What We Need

We’re looking for a talented, remote graphic designer who can create a wide range of primarily digital high-quality graphics based on client and internal requests. Candidates should be able to keep us up to date on the latest and greatest tools, ideas, and trends in graphic arts. We’ll want to see some examples of your work and know the tools you used to create them. We will also test your design skills and check references.  

Expectations

• Deadline-driven. Our business is fast-paced with many quick-turnaround projects running at once. We expect our team members to meet our productivity guidelines and always deliver on time.
• Flexible and dynamic. We work on a variety of projects with clients in myriad industries. You’ll need to be able to get up to speed quickly on a variety of company branding and style guides. We want a designer who enjoys the challenge of taking half-baked ideas and turning them into effective graphics and design.
• Proactive and communicative. Our work naturally ebbs and flows, so we offer flexible schedules and work arrangements. This is a virtual position, so you won’t have someone looking over your shoulder and micromanaging your work. Every project has a project leader and a quality check, so you won’t be left on your own, but we do expect a high level of self-management. We plan for and expect collaboration and communication on every project.
• Committed to quality. McMul is proud of the work we do, and we want you to take pride in it too. We’re looking for designers who are up to date on industry trends and curious enough to question and confirm standards. We need someone who is not afraid to collaborate with team members for the best final product.
