Job Description

At Orgill, creativity isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about helping thousands of independent retailers grow stronger businesses and compete in an evolving marketplace.

We’re looking for a Senior Graphic Designer to join our evolving in-house creative team and help shape bold, strategic, high-quality work across brands, campaigns, events, experiences, and marketing initiatives.

This is not a production-only role.

We’re looking for someone who thinks conceptually, solves problems creatively, obsesses over details, and enjoys bringing ideas to life from concept through execution. Someone who can move between strategy and craft. Someone who wants meaningful work, variety, ownership, and the chance to help elevate creative standards inside a growing organization.

If you love great design, thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy collaborating across teams, and want your work to have visible business impact—this role could be for you.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Graphic Designer, you’ll serve as an advanced individual contributor responsible for owning and delivering high-quality creative work across a variety of business initiatives.

You’ll partner closely with Brand Strategy, Marketing, Events, Sales, Technology, and internal stakeholders to create compelling visual solutions that support both business goals and customer success.

This role is ideal for a designer who enjoys ownership without people management—someone who wants to focus on mastering their craft, influencing outcomes, and producing exceptional work.

You’ll help move projects from concept to execution while contributing ideas, elevating quality, improving processes, and helping shape the future of a growing in-house creative function.

Embrace Innovation

• Identify opportunities to improve speed, personalization, and creative quality
• Contribute to evolving creative processes and team best practices

Success in This Role Looks Like

• Consistently delivering strong, polished creative work
• Taking ownership of projects with minimal direction
• Bringing thoughtful ideas—not just execution

• Building trusted partnerships across teams
• Raising the overall quality and consistency of creative output

You Might Be a Great Fit If You…

• Care deeply about design craft and details

• Experience leading projects from concept through final delivery
• Strong presentation and communication skills
• Familiarity with digital, motion, and emerging design tools
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
