Senior Graphic Designer

Lancaster Design & Consulting is a collaborative design studio rooted in Lancaster County and built on long-term client partnerships. We help businesses grow through thoughtful design, clear communication, and dependable execution that turns complex information into usable solutions.

We’re seeking a Senior Designer who thrives in a high-trust, high-accountability environment and can independently carry projects from concept through production. You’ll join a team that meets clients where they are, helps them clarify information and goals, and supports them with design that’s both accurate and meaningful.

What You’ll Do:

• Translate client goals and messy inputs into clear, structured, production-ready designs
• Deliver accurate, client-ready drafts with strong typography, hierarchy, and clarity
• Manage complex, data-driven InDesign layouts (catalogs, booklets, books) and use styles, tables, GREP, and automation with confidence
• Balance creative design with production discipline (file setup, proofing, preflight)
• Keep project files organized, navigable, and team-ready
• Communicate context with every deliverable—what was done and why
• Collaborate smoothly with team and clients to keep projects moving forward

What We’re Looking For:

• Senior-level judgment & independence
• Strong critical thinking & attention to detail
• Clear, proactive communication with both clients and teammates
• Commitment to accuracy, follow-through, and quality execution
• Comfort handling both big-picture design and fine-grained production tasks

Required Skills:

• Advanced Adobe InDesign, especially with complex and data-heavy files
• Strong Illustrator & Photoshop skills
• Experience with data merges, stylesheets, GREP styles, and automation
• Ability to work confidently with spreadsheets (Google Sheets/Excel) for data cleanup and organization
• Excellent proofing & accuracy standards

A Great Fit If You…

• Enjoy working on structured, detail-rich projects
• Take pride in organizing information & reducing confusion
• Are self-directed, reliable, and process-minded
• Like collaborating to help clients feel understood and supported

Nice to Have

• Photography / Adobe Lightroom experience
• Email marketing experience (i.e. Mailchimp)

What Success Looks Like

• Client-ready work with minimal revision cycles
• Projects that keep moving forward without hand-holding
• Clear documentation & organized files
• Trust built through dependable, thoughtful execution
