Creative Lead (Part-Time)

We’re a fast-paced marketing agency (Alaska time zone - 1 hour behind PST) hiring a highly skilled Graphic Designer to support multiple brands across different industries. This role is for someone who is extremely proficient in Canva and Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator and InDesign), understands modern brand aesthetics, and is excited about the future of AI-powered design workflows.

You must be able to take a simple prompt, rough brief, reference image, or concept and independently turn it into polished, professional, print-ready creative assets with minimal supervision.

This is not an entry-level design role. We are looking for someone with strong taste, strong execution, and strong self-direction.

The ideal candidate understands how to maintain completely different brand styles between clients while keeping all visual elements consistent - including fonts, colors, tone, layouts, logo usage, and overall aesthetic direction.

You should also be highly adaptable and comfortable working in a flexible, project-based environment where work requests can come quickly and turnaround expectations are often fast.

Strong communication skills are extremely important for this role. You must be comfortable communicating regularly in Slack, responding in a timely manner, asking clarifying questions when needed, and keeping projects moving forward clearly and professionally.

You must also be highly detail-oriented and able to carefully follow project briefs, instructions, brand standards, and creative direction accurately. Attention to detail matters heavily in this role.

Proficiency with modern AI tools is required - or you must be highly motivated to learn quickly. We are actively integrating tools like ChatGPT, Canva AI tools, Higgsfield, MidJourney, and other emerging creative AI platforms into our workflows.
This position is for someone who is driven, creative, resourceful, fast-moving, and able to take a project and run with it independently while still following detailed brand standards and instructions accurately.

This is a hands-on execution role focused heavily on design production and creative problem solving.
