Graphic Designer Job at Gameday Social Apparel in Sioux Falls

Our Values at Gameday Social 

Grit | We're hungry, we hustle, we pivot. We're still at the stage where everyone has to pitch in at the warehouse on occasion. No egos. 

Pursuing excellence | Getting better every day- moving swiftly when adjustments need to be made. 

Team orientation | We view our coworkers, customers and vendors as partners. Transparent and cross-functional is how we work. 

Boldly innovative  | We didn't get here with a "this is how it's done" mindset. We welcome ideas, creativity and we embrace obstacles as opportunities. 

Nimble | Our ability to chase trends and move quickly has led to our success, but also means very little is concrete. We aim to preserve this agility as we grow and look for people who can thrive when things are moving quickly.

Our Team & Success | Gameday Social is a South Dakota based fashion brand- for women, by women. Founded by Jael Thorpe in 2021, and an officially certified woman owned company, we aim to "elevate the social fan experience through licensed collaborations." We have grown rapidly through innovative design, outstanding quality and developing key retailer and licensing relationships across the country.
