Full job description
Design Lead
Westminster University
Supervisor: Director of Marketing
Department: Office of Marketing, Communication, and Events
Position Summary
The Design Lead is Westminster's visual brand steward, reporting to the Director of Marketing. This role moves beyond brand maintenance into proactively shaping where Westminster's brand goes next, bringing initiative, strategic vision, and hands-on craft to every project.
Reporting to the Director of Marketing and in partnership with the Junior Graphic Designer, the Design Lead originates creative concepts and campaign thinking, translates institutional strategy into compelling visual solutions, and actively problem-solves to elevate the brand across print, digital, social, advertising, and editorial materials. They work cross-functionally with the internal MarComm team and campus partners.
The ideal candidate pairs strong design execution with strategic, big-picture thinking: someone who is constantly asking how Westminster's brand can be stronger, more cohesive, and more distinctive. They're excited to bring that thinking to a mission-driven institution with a strong sense of community and a real commitment to educational values, and they're energized by the cultural and creative life around them.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
CREATIVE DIRECTION AND BRAND
Serve as vision holder for Westminster's brand, proactively identifying opportunities to strengthen and evolve the university's visual identity, and contributing creative concepts and strategic design solutions that advance university goals and elevate projects from concept through execution
Develop wireframes and visual direction for campaign initiatives, partnering with the web team and other campus partners
Evaluate creative work across departments to identify where visual direction should shift, translating institutional priorities into cohesive visual communications
Ensure consistency, quality, and brand alignment across all marketing and communications materials, print through digital

Participate in project intake with the Director of Marketing, bringing design-specific questions to define project goals and creative briefs
Manage individual design projects and deadlines to ensure high-quality, timely execution
Strategize, design, and produce the Westminster Review magazine, annual event invitations, and other institutional publications
Translate campaigns across mediums — platform specs, reformatting, ensuring one campaign holds together from print to web
Develop and maintain university-wide design templates (Canva, PowerPoint, and other branded resources)
Co-manage print production and vendor relationships (estimates, specs, timelines, delivery); support sourcing of freelance creatives and specialty vendors
Present creative work and brand direction to stakeholders, advocating for strategic design
Solve production and creative challenges proactively
Stay current on design trends and production best practices
TEAM LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP
Mentor the Junior Graphic Designer and student employees, fostering craft and creative growth; track the team's project pipeline with the Director of Marketing
Present creative work and brand direction to external stakeholders/clients and internal teams
Partner closely with the Director of Marketing as a strategic creative counterpart — helping shape direction, not just receiving it
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communications, or related field
7+ years of professional graphic design experience, including meaningful agency or client-facing time and demonstrated growth into higher-level creative ownership
Strong portfolio demonstrating brand identity and systems-level thinking — not just campaign execution — across print, digital, social, web, and editorial
