Senior Designer

The harder we work, the better we play - and we're looking for a pretty special person to share that with us. You should be creative yet methodical, artistic yet strategic. As a senior graphic designer at Adcetera, you'll have your hands in a number of different brands and media, and you'll be expected to have a controlled rein over them all.

Flexibility and versatility are key here. Print, outdoor, POP, interactive and good ol' fashioned branding - we've got all the usual suspects, but you'll also need to know how to put a storyboard together. You'll need proven experience in Web design. You'll need to conquer in-store displays. And you'll need to draw. We like pictures.

We want the aesthetics right, and we want it on our schedule. Then we want to play.

Job Requirements

  • A degree in a related field
  • 5+ years of agency or corporate marketing experience
  • Ninja-level proficiency in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign
  • Proven conceptualization skills
  • Receptiveness to collaborating with creative directors, copywriters, account services and clients
  • Self-motivation, originality, enthusiasm, commitment and problem-solving skills
  • A desire to work in the heart of midtown Houston, where you're positively steeped in the fine arts scene, the best banh mi is a stone's throw away (and under $3), and happy hour is more like ecstatic-to-celebrate-anything-we-possibly-can hour

We need the regular stuff, like your cover letter and resume, but what we're really focusing on is your portfolio. Blow us away with 3-5 samples of your best work or a link to your online portfolio.

Send all of the above, and NOT just your resume, to: work@adcetera.com.
