The selected candidate will work as part of a small, talented group of creative professionals supporting projects focused on circular economy, sustainable transportation, natural resource management, climate change, and community resilience.

    • Testing and remediating PDF documents to comply with ADA Accessibility standards.
    • Collaborating with project teams to conceptualize, design, and produce outreach and engagement materials, such as postcards, factsheets, posters, and flyers.
    • Applying fundamental design principles to make plans and reports more readable and engaging.
    • Performing final formatting and clean-up in Word, PPT, and InDesign to support quality assurance on a wide range of deliverables.
    • Supporting colleagues in learning and applying best practices in their design and development of work products.

    Qualifications:

    • Experience designing print and digital work products that meet specific design specifications, quality standards, client expectations, and/or other communication goals.
    • Motivated by Cascadia’s mission to inspire and empower communities everywhere to protect and restore our world in an equitable and inclusive way.
    • Ability to ask questions and get clarity on clients’ and team members’ primary goals and desires to incorporate their vision into finished work products.
    • Ability to adapt design strategy and efforts to match the time and budget that is available.
    • Comfort working both independently and as part of large and small teams.
    • Appreciation for honest, timely feedback—both reinforcing and constructive.
    • Skill in prioritizing tasks and maintaining focus across multiple projects/clients/teams, often with competing deadlines.
    • Willingness to request assistance or delegate tasks when needed to ensure a healthy and balanced workload.
    • Familiarity with best practices for ADA accessible, user-oriented design, and willingness to advocate for design options that meet the needs of under-served audiences.
    • Familiarity and comfort with developing inclusive designs that speak to audiences representing diverse cultures, languages, and demographics. This includes facilitating and implementing transcreation for non-English speaking communities.
    • Advanced skill in Adobe Creative Suite—particularly InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
    • Intermediate skill in MS Office—particularly Word and PowerPoint—and willingness to learn.
