Office Manager / Graphic Designer – Custom Sign Company (Lansing, MI)

Michigan Imagery is a fast-growing custom sign company specializing in exterior and interior signage — from monument signs and wall signs. We’re looking for a detail-oriented, creative, and organized team member who can take ownership of projects from start to finish — both in the office and in communication with our clients.

Position Overview

We’re seeking an Office Manager / Graphic Designer who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. This dual role combines project coordination, client communication, and design work.

• Communicate with clients via phone and email about design, timelines, and approvals
• Coordinate with installers, fabricators, and vendors to ensure jobs stay on schedule
• Order materials and follow up on vendor timelines
• Create sign proofs, layouts, and simple production files in Adobe Illustrator (Mac environment)
• Maintain organized digital and physical files for all projects
• Help identify and improve internal systems and processes
• Occasionally greet clients or handle walk-ins at the front office

What We’re Looking For

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills — clear, professional, and personable
• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator (required)
• Experience on Mac computers
• A self-starter who can learn independently using how-to videos, documentation, and notes
• Ability to manage multiple projects and follow through with deadlines
• Customer-focused mindset and professional phone/email presence
• Comfortable in a small-business setting where everyone wears multiple hats — we can’t hold your hand, but we’ll give you the tools to succeed
