Remote Job Graphic Designer (Full Time) (AAMCO Car Care) (Fully Remote)

You wake up every morning with a passion for the creative. You love working with a great team but also thrive doing independent work. You’re a self-starter, make your own schedule with ease and have the discipline needed to keep multiple projects on track at a time. You’re also customer obsessed and constantly think about how to make things simpler for real people. As Graphic Designer, you are a “keeper of the Brand”, and you know how important that is. On your watch, rogue fonts are met with lightning-like reflexes and meet a quick demise. You seek out and destroy inconsistent formatting, low quality images and unapproved use of our brand faster than Adobe renames its products. You’re like a Jedi with safer working conditions.

If this describes you, you may be an excellent fit to work with an iconic American automotive brand where your work ties to a clear and important sense of purpose. After all, cars are more than a status symbol or weekend hobby—cars keep our economy moving and keep families safe as they do the critical work in our communities. And deliver donuts.

We are a cohesive, positive team of mostly stable and relatively normal marketers who love our work. Our team supports both the AAMCO Franchise system and our Corporate owned locations. Your role will be to provide assets through our team of highly skilled marketing managers to support each of our locations plus our corporate initiatives.
