Lead Graphic Designer

Market Connect is a boutique, fully remote marketing agency serving enterprise CPG food industry clients. Our work spans creative development, sourcing and procurement, and experiential marketing.

The work is varied: brand-aligned assets for national food brands, sales and marketing collateral, event and trade show graphics, digital and print materials. You'll work within established brand systems from nationally popular CPG clients.

This role starts part-time (roughly 20 hours per week) with the opportunity to grow into full-time.

The role requires someone who works fast, works independently, and delivers polished work with minimal direction.

Responsibilities

• Take briefs and produce client-ready creative with limited back-and-forth
• Design across a range of formats: digital, sales collateral, event graphics, print, packaging visuals
• Work within established client brand guidelines while bringing genuine creative thinking
• Make independent creative decisions and present work with a clear point of view
• Manage your own timelines across multiple concurrent projects
• Prepare production-ready files and coordinate with print and fabrication vendors on specs
• Maintain and organize brand asset libraries and working files

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of professional design experience, ideally including work for consumer brands
• A portfolio that shows range and polish, not just one style
• Proven ability to work solo — experience as the only designer, or as a freelancer running your own client work, is ideal
• Fast, efficient, and comfortable with tight turnarounds
• Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Strong typography, layout, and production skills
• Comfortable using AI tools where they speed up ideation and execution
• Clear communicator who asks the right questions upfront rather than iterating blindly
• CPG, food, or beverage design experience is a plus

• Part-time, roughly 20 hours per week, with a path to full-time
• $45-70 per hour, based on experience
• Fully remote, flexible schedule
• Opportunity to grow into a full-time role with benefits
