Junior Graphic Designer | Clayco | Handshake

Junior Graphic Designer — Brand + Visual Communications The role We're looking for a designer with a sensitive eye — someone who sees the half-pixel, feels the rhythm of a page, and knows a layout is off before they can say why. The kind of person who cares about the small things because the small things are the work. You'll join us at a real moment: Clayco is rebranding across the enterprise, and this role helps shape how that new identity shows up across print, digital, and the spaces our buildings live in. It's a rare seat at the table for someone early in their career — with room to grow into bigger brand work and explore what AI-driven design can do at a builder our size. What you'll do Help shape and roll out our new brand identity across the enterprise — from proposals to physical environments Design the things that move the business forward — pitches, presentations, brochures, digital campaigns Bring craft to longer-form work when it shows up: layouts, typography, narrative pacing Keep our visual language tight and consistent as the rebrand takes hold, internally and externally Partner with designers, marketing, and leadership on the work that matters most Build templates, systems, and standards so the new brand scales cleanly across every team Push into AI-driven workflows — generative tools, automated systems, agentic design — and bring back what actually works You probably Studied graphic design, architecture, or something adjacent Have a portfolio that shows real sensitivity to detail — typography, hierarchy, composition, the quiet stuff Sweat the small things and still hit the deadline Stay steady when the schedule tightens — proposals don't wait, and neither does great work Are open-minded, curious by default, and the first to try the new tool before deciding what you think of it Communicate well and play well with others What we value This part matters most, so we'll be direct: a sensitive, discerning eye is the thing. Then attitude. We want people who show up positive, stay positive when it gets hard, and lift the room rather than drain it. Skill matters — but a great attitude next to real skill is what we're actually hiring for. Add to that an open mind, a willingness to try new things (AI included, enthusiastically), and the steadiness to do good work under real deadlines. One more thing Clayco is a design-build company in the middle of a brand evolution — the work you make ends up in the world, on buildings, in pitch rooms, in the moments where decisions get made. Wide range, real pace, good people, and a once-in-a-while chance to help redefine how an enterprise looks and feels. Construction can sound boring on paper. Clayco isn't. Come build something with us.
