Job Description

About the Role

We're looking for a self-driven Graphic Designer who takes initiative, works hard, and brings genuine creative passion to every project. You'll own your workload, anticipate needs, and deliver exceptional design solutions that drive business results. This role requires someone who doesn't wait for direction—you see opportunities, take ownership, and consistently produce work you're proud of.

Working with our global marketing, product, and sales teams, you'll be a creative force behind Derrick Corporation's brand across all marketing touchpoints: digital ads, social graphics, webpages, landing pages, brochures, event materials, videos, presentations, and more.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own your projects: Manage your workload and timelines from concept to completion across year-long strategies, short-term campaigns, and urgent ad hoc requests
  • Create exceptional work: Design compelling marketing materials that translate complex technical information into simple, powerful visuals while maintaining brand standards
  • Drive innovation: Actively contribute creative ideas in brainstorms, stay obsessed with design trends, and continuously learn new platforms and technologies
  • Collaborate effectively: Present concepts confidently, work cross-functionally, and communicate design rationale clearly to stakeholders
  • Be a team player : Support broader marketing efforts including event coordination, photography, and other tasks as needed—we value versatility and a willingness to jump in wherever the team needs help

What You Need

Experience & Skills

  • 3-5 years in creative/digital design (agency, client-side, or in-house)
  • Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator required)
  • Experience with video and/or animation software is a big plus (Adobe Premiere, After Effects, etc.)
  • Strong typography, layout, and design fundamentals with deep understanding of digital and print production
  • BS/BA degree preferred (Multimedia, Advertising, Marketing, or Fine Arts)

The Right Mindset

  • Self-starter: You don't wait to be told what or how to do something
  • Hard worker: You roll up your sleeves and do whatever it takes to deliver outstanding work
  • Creative thinker: You bring ideas, not just execution—constantly seeking inspiration and pushing boundaries
  • Ownership mentality: You take pride in your work and hold yourself accountable to high standards
  • Strategic: You understand how design supports business objectives and can translate that into compelling creative

The Bottom Line

You'll thrive here if you take initiative, work hard, and bring creative passion to everything you do. We need someone who actively thinks about how design solves problems and drives results. If you need constant oversight, this isn't the right fit. But if you're excited by autonomy and energized by creative challenges—let's talk!
