About the role:

Reporting to the Creative Director, the Junior Graphic Designer will create graphics and visual materials for campaigns, maintain brand consistency, and support the team on projects ranging from social media assets to billboards. They will collaborate with senior designers, learn our workflows, and contribute their own ideas and strategies as they grow in the role. This position is ideal for someone early in their design career who wants to develop their skills while doing meaningful, mission-driven work.

About Indivisible Project

We’re building together. We’re building a new organization every day - a rare opportunity to model what we want to see in the world. We’re deeply committed to equity and building a diverse and inclusive organization.

We’re looking for you. If you want to fight for the soul of American democracy, there’s no better place to be than Indivisible. We’re looking for more team members who are passionate about building an inclusive democracy and committed to getting results. It’s an exciting, fulfilling place if you’re someone who wants to fight fiercely for the progressive world we want to have.

Every one of us on the national team is here because we believe this movement is the best way to retake and build progressive power in this country. Does that ring true for you? If so, great - throw your hat in the ring to join our team. Let’s start #winning together. For more information about Indivisible’s organizational principles, click here.
