Graphic Designer

Founded in 1991, Ingenuity Marketing Group is a small, 11-person firm based in the charming, historic city of Saint Paul, Minnesota. We help CPAs, attorneys, financial professionals – anyone who sells what’s in their heads – look good. Engineers, technology professionals and insurance consultants like us, too. But don’t let our small size fool you – our ranks are filled only with the sharpest, most savvy professionals and we pack a punch.
At present, we find ourselves in need of a Graphic Designer. At Ingenuity, this position is chiefly responsible for producing work that communicates our clients’ value in new and innovative ways – yet something that fits within their often conservative industries and personal natures. We call it “cutting-edge conservative.” As a creative liaison for both our clients and our team, we expect you will have the following:
-   Proven aesthetic for design through expert use of color, typography and art
-   Acute attention to detail; exacting standards of consistency and design integrity
-   Proficiency in all aspects of print design and production (pre-press)
-   Ability to speak the language of professional printers and various print technologies
-   Well-developed communication skills (both in person and by phone/email)
-   Ability to articulate and sell creative concepts to clients and team members alike
-   Ability to work on multiple, well-managed projects simultaneously
-   Talent for listening to what a client needs and then translating that into stellar design
-   Fluency in the Creative Suite (especially Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign)
-   Proficiency in website UI design and web usability principles
-   Comfortable with HTML/CSS and Dreamweaver; able to maintain websites
-   Solid knowledge of Microsoft Office (business templates that require the use of embedded graphics and/or designed layouts)
-   Able to work independently, with minimal supervision
-   Degree in graphic design or related field and/or equivalent experience
-   5-7 years of varied work history (agency, corporate, print, freelance, etc.)
Bonus points if you have:
-   Background or experience in professional services marketing
-   Fluency with HTML/CSS and Dreamweaver; able to build/code websites
-   Experience with SEO, social media and emerging web technologies
-   Previous experience in a supervisory role overseeing creative staff

We offer a flexible work environment and a fun, empowering culture. Your on-site office will be home on Tuesdays from 9am to 3pm, but beyond that, you may work wherever you wish.
