Senior Graphic Designer Job at McKee Wallwork in Albuquerque

Overview

We are seeking an experienced, conceptually-driven designer to join our tight-knit team. This role demands a versatile visual communicator who can explore and elevate ideas, translate abstract strategy into visuals, and execute both big-picture design systems and daily deliverables with precision and creativity.

You’ll work alongside strategists, writers, and other designers to bring organizational identities to life across a wide range of media. From evolving early-stage concepts into refined visual executions, to crafting thoughtful brand systems, this role will put your full creative skillset to work.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with strategy and creative teams to develop and push conceptual directions.
• Create comprehensive visual identity systems, including logos, typography, color palettes, and layout styles.
• Design a wide range of deliverables including online advertising assets (static, animated, and video), promotional materials, website layouts and landing pages, branded social content, and presentation decks.
• Translate abstract ideas into concrete visuals while balancing creativity and functionality.
• Refine and iterate designs based on team and client feedback.
• Stay current on design trends, tools, and technologies.
• Elevate the level of execution past the status quo.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional design experience, preferably in a multidisciplinary environment.
• A compelling portfolio that demonstrates sophisticated conceptual thinking, strong typography and layout skills, and brand identity development across multiple touchpoints.
• Digital campaign and UI/UX design (web, mobile, social).
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, XD).
• Familiarity with AI design tools (e.g., Midjourney, Sora) is a strong plus.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
• A passion for problem-solving, storytelling, and strategic creativity.

Bonus Skills

• Motion design (After Effects, Premiere)
• Illustration or photography
• Front-end design awareness (not coding, but understanding how design translates to web)
