Graphic Design/Branding Design PARTNER Position (Midtown)

Cutting-edge designer/graphics artist sought for design and production of final PRINT graphics and branding (logos.)

You will be working with a very cool (but small) ad agency. Dilbert-like management techniques aren’t part of our world (we are about as real as it gets), so if you are looking for a traditional corporate environment then this isn’t a good match. If, however, you are looking to be part of a very hip little agency, then let’s talk!

Here’s what we need you to do:

* Exceptional proficiency with Illustrator & Photoshop

* Some understanding of the constraints involved in producing graphics for prepress

* Experience creating client-appropriate, clean, cutting edge designs for client projects

* Strong ability to manage, archive, organize work according to tight timetables and turnaround requirements

* Motivated self-starter with relentless follow-through to completion of each project

* Able to impart knowledge/train others

* Strong inter-personal and communication skills

* Insatiable curiosity and passion for graphic design industry and the evolution of branding

In short- you will prove that you will be able to understand the entire creative process from the conceptual stage through initial design and final creation.

Here’s a slice of what we are looking for:

* A business partner that wants a piece of the action- not just another job with the ‘man’.

* Availability to interview and start work on short notice

* Ability and willingness to work long, flexible hours as needed to get the job done

* Cool attitude- not one to follow mass thinking. Comfortable outside of the box.

* Comfort in a fast-paced, very informal, high-energy start-up environment, managing jobs from start to finish

* Solid design portfolio

The low-down on your daily duties and expectations:

* You can design an elegant brand or print piece from start to finish; concept to implementation. In this role, you must also be able to analyze existing client work, and improve upon them by creating exciting new creative elements.

* Your ability to multi-task is crucial, as you will be handling several projects at the same time. If you like the challenge of producing clean innovative designs and seeing them through to the production environment – this position is for you!

* You have to be a self-motivated designer with a strong record of success who has the ability to think creatively, brainstorm regularly, meet deadlines and work alone and within a team.
