Mid-Level Graphic Designer 2021

THE COMPANY:

Ledge Lounger in-pool and outdoor furniture and accessories can be seen worldwide at high-end pools, resorts, and homes. Experiencing rapid growth, we’ve recently been honored for the fourth consecutive year on Inc Magazine’s 5000 Fastest Growing Companies in America, as well as Houston Business Journal’s Fast 100.

THE DEETS:

As a graphic designer, you’re someone that dreams in pencil sketches, wakes up and imagines in RGB, and brings all those ideas to life in CMYK. You know that deadlines are non-negotiable, and you take ownership in every project you touch. You will join our fast-paced marketing team and balance a multitude of projects from email campaigns, print collateral, digital and social media, product packaging, and more. If you’re drawn in by collaboration and the opportunity to work on diverse projects in an environment that’s as challenging as it is fun, read on.

WARNING:

We move quickly. We set very high standards and then challenge ourselves to exceed expectations. We’re candid in the pursuit of greatness. We’re looking for a designer who is ready to grow creatively and challenge themselves day in and day out. If you’re looking for a job where you can meet, rather than exceed the status quo, this is definitely not the place for you.
