Position Summary

Under the direction of the Director of University Marketing, the Graphic Designer serves as the University’s primary visual content creator, independently managing the full range of design work for the UNC Asheville Communication & Marketing Department. This position develops concepts and collateral for campaigns that support enrollment goals, student engagement, alumni relations, brand awareness, and event promotions, including support for high-level projects for the Office of the Chancellor and the Office of Admission and Financial Aid.

The Graphic Designer is responsible for generating ideas, developing creative designs, consulting clients, and efficiently producing University-standard assets in alignment with the University’s established Style Guide. Working directly with internal clients and external vendors, the Graphic Designer must possess excellent customer service skills to determine project parameters and manage each project from concept through final production. When necessary, this position also provides creative input for photography, video, and copy-editing.

Additionally, this position plays a key role in upholding University brand standards, ensuring all public-facing materials meet the University’s Style Guide for design integrity, appropriateness, printability, ADA/accessibility standards, copyright and licensing compliance. Using the Style Guide as a foundation, the Graphic Designer brings consistency and polish to materials that reach a wide audience across print and digital channels.

These assets, along with other in-house created pieces, require preparing files for press and production and soliciting quotes from vendors. This position is also responsible for organizing, backing up, and archiving digital artwork files to the Communication & Marketing computer server and managing the archiving of final print copies.

The range of work produced includes, but is not limited to, print and digital design for brochures, newsletters, reports, booklets, programs, ads, posters, wayfinding signage, billboards, presentations, invitations, postcards, promotional materials, social media graphics, and illustrations.
