You’ll embody the Circa Mindset—proactive, solution-oriented, and compassionate—while bringing a strong point of view to the work.

• Steward and evolve brand systems over time, bringing fresh creativity to both new and existing touchpoints.
• Apply the brand system to emerging needs such as presentations, sales materials, product packaging, digital products, environmental design, and campaigns.
• Create touchpoints that feel consistent but not redundant—allowing for flexibility and evolution while preserving the integrity of the brand identity.

Circa Marketing

• Support the Marketing team with creative asset design for social channels, case studies, and the website as needed.

What You Bring

• Senior-level experience as a brand or visual designer, with a strong track record of building and evolving identity systems.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution across a variety of formats (digital, print, environmental, and campaign work).
• Comfort collaborating with cross-functional teams and communicating clearly with both internal partners and clients.
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset aligned with Circa’s values of accountability, alignment, and agility.
• Strength in organizing your time and workload to reliably meet deadlines in a fractional capacity.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in agency, studio, or consulting environments where you’ve juggled multiple clients or brands at once.
