Graphic Designer at Local Hero

Job Description

We’re seeking a Graphic Designer who’s excited about where creative is going — not just where it’s been.
This role blends strong design fundamentals with AI-forward thinking. You’ll help us turn AI-assisted concepts into polished, brand-level creative and play a key role in shaping how we integrate AI into our workflow.

This is not a prompt-only role. This is a designer role with AI fluency.

This position is remote (hybrid available if within commuting distance to Boulder, CO) and open to candidates living in the following locations:

Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico

*Relocation assistance is not provided. Do not apply if you do not reside in one of the above locations unless you are already planning to relocate at your own expense.

If you are looking to work in a fun start-up culture where you can take your skills to the next level, keep on reading!

A Day in the Life

Design campaign visuals across digital, social, and presentation formats
Elevate briefs and rough drafts into cohesive, brand-aligned creative

Here’s What You Need to Get Our Attention

Solid understanding of layout, typography, and visual hierarchy
Experience with and or a curiosity around AI tools and emerging creative tech
Ability to move quickly from concept to polished execution
Detail-oriented mindset with strong aesthetic judgment

Here’s What Will Make Us Call You for Sure

Previous digital marketing agency experience
Motion design or After Effects experience
Familiarity with generative image or video tools

Why This Role Matters

Creative demand is growing — more formats, more variations, faster timelines.
AI can accelerate exploration.
It cannot replace great design.
We’re looking for someone who can bridge that gap — elevating AI-assisted ideas into thoughtful, production-ready creative.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

We believe great marketing starts with great people! — curious, collaborative, and hungry to grow. You’ll be part of a
team that values initiative over hierarchy, creativity over convention, and learning over ego.
