Montana Career Opportunity – Graphic Designer – 6 Pony Hitch

You are a creative problem solver that understands the difference between great branding and cool design. You know how to create and maintain brand standards across all platforms. You love to collaborate. You have enough of an ego to try hard things but not so much of one that you can?t pass your files when you are stuck.

You can take a project from conception to completion on time and on budget. You can also work with other designers to help them make their projects better. You like both print and digital and you are constantly trying to get better at both. If you are into animation, tell us immediately.

You are a team player and bring talent, enthusiasm, professionalism, attention to detail and passion to every project including pre-press and production work. You are a good communicator and are comfortable talking to clients, vendors, teammates and management.

You believe your project manager is your lifeline, not your nemesis. You love efficiency and details. Details. Details. Details. You can track your time.

You have a strong sense of color and palette selection. You are great with typography. Some of this is intuitive but mostly you were trained. You have proven work experience and great references. You have expert knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and a working knowledge of HTML5 and CSS. You are super psyched to learn from developers and teammates. You just love to learn.

You love animals. You support women and LGBTI individuals. You care about the environment. You like people. You truly want to help clients. You are entrepreneurial. Mostly you are in love with what you do and it shows.
