Phoenix, United States Casual Astronaut Full time

OVERVIEW


C/A is seeking a full-time Art Director or Graphic Designer to contribute our website and digital design projects, including websites, landing pages, email, social media and display advertising. We’re looking for the trifecta: design talent, digital skills and a strong work ethic. You’ll be expected to execute visual designs, from initial concepts to the final handoff to development.


You’ll work closely with clients under tight deadlines and be a reliable source of fresh, creative and innovative ideas. You’ll create a range of concepts and designs for each project while collaborating with the editorial, digital marketing and client service teams to ensure your work meets project goals and client expectations.


This hybrid home/office position is based in our Phoenix headquarters. However, we are open to fully remote staff in Arkansas, Florida, New York and Utah, where we currently have other staff. (Please do not apply if you are based in another state.) Working hours are standard office times; however, deadlines may stretch this further.


RESPONSIBILITIES


  • Create strategic digital designs that look great and drive users to take action
  • Design UX and UI deliverables, from low to high fidelity: journey maps, sitemaps, userflows, wireframes, mockups and clickable prototypes
  • Creatively tell stories through a mix of photography, illustration, charts, graphics and other design elements
  • Design engaging, animated digital display ads
  • Create visually compelling graphics and videos tailored for social platforms, including LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.
  • Opportunities to assist on publication and branding design projects
  • Collaborate closely with clients and the C/A team on design concepts
  • Adhere to and interpret established client branding
  • Stay up to date on digital design trends
  • Create style sheets and other design guidelines as needed
  • Manage workflow and schedules, keeping projects within budget and on schedule
  • Participate in client meetings, creative discussions, strategy discussions, and development of presentations
  • Clearly articulate design decisions that are backed up with strategic supporting evidence, insight and rationale
  • Mentor peer designers and act as a peer leader on projects


JOB REQUIREMENTS


  • A minimum of 3 years’ experience in a digital design role, preferably at a digital marketing agency
  • A passion for great design and pride in creating interesting, visually appealing work
  • Extensive experience creating digital display ads
  • Experience designing websites
  • Have a solid grasp of UX/UI best practices
  • Knowledge of digital marketing tactics, including landing pages, display advertising and social media
  • An attention to detail and the ability to gather and implement feedback from internal teams and clients
  • Ability to multitask on a diverse set of projects — different subject matter, different clients, different formats
  • Thorough knowledge of Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office applications
  • Interest and experience in other design disciplines, like branding and publication design, is a big plus
  • Self-directed, motivated, collaborative and willing to learn, adapt and grow
  • Additional technical knowledge (HTML, CSS, CMS backend) a plus
  • BFA or BA in graphic design, or equivalent


ABOUT CASUAL ASTRONAUT


What We Do


Casual Astronaut is a content marketing agency that helps brands and organizations develop deeper and more meaningful relationships with customers. We marry content strategy, content creation and content distribution to attract audiences at key moments in the customer journey — and ultimately to drive engagement and action. Our team of art directors, editors, developers and digital experts rely on years of experience to create sound strategies, websites and digital marketing campaigns that deliver results.


C/A works with brands and institutions to create the articles, videos, social media posts, publications and websites that attract audiences and prompt consumers to take action. Our clients span a range of industries — from travel/tourism to healthcare to higher education — and include The Ritz-Carlton, Penn Medicine, Niagara Falls USA, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the University of Arizona and Vanderbilt Health.


C/A is committed to quality work. The only thing we love as much as making our clients happy is creating smart, engaging marketing programs that drive results. We make it our mission to do both. As part of the team, we hope you will discover that the pursuit of excellence is a rewarding aspect of your career here.


Who We Are


At C/A, we all bring different things to the table — stellar writing skills, top-notch design chops and digital marketing know-how, as well as experience working with clients from a variety of industries. That diversity of experiences extends to our backgrounds and perspectives. We believe diversity of race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin and disability status drives creativity and innovation. It’s important to us that as we craft content and digital experiences for a variety of audiences that our own staff reflect the audiences we are trying to reach.


And hiring is just the first step. Our agency is committed to our team members, and we take time to ensure that each person we bring on is a good fit for our culture and our values. We believe our staff and our clients benefit when everyone feels included and valued, and we have implemented initiatives to that end, including providing flexible time-off so that staff can celebrate holidays and events of their choosing, installing gender-neutral bathrooms and offering paid leave for all new parents, regardless of gender or whether through biological birth or adoption.


Our benefits package includes competitive salary, flexible paid time-off, 401(k) and medical, dental and vision health coverage. We also contribute to community via C/A Charities, which targets causes and issues that disproportionately affect children and underserved populations, including hands-on projects with Arizona foster care, the International Refugee Committee (IRC) and HomeBase Youth Services through Native American Connections.
