About the Role

Rydell is hiring a full-time production-focused Graphic Designer to develop high‑quality, visually compelling designs across a range of digital and print platforms. This is a hands-on execution role — you'll take finalized creative briefs and turn them into polished, on-brand assets quickly and consistently. You'll own the day-to-day production of ads, layouts, and in-house marketing material. This role requires a strong foundation in graphic design principles, proficiency with industry‑standard tools, and the ability to translate marketing strategies into engaging visual content.

What You'll Do

• Produce a high volume of design assets across digital and print platforms: dealership promotions and sale events, online and social ads, email and web banners, signage, direct mail, branded materials, etc.
• Maintain brand consistency across all visual touchpoints (websites, signage, packaging, ads, etc.)
• Build multi-page layouts and brand collateral (brochures, magazine spreads, posters, etc.) in Adobe InDesign
• Create and refresh vehicle and inventory graphics for ads, web, and social
• Provide basic multimedia support (video editing in Adobe Premiere, photography)
• Prepare files correctly for both web and print, including batch exporting
• Maintain clean, organized files and follow company folder structures for proofs, exports, and assets
• Manage multiple projects, ensuring timelines, accuracy, and quality standards are met
• Design and implement brochure-style landing pages using AI-assisted development tools. Advanced programming experience is not required, but candidates should be comfortable using AI coding tools to make basic front-end updates and page layouts

Education & Experience

• Diploma, degree, or equivalent professional experience in Graphic Design or a related field.
• 2–5 years of relevant design experience

Design Software

• Strong proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
• Competency in Adobe Premiere for video editing and in-video typesetting
• Experience with Figma for website, landing page, and UI design preferred
• Comfort with keyboard shortcuts and efficient workflows

AI Tools

• Hands-on experience with Adobe Firefly and Adobe's in-app generative tools.
• Ability to use AI assisted coding agents in basic front-end development.
• Able to use AI to move faster in production: extending backgrounds, cleaning up and retouching images, generating variations, and building quick mockups
• Judgment to keep AI as a behind-the-scenes accelerator — final work should look polished and intentional, never obviously AI-generated

Workflow & Organization

• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and time management skills
• Clean file hygiene: organized layers, tidy handoff files, and adherence to folder structures

Portfolio

We want to see a wide range of mediums — commercial, magazine layouts, branding, etc. Strong candidates will show:

• Familiarity with brand standards
• Experience creating both digital and print materials
• Translating a creative brief into effective visual content
