Description
We are looking for a Design Manager to join a Financial Services organization on a Contract basis in Dallas, Texas. This role will guide the visual direction of key communications and marketing efforts while supporting a small internal design team. The ideal candidate brings strong creative judgment, hands-on execution across print and digital channels, and the ability to uphold a cohesive brand presence across a wide range of initiatives.

Responsibilities

Shape and oversee the visual approach for marketing, communications, and promotional initiatives across the organization. Direct, assign, and review work for two design team members, providing day-to-day leadership and constructive creative feedback. Produce high-quality design deliverables for digital campaigns, print materials, event assets, signage, and branded collateral. Ensure consistent application of brand standards across programs, events, internal initiatives, and external-facing materials.

Develop fresh creative concepts from initial idea through final execution rather than only adapting existing templates. Coach internal team members on effective use of design tools, templates, and brand resources, including Canva-based assets. Partner with communications leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to translate goals into compelling visual solutions. Participate in meetings, events, and occasional travel as needed to support organizational projects and creative initiatives.

Requirements
Strong portfolio showcasing original graphic design work across both digital and print formats. Prior experience leading designers or managing creative workflows in a highly organized setting. Advanced proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud, including Illustrator and Photoshop. Solid understanding of brand stewardship and the ability to maintain consistency across multiple campaigns and audiences. Experience creating brochures, marketing materials, and other visual communication assets.

Strong communication and collaboration skills when working with leadership, internal teams, and partner groups.
