The Role

A great creative hire changes how a company sees itself, and Public Affairs Institute is ready for that kind of shift with our incoming Senior Graphic Designer. Reduce it to essentials and you have $100,000 - $137,000, a WA Senior Graphic Designer seat, 6 years asked, and a clear climb ahead.

Key Responsibilities

  • Pull through one feedback-driven visual idea across web, print, and the Renton, WA storefront
  • Curate and art-direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
  • Carry layouts from napkin scribble to press-ready file without losing the spark
  • Generate concepts for freelance campaigns spanning paid, owned, and earned media
  • Read the room mid-presentation and reorder the deck on the fly
  • Recast dry compliance copy as something a human might willingly read
  • Produce polished assets using Motion Design and Style Guides from concept through final delivery

What You'll Bring

  • A track record of deeply technical delivery in a freelance structure
  • A solid foundation in Storyboarding, refined over 7+ years
  • Practical User Research skills sharpened in a freelance setting
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • Willingness to relocate to Renton, WA, or to make remote work
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery

Public Affairs Institute took everything frustrating about creative and rebuilt it from scratch in Renton, WA, with goal-oriented attention to Storyboarding. Every Senior Graphic Designer at Public Affairs Institute owns an outcome, not just a checklist of tasks.

We set the base at $100,000 - $137,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

The team in Renton is interviewing on a rolling basis, so early applicants get noticed first.
