DESIGNER Job at new target, inc. in California

Design for brands you know and nonprofit you love.

Are you a seasoned creative professional who can balance big-picture strategy with hands-on design? We’re looking for a Designer to join our team in Alexandria, VA or in Irvine, CA. This is a full-time, on-site role (three days a week in office). In this role, you’ll influence and execute creative strategy while also rolling up your sleeves to craft beautiful, effective designs. If you thrive in a collaborative, digital-first agency where creativity and client relationships go hand in hand, we’d love to talk.

You’ll be the bridge between our clients and our creative. One day you might be brainstorming a marketing campaign’s look and feel; the next day, you’re in Figma designing a website layout or polishing a print brochure in InDesign. You’ll work closely with designers, developers, marketers, and project managers to deliver integrated solutions. We value teamwork and can-do attitudes – ideas are shared freely, and everyone contributes to producing work that wows our clients.

What you need for this role

• Hybrid skill set that blends approximately 70% design execution with 30% creative strategy– you can ideate a concept and also execute it flawlessly.
• Excellent communication skills and client-facing savvy. You’re comfortable representing creative work on client calls, presenting concepts, and defending your design decisions with rationale.
• 5+ years of experience in creative design roles, with a strong background in both strategy and hands-on design production across digital media.
• Portfolio of diverse work demonstrating your experience designing websites, logos, digital ads, print collateral, and presentations (yes, even PowerPoint).
• Expertise in design tools – especially Figma and Adobe InDesign – along with proficiency in the rest of Adobe’s Creative Suite.
• Proficiency with office tools like Microsoft Office (especially PowerPoint for presentations) and collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams.
• Education in art, design, or a related field – a Bachelor’s degree is preferred, but your experience and portfolio are what truly matter.

What you'll be doing in this Role

We provide a fast-paced, flexible, and positive atmosphere. With offices located in Alexandria, VA and Irvine, CA we’ve seen growth every year since our founding in 1998. Our diverse client base brings exciting work and new creative challenges to our team daily from brands you love and nonprofits you cherish!

We provide our team with medical, dental, and vision premiums covered by the company at above-market rates for the Washington metro area. A 401(k) plan with company matching at 4%. One month sabbatical leave after 10 years of continual employment. Weekly in-office staff lunches, quarterly team outings, and celebratory company events. And professional development opportunities including sponsorship to attend industry events virtually or in person.
