The role

As our next Brand Designer, you'll translate strategy into design that is both beautiful and built to perform. What makes this Strategic Advantage Inc role different is the ownership; the $52,000 - $79,000 and contract hours are just the entry fee.

Key Responsibilities

  • Generate concepts for contract campaigns spanning paid, owned, and earned media
  • Shape brand voice across every touchpoint our Annapolis customers actually notice
  • Research trends and competitor work to keep Strategic Advantage Inc's output ahead of the curve
  • Co-author the creative content calendar with marketing, then make it look effortless
  • Localize creative for Annapolis audiences without flattening the original idea
  • Set the typographic rhythm that ties a sprawling Framer library together

What You'll Bring

  • An innovative bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • A history of leaving creative processes better than you found them
  • Proven aptitude for People Management, ideally near Annapolis, MD
  • Hands-on experience with modern Persona Development workflows and tooling
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • A solid foundation in Zeplin, refined over 1+ years
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines

Strategic Advantage Inc took everything frustrating about creative and rebuilt it from scratch in Annapolis, MD, with impact-driven attention to Framer. Ownership at Strategic Advantage Inc means you fix the broken thing even when nobody assigned it to you.
