Graphic Designer & Marketing Coordinator

Company: Hoehn Motors

Location: Carlsbad, CA (in-person)

Reports to: Marketing Manager

Hoehn Motors is a family-owned, multi-brand dealership group representing 7 brands in Carlsbad (Audi, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Sprinter) and a second Audi dealership in Temecula. We are hiring a Graphic Designer & Marketing Coordinator to help drive creative production across all our stores, supporting magazine ads, signage, digital creative, email graphics, and landing pages, alongside copywriting, web execution, and event support.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can switch between disciplined execution within strict OEM brand systems for store-level work and contributing creative ideas to Hoehn-owned campaigns, events, and group-level brand initiatives (Hoehn Cares, Cars & Coffee, signature events, magazine activations, the 'Your Local Dealership Group' brand campaign). Great opportunity for someone looking to grow within an established multi-brand marketing operation.
