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.

Print Production & Vendor Management

• Provide digital design support including:
  • Photo retouching and enhancement
  • File conversion and optimization
  • Basic animation and web-ready assets
    
• Create polished, on-brand PowerPoint and presentation materials
