    Job Description

    Banyan is currently seeking talented graphic and digital designers for multiple positions within a diverse and growing team. As a DIGITAL DESIGNER at Banyan, you’ll translate strategic direction, research insights, and complex information into concepts and execution across broad range of media and visual styles. This role requires a confident, collaborative design-thinker with a passion for social change – someone who can see the big picture, propose unique solutions to complex challenges, and jump in with both feet to execute consistently and creatively.

    THE ROLE OF DESIGNER AT BANYAN INVOLVES:

    • Translating strategic briefs, audience/user research, and other insights into branding, concepts, collateral, and web/social experiences that accomplish communications objectives.
    • Drawing upon a strong understanding of design principles to create effective communications, with a focus on layout, information design, user experience, accessibility, and inclusivity.
    • Participating in creative meetings and design workshops with clients and project teams, including ideation, sketching, and rapid-prototyping.
    • Concepting, planning, iterating, and delivering design assets for print and digital campaigns; web and interactive experiences; and infographics, posters, presentations, and other collateral.
    • Contributing to a culture of collaboration, efficiency, and excellence;
    • Executing assigned projects and associated tasks to ensure all deadlines are met or proactively addressed.
    • Performing responsibilities enthusiastically, with high initiative and follow-through within the scope, schedule, and budget parameters of each project.

    THIS ROLE REQUIRES A TRACK RECORD OF DEMONSTRABLE WORK EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONAL INGENUITY, SHOWING THAT YOU ARE:

    • A digital native, with a strong understanding of the trends, formats, and ideas shaping the web, social, and beyond.
    • A strong conceptual thinker and executer – your portfolio demonstrates your ability to start projects off from an incredibly strong position and come up with surprising, resonant concepts;
    • Able to execute polished creative work with a focus on the details of graphic design, typography, and layout.
    • A demonstrated leader and mentor, able to spark great ideas in your peers and guide the work of other designers across complex projects.
    • Able to work as part of a collaborative team: you know the difference between cultivating your own expertise and carrying an ego – you propose ideas with enthusiasm, take notes with humility, seek out the signal in the noise, and are equally comfortable working with designers and non-designers.
    • Committed to your own professional development: You’re more than familiar with the tools of the trade (Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, etc); you seek out influences and influencers; and you’ve dabbled in things outside of your comfort zone – animation, data visualization, illustration, physical media or whatever ignites your passion.
    • An exceptional communicator with critical organization and time management skills and the flexibility to adapt quickly to change.
