Colorado Public Radio (CPR) is seeking a Senior Graphic Designer.

About the Position:

The Senior Graphic Designer conceptualizes, designs and executes creative concepts to consistently and clearly communicate CPR’s brand identity.

As a strategic, conceptual thinker, you will have a wide range of design capabilities and experience with a solid background in visual communications, commercial art, print, digital, photography, branding and typography.

About You:

You are a creative, innovative, experienced graphic designer with the ability to prioritize user experience and accessibility in design. You develop strong professional relationships, utilizing diplomacy, persuasion and active listening skills to conceptualize strong creative concepts in tandem with others. You communicate clearly and effectively with people across multiple departments. You’ve demonstrated experience in navigating competing project deadlines well.

Minimum Qualifications:

• A minimum of 3 years of experience in graphic design.
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite and design applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Xd, Figma, and evolving knowledge of additional design tools (prototyping, motion graphics, 3D modeling).
• Ability to plan strategically, problem solve and think critically.
• Experience with navigating time and priorities efficiently and wisely.
• Proven ability to utilize diplomacy, active listening skills and a customer-service orientated mindset in managing professional relationships.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• While not required, user interface design, UX design, and a familiarity with accessibility practices in design are all preferred qualifications.

Education Equivalency

• A fully relatable bachelor’s or master’s degree may replace some of the required years of experience needed to qualify for the position, but is not required for the role.
