Terra’s Creative team is a tight-knit, collaborative group that thrives on solving diverse creative problems for our clients. We are seeking a Senior Graphic Designer with a strong design portfolio, agency experience, and an eagerness to grow as a strategic contributor.
This role is ideal for a designer with 3–5 years of agency experience, who is ready to take greater ownership of creative execution, contribute to client presentations, and act as a quality bar-setter within the team—without managing direct reports or owning cross-team initiatives.

- Study and understand scope of work documents, project timelines, call sheets, design briefs, and project requirements
- Conducting design research and analysis.
- Design a range of deliverables including social media graphics, digital ads, videos, presentations, white papers, and event collateral.
- Collaborate with project leads, strategists, and other designers to deliver polished, on-brand creative assets.
- Contribute to the visual strategy and execution of branding projects, including logo design, style guides, mood boards, and graphic systems.
- Participate in and guide internal reviews and client presentations; articulate rationale behind your design choices.
- Provide informal mentorship and creative feedback to junior designers as needed.
- Stay current on design trends and proactively share inspiration, tools, and process improvements with the team.
- Ensure consistency, quality, and attention to detail across all deliverables.
Who You Are
- You have 5+ years of professional experience in a graphic design role, ideally at an agency or in a fast-paced, client-focused environment.
- You are skilled in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and have working knowledge of motion design tools like After Effects or Premiere Pro.
- You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and have a strong sense of typography, color, layout, and composition.
- You’re proactive and confident presenting your design decisions to internal stakeholders.
- You thrive in a collaborative team setting, love giving and receiving feedback, and are always looking to elevate the work.
- You can manage your own projects independently but also know when to loop in leads or cross-functional teammates.
- You’re curious, adaptable, and energized by new tools, client industries, and creative challenges.
- You are located in the Pacific or Mountain time zone, and can be available from 8:00am to 5:00pm PT.
