NGP VAN seeks a talented, full-time web and visual designer to join our Digital Services team, which provides award-winning custom designed websites for Democratic political campaigns, parties, and progressive nonprofits. You care about every pixel, get a little geeky about typography, understand seamless user experiences, and create outstanding, professional web and logo designs. You'll be working with our team of front-end developers in a fast-paced environment not unlike a start-up or political campaign.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in a visual design role with an emphasis on web design
- Exceptional visual design craft: concept development, composition, color theory, and typography
- Highly skilled in using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
- Excellent spoken, written, and visual communication skills
- Comfortable researching and developing creative direction for clients
- Passionate and knowledgeable about website usability, web standards and responsive design.
- Experience creating wireframes, comps, and logos
- A self-starter, organized, detail oriented, and able to prioritize
- Positive attitude, sense of humor and eagerness to learn
Responsibilities
- Create visual design solutions for political campaigns and nonprofits including websites and the occasional logo
- Collaborate with clients and developers to create great user experiences
- Ability to take creative direction and work efficiently and independently
- Collect, manage, and edit digital assets, including photographs, vector images, patterns, and icons
- Juggle multiple projects and meet time-sensitive and aggressive deadlines
- Evaluate design problems and present designs to clients on the phone, in person, and via email
Candidates that Stand Out
- Experience in designing for political campaigns, nonprofits or associations
- UI/UX experience
- A master of mobile and responsive design
- This position does not require coding but a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and JQuery is a plus.
- Drupal or other CMS experience
- Degree in graphic, visual, or web design or formal design training
- Outstanding, professional design portfolio
