SET SEG is looking for a graphic designer to bring the organization’s brand to life through high-quality visuals that support member outreach, retention, and sales initiatives. This role is responsible for creating and maintaining consistent, engaging design across all member-facing materials including print, digital, presentation, and conference and event visuals.

WHO WE ARE

School Employers Trust (SET) is a non-profit company that was created after a monumental shift in school funding happened in 1965. SET, which began in 1971, served as an employee benefits association focused on offering comprehensive and affordable employee benefit solutions to Michigan public schools and their employees. Two years later, its partner organization School Employers Group (SEG) was formed to administer compensation and fringe benefits for SET. As schools were faced with more challenges related to risk management, SEG evolved and grew into a company that provides workers’ compensation and property / casualty services for Michigan public schools.

Today, SET SEG continues to expand and find creative ways to meet the specialized needs of its members. This, coupled with a superior member experience, is why SET SEG has maintained its position as an industry leader in the school risk management.

We value those who proactively solve challenges, simplify the complex, thrive in a fast-paced setting, have a customer-first mentality, and seek a collaborative and inclusive work environment. We offer 100% employer-paid insurance (medical, dental, and vision), paid time off (PTO), and paid parental leave.

Our passion is delivering peace of mind to Michigan public schools and we look for team members who are motivated by our cause. To learn more, visit : https : / / setseg.org.
