Associate - Graphic Designer

Summary

The Associate position supports our Firm  in both service delivery and administration. Whether through drafting deliverables or presentations, you will help other staff streamline the delivery of our good work.

Description

Think Rubix is a culture-first social impact consultancy. We practice social innovation. We create story. We work for good. We bring together expertise in equity, engagement, and storytelling to help our clients do their best work.

What is Social Innovation?

Social Innovation is organizing businesses, nonprofits, and governments to address complex social challenges at their roots in order to create systems of equity and improve the overall quality of culture.

How does TR work?

Think Rubix practices change by drawing from the creative power of culture to develop effective and equitable solutions to the unique and complex challenges that our clients face. To construct changemaking strategies, Think Rubix uses a suite of services across three interdisciplinary practices: Engagement; Equity Innovation; and Storytelling.

The Opportunity

Our Firm builds brands worth believing in and designs campaigns, experiences, and content to bend the arc of innovation towards equity. Our creative team of brand strategists and designers combine the power of creativity with the rigor of political strategy to help brands lead meaningful change. We call it storytelling because how we tell stories is intimately connected to the change we build.

Associates are responsible for developing the assets we deliver to our clients to meet their goals and the direction provided by Senior staff.
