Graphic Designer

Overview:
Corporate Tools is looking for a graphic designer with a background in UI, branding identity, and/or illustration, but we hate to get so oddly specific about all that. This is a full-time, 40-hour, Monday - Friday, remote position with an annual salary starting between $70,000 - $75,000. Our main office is in Spokane ,WA, and we have satellite offices in Austin, TX and Salt Lake City, UT.
The role works with a portfolio of many websites and an ever-expanding set of software tools, but they are all in-house projects (no external clients). Projects may include web designs/redesigns, app development, spot illustrations, iconography, logo/brand development, brand campaigns for social media and external channels, and graphic support on video and animation projects.
You will be able to draw on your skills and experience to do whatever you need to get the job done right. You should have an interest in researching to understand the users and visitors of these properties and think outside the box to raise the level of the projects you'll work on. This is a chance to really dig in and do amazing things.
Corporate Tools stays at the forefront of our industry's trends, setting the bar for many others. Everyone must work proficiently, so being a team player is a must. In addition to playing well with others, we would anticipate our graphic designer to be extraordinarily creative, have advanced knowledge of Adobe CS products, and speak the language of design and production in the digital setting.
