Position Summary

Covercraft Industries is seeking a Junior Graphic Designer to support the Creative Services team across digital, e-commerce and print work. This role helps the team deliver more, faster: resizing and formatting approved designs, preparing files and images, building assets from established templates, and keeping our asset library organized. Working collaboratively within the creative services team, the Junior Graphic Designer will build skills across every area of our creative work, with a path to grow into a Graphic Designer role. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, organized, eager to learn, and comfortable handling a high volume of quick-turnaround tasks.

Core Responsibilities

• Resizing and adaptation: resize and adapt approved designs across sizes, channels and formats, including paid media, social, email, web and marketplace assets.
• File preparation and formatting: format and prepare files to specifications for digital, print and partner channels, following naming conventions and version control.
• Image preparation: clipping, background removal, precise vector path creation for product silhouettes, basic retouching, and color correction.
• Template-based production: build assets from established Adobe and Figma templates, such as email modules, sales sheet variants and trade show collateral.
• Marketplace and partner channel support: populate listing images and A+ content from approved templates, and prepare asset packages for distributor partners.
