Job Description

We’re partnering with a growing, creative organization in Central Florida to hire a
Graphic Design & Marketing Manager who can combine exceptional hands-on design skills with ownership of day-to-day marketing execution.

We’re looking for a hands-on designer and marketer who wants to own projects from concept through execution.

You’ll develop creative concepts for a variety of clients, prepare artwork for production, manage digital and social content, and take the lead on executing marketing campaigns and initiatives. You’ll work closely with leadership while having the autonomy to take an idea, fill in the details, and make it happen. The ideal candidate is a strong graphic designer first
, with solid marketing experience and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.

Experience in an agency, print, promotional products, apparel, or other production-focused creative environment would be especially valuable.

Maintain brand consistency across print and digital touchpoints

Support the creation of blogs, newsletters, email campaigns, promotional materials, and other content

Partner closely with leadership to shape ideas into actionable marketing initiatives and take ownership of execution
Build and manage the annual marketing calendar

Research market trends, competitors, and new opportunities
Partner with sales on lead-generation initiatives, messaging, and marketing materials

What Success Looks Like
You’re someone who can be handed an idea and run with it
.

You keep projects moving, meet deadlines, and don't let details fall through the cracks. Your creative work is polished, accurate, and aligned with the brand. Marketing initiatives actually get executed, not just discussed. Social media stays active and consistent. Campaigns are measured, and you use the results to improve what comes next. Most importantly, you’re comfortable wearing multiple hats. You can move from designing client artwork to planning a campaign, creating social content, collaborating with sales, or testing a new AI tool without missing a beat. You’ll Love This Role If You...

Want real ownership rather than simply working from a task list
Enjoy combining creativity with marketing strategy
Thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
Are a self-starter who doesn't need constant direction
Like experimenting with new tools and finding better ways to work
Take pride in creating work that is both visually impressive and technically accurate
Enjoy being challenged and working alongside a high-performing team
Salary:
$65,000–$75,000 per year, based on experience
Schedule:
Full-time
