• Assist with signage projects, including large-format vinyl and wayfinding installations.

• Write and edit headlines, captions, and short copy to complement design work.

• Support landing page creation and edits to align with campaigns.

• Provide light photography/videography support when needed.

• Collaborate with the Marketing team on campaign concepts and creative storytelling.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, communications, marketing or related field (preferred).

• 2+ years of professional experience in graphic design or related creative role.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating design skills (writing samples a plus).

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) and Microsoft Office on a PC platform.

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

• Familiarity with project management tools such as Asana or Monday.com a plus.

Physical & Schedule Requirements

• Ability to walk, climb stairs, bend, and reach across various Pavilion locations.

• Occasionally lift and move materials up to 30 lbs.

• May require occasional evening or weekend hours for events.

What We Offer

We provide a dynamic and engaging workplace with competitive compensation and an outstanding benefits package, including:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Company-paid Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability
• 401K Retirement Plan with a 6% Company Match
