The Role We Want You For

We're looking for a designer with a sensitive eye - someone who sees the half-pixel, feels the rhythm of a page, and knows a layout is off before they can say why. The kind of person who cares about the small things because the small things are the work. You'll join us at a real moment: Clayco is rebranding across the enterprise, and this role helps shape how that new identity shows up across print, digital, and the spaces our buildings live in. It's a rare seat at the table for someone early in their career - with room to grow into bigger brand work and explore what AI-driven design can do at a builder our size.

The Specifics of the Role
Help shape and roll out our new brand identity across the enterprise - from proposals to physical environments
Design the things that move the business forward - pitches, presentations, brochures, digital campaigns
Bring craft to longer-form work when it shows up: layouts, typography, narrative pacing
Keep our visual language tight and consistent as the rebrand takes hold, internally and externally
Partner with designers, marketing, and leadership on the work that matters most
Build templates, systems, and standards so the new brand scales cleanly across every team
Push into AI-driven workflows - generative tools, automated systems, agentic design - and bring back what actually works
Requirements

Studied graphic design, architecture, or something adjacent
Have a portfolio that shows real sensitivity to detail - typography, hierarchy, composition, the quiet stuff
Sweat the small things and still hit the deadline
Stay steady when the schedule tightens - proposals don't wait, and neither does great work
Are open-minded, curious by default, and the first to try the new tool before deciding what you think of it
Communicate well and play well with others
What we value

This part matters most, so we'll be direct: a sensitive, discerning eye is the thing. Then attitude. We want people who show up positive, stay positive when it gets hard, and lift the room rather than drain it. Skill matters - but a great attitude next to real skill is what we're actually hiring for. Add to that an open mind, a willingness to try new things (AI included, enthusiastically), and the steadiness to do good work under real deadlines.
