range that Allied Sports, in good faith, might be willing to pay for this job at the time of this posting. Actual base salary depends on several factors, including market dynamics, location and region, experience, specialized skills/training (education), and level of responsibility. Allied Sports expects to hire for this position near the middle of the range. Allied Sports would consider paying a salary or rate near the higher end of the range only in truly exceptional circumstances, where an external candidate has experience, credentials, or expertise that far exceed those required or expected for the position.
