Ship Creek Group (SCG) specializes in projects with clear end goals that require multiple competencies, including local campaigns, ballot initiatives, and marketing for nonprofits. We are a one-stop-shop, our work ranges from coordinating a candidate’s schedule, to rebranding local nonprofits and small businesses, to shooting and producing professional TV commercials. Our team is built around the idea that a small group of folks with shared values and different skills can get stuff done more effectively by working together. We adhere to the simple premise that our work should push forward leaders, organizations, and ideas that raise the bar in our community.

SCG is seeking a Graphic Designer to produce print, mail, and digital content for political and candidate campaigns, and non-political projects. Production includes each step of the process from conception through distribution. The work will primarily consist of producing assets such as campaign logos, signs, literature, mailers, advertisements, infographics, digital graphics, event invitations and simple video editing. The graphic designer will work under the Senior Creative Director, and also work closely with project and campaign managers at the start of each week to develop concepts, produce and edit drafts, and finalize for publication by the end of the week. They will work smart, not hard - managing their time efficiently to allow high volume production.
