What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Graphic Designer position at PATHOS?
PATHOS is a full-stack marketing agency based in downtown West Palm Beach, specializing in brand development and growth across physical and digital spaces. We deliver end-to-end media solutions through a comprehensive suite of advisory, creative, web, video, and media services, helping clients from local startups to national organizations amplify their brand with industry-leading talent and technology.
At PATHOS, we believe great design tells a story. Our Senior Designer is a sharp visual thinker and hands-on maker who brings brand strategy to life across every platform. This role owns the craft—balancing conceptual thinking with production-ready execution—while partnering closely with the Head of Brand Creative to keep our work sharp, on-brand, and ahead of the curve.
We're seeking a designer who is equally comfortable in Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and Figma, isn't afraid to put pen to paper on copy and concepts, and brings strategic thinking to every brief. As a senior voice in the creative department, you'll shape the look, feel, and message of the brands we serve.
We are open to candidates seeking full-time, part-time and freelance scenarios.
