Graphic Designer

VisionPoint Marketing is seeking a talented Graphic Designer to join our team. The Graphic Designer is a creative and strategic thinker, able to translate business strategies and creative concepts into useful and delightful experiences across various types of media. At VisionPoint, Graphic Designers work alongside other designers, our Creative Director, teams of strategists, content developers and others in an environment that thrives on collaboration, yet expects accountability and ownership. Attention to detail and ability to uphold and deliver work at the highest quality standards is essential. 

The Position

The ideal candidate will have an uncanny ability to balance both right-brain (highly creative and conceptual) and left-brain (strategic and detail-oriented with a knack for understanding what drives client success) mentalities. Ultimately, our goal is to do outstanding work for clients who deserve nothing but our best … to get better and better as a team of creatives, and for each teammate to improve their own skills on a daily basis. While we’re headquartered in Raleigh, NC, VisionPoint operates on a remote policy with full-time VisionPointers across the country. Additionally, local Raleigh employees have the flexibility to choose from in-person, hybrid, and remote work options.

What You Will Do

• Bring strong visual design skills (including a great appreciation of typography, design thinking and storytelling) to ad campaigns, branding projects, and all sort of digital and traditional media output
• Partner with Copywriters to create cohesive campaigns that marry thematic with the visual.
• Effectively balance multiple projects
• Work independently on design projects as well as collaborate with others in the creative department, including our Creative Director
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure a harmonious relationship between strategy, content, design and execution
• Present work to internal teams—and sometimes directly to the client—for feedback/approval
• Participate in and contribute to creative brainstorming sessions
• Diligently complete the administrative aspects of the job, including but not limited to: accurately logging hours, being prompt and prepared for meetings, etc.
• Be a self-starter, be more than willing help others and contribute to things that may fall outside of your official job description
• Stay up-to-date with design trends, new software/tools, and industry developments

• An outstanding body of work demonstrated in an online portfolio
• B.S./B.A./B.F.A. in Graphic Design, Communication Design, Information Design or related field, or equivalent experience.

• Experience with advertising, brand, traditional and interactive design, collateral, ads, etc. 
• Strong conceptual ability and originality
• An appreciation for, and love of typography, layout, branding systems, and all things design-related
