How we LEAD:

We're looking for a Graphic Designer with a keen eye for design, an obsession with detail, and a love for storytelling through visual art. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a creatively rich environment where your design skills directly contribute to the branding and legacy of some of country music's most iconic and emerging voices.

At MCA, you're not just designing assets - you're helping define the visual legacy of some of the most influential artists in country music. You'll join a team that values creativity, collaboration, and a sense of humor, all while working in an environment that celebrates both tradition and innovation.

How you'll CREATE:

• Design album packaging, promotional materials, and digital assets with a strong command of layout, typography, and print production
• Execute projects from concept to final deliverables with a deep understanding of prepress and packaging workflows (especially in InDesign)
• Collaborate closely with creative directors, project managers, and marketing teams to bring artist visions to life
• Adapt quickly to feedback and direction, producing multiple variations or refinements as needed
• Retouch photographs for cover art, packaging, etc
• Maintain file organization, accuracy, and consistency across various deliverables
• Juggle multiple deadlines with speed, efficiency, and grace under pressure
• Elevate the visual output of the label with fresh thinking, strategic design choices, and brand-savvy execution

Bring your VIBE:

• 4-7 years of professional design experience, ideally within music, entertainment, or agency environments
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite - especially InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop
• Deep knowledge of packaging templates and technical print processes
• Strong ability to retouch photos with a natural aesthetic
• A portfolio that demonstrates excellent layout, type, and concepting skills across both print and digital formats
• A no-ego, team-first mentality - you thrive in a collaborative setting and take direction like a pro
• Exceptional time management skills with the ability to pivot when priorities shift
• A sharp creative eye coupled with pixel-perfect attention to detail
• Agency or in-house experience working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment is a major plus
• Familiarity with country music, its aesthetic codes, and its evolving visual language is a bonus (but not required)

Perks Playlist:

• Be part of an entrepreneurial, global organization that values authenticity, drive, creativity, relationships, and a competitive spirit
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and FSA options, as well as:
  
  • 100% coverage for out-patient mental health services
