Graphic Designer

Job Role: Junior to Mid-Level Graphic Designer

Full-time Position (Charlottesville, VA). Ideally not a fully remote position, but flexible. We would love to find someone within driving distance of Charlottesville for meet ups from time to time, but are open. Curious? Just ask.

Overview: Watermark Design is an award-winning branding and package design studio delivering exceptional artistry. We offer branding, packaging and illustration services for craft beverage and other premium brands. We might be smaller in a small town, but our work isn’t. We have won awards nationally and internationally and many of our clients are nationally recognized names. No shortage of opportunity here. Why join a small studio? You are completely. hands. on. everything. You drive the direction of Watermark. Who Watermark is changes with each new hire – you have the opportunity to actually be a part of decision making.

We are looking for a qualified graphic designer to join our team. We look for team members who want to find a long-term home in which they can develop and grow. We are a small studio with a family atmosphere. Our studio is located in Charlottesville, a smaller but growing town in the heart of the mountains, but we are very close to Richmond and DC for city days.

• We flex as needed – have a doctors appt? Np – we can flex your hours that day. Need to wfh for the morning? Nbd.

• Work hard, play hard.  We are surrounded by over 300 wineries… which many happen to qualify as client visits (wink wink). We love a good happy hour or team lunch.

• What do we value? Respect, Trust, Positivity, Gratitude, Kindness, and Drive (we are hungry and growing. We aim to be the best, but are humble about it). We also know that our employees are our best asset and they are treated accordingly. This is a collaborative environment.
