Senior Graphic Designer - PH

About the Role:

As D&Y's Graphic Designer & Creative Lead, you will serve as the primary creative and design resource for our firm and its clients. You will lead the visual execution of a wide range of marketing, communications, outreach, and business development initiatives, bringing ideas to life through thoughtful, compelling, and polished design.

This is an opportunity for a creative professional who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work, and thrives in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment. One day you might be designing a social media campaign or community outreach materials; the next, developing a sophisticated proposal, presentation, or tradeshow display.

You'll work directly with other members of D&Y's team, collaborating on client projects from concept through final production. While you'll be our go-to design expert, you'll also be a hands-on creator who is comfortable managing multiple projects, balancing competing deadlines, and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.

We're looking for someone who brings not only exceptional design skills but also creative judgment, initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to translate complex information into engaging, accessible visual communications.

Key Responsibilities:

Graphic Design & Creative Execution

• Lead the design and production of high-quality creative materials for D&Y and its clients across digital and print platforms.

• Design a broad range of marketing and communications materials, including brochures, flyers, fact sheets, newsletters, advertisements, reports, infographics, and other branded collateral.

• Develop compelling social media graphics, campaign assets, digital advertisements, and other content optimized for various platforms.

• Create polished presentations, pitch decks, and other visual storytelling materials using Microsoft PowerPoint, Canva, and other design tools.

• Transform complex, technical, or information-heavy content into visually engaging, easy-to-understand graphics and layouts.

• Maintain visual consistency, brand integrity, and high design standards across all deliverables.

• Prepare professional, production-ready files for both digital distribution and commercial printing.

Community Outreach & Public Engagement

• Design accessible, engaging communications materials supporting community engagement, public information campaigns, and resident outreach initiatives.

• Develop materials such as door hangers, postcards, mailers, event signage, informational flyers, FAQs, and community meeting presentations.

• Create clear visual explanations of technical processes, infrastructure projects, public programs, and community benefits.

• Collaborate with the D&Y team to ensure materials are tailored to the needs of diverse audiences and communicate information effectively.

• Adapt creative assets for use across multiple communication channels, formats, and audiences.

Business Development, Sales & Proposal Support

• Design and format visually compelling proposals, qualifications packages, statements of qualifications (SOQs), capability statements, and other business development materials.

• Develop professional proposal layouts, graphics, charts, infographics, organizational diagrams, and other visual elements that strengthen client submissions.

• Collaborate with proposal and business development teams to present complex information clearly and persuasively.

• Create sales collateral, product sheets, case studies, and marketing presentations that support clients' business growth objectives.

• Support D&Y's own business development efforts through the creation of proposals, presentations, marketing materials, and other branded assets.

Events, Conferences & Tradeshows

• Design creative assets for conferences, tradeshows, community events, and other in-person engagements.

• Develop booth graphics, banners, displays, signage, promotional materials, and event presentations.

• Ensure designs meet production specifications and are delivered in the appropriate formats for vendors and printers.

• Create cohesive visual experiences across event materials and associated digital campaigns.

Creative Direction & Brand Consistency

• Serve as D&Y's primary creative resource, helping guide the visual direction and execution of client and internal projects.

• Bring fresh ideas and creative solutions to marketing campaigns, communications strategies, and client deliverables.

• Maintain and apply existing client brand standards, ensuring consistency across all materials and communication channels.

• Help evolve and refine D&Y's own visual presence, marketing collateral, and brand assets.

• Contribute to brand identity development, visual guidelines, and creative concepts for clients as opportunities arise.

• Stay informed of design trends, emerging creative tools, and best practices to continuously improve the quality and effectiveness of our work.

Project Management & Team Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with D&Y team members to understand client goals, project requirements, and creative priorities.

• Independently manage design projects from initial concept and development through revisions, final approval, and production.

• Balance multiple client assignments and deadlines while maintaining exceptional quality and attention to detail.

• Proactively communicate project timelines, progress, and needs to ensure timely delivery.

• Organize and maintain design files, templates, brand assets, and creative resources for efficient team collaboration.

• Incorporate feedback thoughtfully and efficiently while bringing creative recommendations and solutions to the table.

• Support a collaborative, solutions-oriented team culture and contribute wherever creative expertise can add value.
