What we're looking for: a dynamic, high-level creative thinker to join our West Florida Public Engagement and Communications Team as a Graphic Designer II.

A strong design aesthetic and an eye for layout, hierarchy, and accessibility, and the ability to interpret complex or technical content into visuals that are engaging and easy to understand are essential. You should be comfortable working both independently and with strategists, writers, and engineers, and be a constant learner who stays ahead of design trends.
