What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Graphic Designer position at Creative Circle Media Solutions?
The assistant designer will help design a range of weekly and monthly publications we produce for our clients. These are typically high-end magazine projects or distressed or startup publications that need temporary help stabilizing their print production process. We also redesign print and web media outlets and design a full range of software for media companies, so you'll have an opportunity to work on a wide range of design projects.
This is an opportunity to work with one of the leading design firms in the newspaper industry and work with people who coach other journalists on how to improve their work. We've led thousands of training sessions in 23 countries and have redesigned more than 850 print publications and 1,500 websites. You will learn a lot quickly here and you will also potentially have an impact on the hundreds of family-owned and locally owned media outlets we support.
We’re creating cutting-edge solutions for our clients for both print and digital publishing. Everyone on our team is deeply involved in our success and you will be, too. You will have opportunities to work independently, help shape our product development, work directly with customers and lead projects appropriate to your level of knowledge and interests.
For this role, we are looking for someone with one to five years of print design experience with newspapers or magazines. Accuracy, excellent communication abilities and knowledge of multiple design software platforms (InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator) are required. Problem solving, great customer support and strong initiative are all part of our DNA. Knowledge of HTML, Word and Excel is preferred. Interest or experience in web software or running websites, SEO, reporting, copy editing, photojournalism, social media or newsletters is a plus.
We offer above-average salary plus excellent benefits and health care and a flexible schedule.
Please send a note telling us why you are the right person for this opportunity and include a resume and some design samples to Bill Ostendorf, jobs@creativecirclemedia.com.
This is a full-time position in our East Providence, Rhode Island, office. No remote applications will be considered.
We look forward to meeting you!
