    Are you passionate about transforming physical spaces into unforgettable brand experiences? Are you ready to grow personally & professionally?

    Join our rapidly expanding creative Sign, XD & Environmental Graphics company. We don't just make signs; we blend artistry with precision to deliver truly exceptional "wow!" experiences that elevate business brands within their physical spaces. We are seeking a motivated design leader ready to shape our creative direction by crafting high-impact signs and experiential graphics for a wide array of clients.

    This is a full-time, in-person leadership role based in the Columbus MSA. A portfolio link is required to be considered, and we’re specifically seeking work that showcases environmental graphics, wayfinding, or branded signage—not packaging or print-heavy collateral.

    Lead Creatively: Manage design projects from concept to completion, guiding both internal and external designers.

    Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with fabricators, installers, and project managers to ensure your designs are executed flawlessly.

    Leverage AI Tools: Use artificial intelligence to streamline workflows and develop conceptual designs.

    Ensure Excellence: Maintain brand consistency and uphold high standards through rigorous quality control.

    Juggle Projects: Manage multiple complex environmental graphic projects with precision and efficiency.

    Prepare for Production: Deliver accurate, production-ready files for fabrication, engineering, and permitting.

    Perks & Benefits

    Creative Culture: Be part of a supportive team where your ideas matter and your work makes a visible impact.

    Career Growth: Join a growing company with real opportunities for advancement.

    Competitive Pay: Enjoy a strong salary and bonus potential.

    Health Coverage: Comprehensive health insurance package.

    Invest In Your Future: 401K/Profit Sharing options (pending).

    Time Off: Paid vacation and holidays.

    Ongoing Development: Mentorship and training to help you grow professionally.

    Growth Mindset: Passion for continuous learning and professional development.

    Portfolio That Wows: Proven experience in graphic design with a strong aesthetic sensibility and a portfolio focused on environmental branding.

    Technical Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and other relevant design software.

    Proactive Spirit: Self-starter mentality with the ability to identify creative opportunities and take initiative.

    Industry Experience: Prior experience designing for signage and familiarity with fabrication machinery is a strong plus.

    Strong Communicator: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to convey design concepts clearly.

    Problem Solver: Detail-oriented and solution-focused, with the ability to make sound decisions under pressure.

    Educational Background: Degree in Graphic Design, Art, or related field—or equivalent professional experience.

    People Skills: Strong customer service and interpersonal skills to work effectively with diverse teams and clients.
