Overview
Scottish Rite for Children is looking for a Graphic Designer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment and understands that great design is equal parts creativity and execution. This role is not for beginners, but for those who have been in the field, worked under pressure and know how to take a project from concept to press without missing a beat. If you’re the kind of designer who catches a RGB vs CMYK color space issue before anyone else does and fixes it before it becomes a problem, we want to talk to you. Photography experience is highly desirable.

- Monitor timelines, budgets and deliverables and be sure to escalate issues early and effectively
Event & Campaign Support
- Design and produce event materials including posters, displays and environmental graphics
- Execute large-format projects from concept through installation-ready production, coordinating specifications for size, materials and placement
- Ensure all banner and poster files are optimized for large-format output, including proper scaling, resolution (DPI), bleed and color accuracy across various materials and display environments
Digital & Presentation Design
- Provide digital design support including:
