As a Graphic Designer at Latitude Geographics, you’ll have a unique and integral role as a member of our Marketing team; both internal and external projects will benefit from your knack for visual design and communication. From growing and reinforcing our brand across multiple channels – to designing compelling, premium digital and social content – to helping us stand out at events, you’ll find each day provides new creative challenges and experiences.

We’re looking for creativity, talent, and a razor-sharp attention to detail; this position requires a combination of creative vision and tactical organizational skills. You will be the sole designer on the team, which will give you creative control (within our brand guidelines, of course!) and autonomy in many of the decisions you will make. This doesn’t mean you will be alone, however: you will support – and be supported by – a team of exceptional software developers, training and support professionals, account managers and executives, and a tight-knit Marketing team that can’t wait for you to join us!
