• Bring fresh perspectives to projects while maintaining strong brand consistency
• Support product launches, brand initiatives, and seasonal campaigns
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong organization and attention to detail
• Work independently to meet deadlines while staying aligned with team priorities
• Participate in creative reviews and collaborate in‑person during weekly office days

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a graphic designer (freelance or in‑house) with a strong, well‑rounded portfolio
• Comprehensive understanding of key design element needs related to each platform placement (programmatic, paid social, homepage banner, etc.)
• Understanding of design trends and latest tools to efficiently and effectively build content 
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign; motion or video skills are a plus)
• Strong knowledge of golf and a genuine passion for the game
• A creative thinker who enjoys problem‑solving and bringing new ideas to the table
• Highly collaborative, with strong communication skills and openness to feedback
• A self‑starter who works well independently and takes ownership of projects
• Exceptionally organized, with the ability to manage timelines, assets, and multiple workstreams
• Comfortable working in a hybrid setup, requiring commutes to our Carlsbad office for onsite days
• Bonus: Experience with studio and/or lifestyle photography
