Summary

Editorial & Graphic Designer — Books, Reports, Proposals & Client Materials We are seeking a highly responsive, detail-oriented Editorial & Graphic Designer to provide ongoing design support for our fast-paced consulting, publishing, and media company.

Design Standard Our materials should feel clean, elevated, editorial, sophisticated, and executive-level. Depending on the project, we may need a Fortune 500 corporate aesthetic, a premium editorial look, or a polished publishing design. You must be able to adapt to different client brands and audiences. Experience with Adobe InDesign is strongly preferred, along with proficiency in tools such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, Canva Pro, PowerPoint, or comparable professional design platforms. Portfolio Required Please provide examples of multi-page work, particularly: * Books/book interiors * Reports * Proposals * Workbooks * Editorial layouts * Corporate presentations or PDFs Please do not apply with only social media graphics. We specifically need someone with strong editorial and document design experience. When Applying Please answer the following: 1. How many hours per week are you generally available? 2. Are you available during U.S. Eastern Time business hours? 3. Can you accommodate occasional same-day or next-day assignments? 4. What is your typical turnaround time for a 5–10 page professionally designed PDF? 5. What design software do you use? 6.

If you are highly responsive, flexible, fast, meticulous, and consistently produce polished work, we would love to hear from you.
