Job Description
UATX is hiring a Graphic Designer to support the institution’s visual output across digital, web, print, and merchandising. This is not a “brand visionary” role.

· Web & WordPress
o Make routine website updates in WordPress (text edits, image swaps, layout adjustments)
o Upload and format new content pages in coordination with editorial
o Maintain visual consistency and accuracy across the site
o Troubleshoot basic layout or formatting issues within WordPress themes
· Brand & Visual Consistency
