Position Overview

This position will work within ENGINE’s central marketing team to develop and execute world-class digital and creative marketing campaigns for Cassandra while supporting ENGINE and its clients (both internal and external). This role requires a proactive, organized, broadly capable, creative human who can execute within brand guidelines while also bringing new ideas to the table.

Job Duties & Responsibilities

• Design beautiful, engaging imagery and layouts that stay on-brand—but don’t be afraid to push the boundaries
• Collaborate with the marketing and Cassandra teams to shape ideas and concepts
• Understand data and know how to visualize it accurately and, preferably, beautifully
• Have ideas and share them—you’re spotting trends, sharing articles, and being inspired by what’s new
• Be curious—there’s always more to learn
• Be adaptable—every week is different and, while there are consistent elements in the job, you’ll probably end up doing things you’ve never done before
• Be a Chameleon—design reports and collateral for Cassandra’s clients, adhering to their brand standards when required (actual Chameleons need not apply)
• Be comfortable working across platforms—we’re talking print and digital, email, social media, slides, video, the Cassandra Daily, and more
• Be organized—PDFs, PNGs, and JPGs are great, but we’re gonna need to have those native files, too
• Be humble—“kill your darlings” isn’t just good advice for writers, it’s good advice for all of us

What we’re looking for in skills and personality

• 5+ years of relevant design experience with strong portfolio
• Fast, efficient, confident designer with a positive attitude (especially when things get hectic)
• Able to defend design decisions, but also able to accept and implement direct feedback
• Creative, vocal, and open-minded when brainstorming
• Curious and passionate about popular culture and trends
• Willing to pitch in and collaborate outside of your lane. “That’s not my job” isn’t a phrase we often use.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop)
• Proficiency in slides-based design using software like Google Slides, Keynote, and PowerPoint (even though we both know PPT sucks)
• Proficiency in Mac operating system
• Photography and photo editing skills a plus
• Video editing and light motion graphics experience a big plus
• Excited to be part of a team and eager to grow
