Senior Graphic Designer

Overview

Corporate Tools is hiring a Senior Graphic Designer to join our team. This is a remote position, but if you're near one of our local offices, you're welcome to come hangout with us in-office as well. Our main offices are in Post Falls, ID, and Spokane, WA; we also have satellite offices in Austin, TX, and Salt Lake City, UT. You'll be working 40 hours a week and, of course, enjoy great company benefits.


We are looking for a Senior Graphic Designer to help lead design projects and take initiative on large scale projects. This role will require someone who is collaborative and enjoys somewhat ambiguous projects.


The role works with a portfolio of many websites and an ever-expanding set of software tools, but they are all in-house projects (no external clients). Projects may include web designs/redesigns, app development, spot illustrations, iconography, logo/brand development, brand campaigns for social media and external channels, and graphic support on video and animation projects.


You will be able to draw on your skills and experience to do whatever you need to get the job done right. You should have an interest in researching to understand the users and visitors of these properties and think outside the box to raise the level of the projects you'll work on. This is a chance to really dig in and do amazing things.
