Zan Associates is in search of a full-time multimedia and graphic designer with skills and expertise in engaging text heavy design, social media, illustration, animation, video editing, and print production. Experience in storyboarding is a plus. This position comes with a competitive salary and benefits package and career advancement opportunities.

 

In this role, you would be part of a creative team to create assets for engagement activities and communications materials that inform the public about current or upcoming infrastructure projects and provide communities with a voice during the planning, designing, and building phases for public projects. We work with various public agencies in Minnesota and Oregon including MnDOT, Metro Transit, Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County, City of Minneapolis, City of St Paul, Oregon DOT and more. Most of our projects are infrastructure projects where people walk, bike, roll, take transit, and drive; and place-based projects where people gather like urban cores, parks, and community centers. Our creative team works with our project staff and clients to develop materials for print and digital mediums that range from designing public meeting promotions and materials to visually interpreting complex engineering drawings so they are suitable for a public audience. 

 

You would be responsible for collaborating with project managers and staff in a fast-paced, deadline driven environment to create design deliverables for multiple projects. You will use independent judgment and creativity along with oversight and work direction from our creative team leader. You must possess a strong and varied graphic design skillset that can support the creation of deliverables – in accordance with client brand standards and guidelines – that include handouts, postcards, large format presentation and event materials, summary reports, infographics, map and technical illustrations, social media graphics, and basic video editing and captioning. You must also be (or be eager to become) skilled at creating deliverables that are compatible with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. In addition to client-based work, you will also be responsible for developing and designing Zan marketing and internal communications. Occasional evening or weekend hours may be required.
