Galpin Motors, a leader in the automotive industry, is looking for a talented and experienced Graphic Designer to join our dynamic advertising team.


At Galpin Motors, our culture is built on history, family, and a genuine love for what we do. We started back in 1946 with a tiny showroom that could only hold three vehicles. Today, we are proud to be the #1 volume Ford dealer in the world!  While we are incredibly proud of that milestone, we are even prouder of the vibrant, supportive team that made it possible. We believe in working hard, celebrating our successes together, and keeping things genuinely fun every single day.

Opportunities to shift your career into high gear with our in-house Marketing and Advertising team don't come around often because our team members genuinely love growing their careers here. We’re expanding right now for the best possible reason: our business is firing on all cylinders, and looking for the next superfly designer.  If you are ready for a fast-paced, collaborative environment where creativity, history, and a passion for what we do collide, this is your moment. We don’t just sell cars; we create joy, excitement, and rewarding, lifelong careers.


The Role: Fuel Our Visual Brand

As our new Digital Graphic & Creative Designer, you will be the creative engine driving the visual identity across iconic dealership brands from Ford, Honda, and Mazda to luxury names such as Porsche, Land Rover, Volvo, Aston Martin, and Lotus. You’ll collaborate closely with our Director of Advertising and Retail Marketing Manager to bring colorful campaigns to life.


The majority of your day-to-day will focus on high-impact digital creative assets, driving engaging email marketing campaigns, and designing eye-catching in-store print POP materials. 


You will also put on your digital architect hat to provide light support for our website's UX/UI visual design, ensuring our online guest experience looks as stunning as our actual showrooms.


Key Responsibilities:
  • Email Campaign Innovation: Utilize Adobe Creative Suite, Figma and Designmodo to design high-performing, responsive emails that captivate our audience, adhere to best practices, and drive conversions.
  • Web & Front-End Development: Develop front-end web assets using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and basic WordPress development. Collaborate with developers to ensure seamless integration of design and back-end functionality. Optimize websites for SEO, performance, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness. Shopify experience is a plus!

  • Digital & Print Mastery: Design visually compelling, user-friendly assets for email marketing, social media, and digital advertising, as well as premium print POP materials for sales, events, and showroom merchandising.
  • Brand Stewardship: Maintain a cohesive, premium visual identity across multiple distinct dealership brands.

What You Bring to the Fast Lane:
  • Experience: 3–5 years of professional graphic design experience (or a Bachelor’s degree in Art/Graphic Design).
  • The Toolbox: Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma, Designmodo, and familiarity with WordPress and macOS.
  • Web Savvy: A solid grasp of digital asset optimization, responsive design, and basic front-end layout principles, ensuring your designs look great on any screen.
  • The Vibe: An entrepreneurial spirit, a collaborative mindset (experience with Monday.com or Constant Contact is a plus!), and a passion for hitting deadlines in a dynamic retail environment.
