Job Description:

Purple Finch Events is seeking a full-time Graphic Designer for Production & Events to join our creative team supporting mission-driven nonprofit clients across New Hampshire and beyond. This role focuses on translating design direction into cohesive visual suites for fundraising events, capital campaigns, community initiatives, and internal projects. You will collaborate closely with our Creative Design Manager as well as clients during revision and approval cycles to bring collateral from concept to final delivery.

This is a production-forward, detail-oriented role involving timelines, version management, file preparation, and final production. We are a remote-first office with the ability to meet in coworking spaces as needed. Because of this structure, the ideal candidate is highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable managing deadlines without daily oversight.

Why Join The Flock?

Working at Purple Finch Events means using your craft to help nonprofit organizations tell their stories, grow their impact, and strengthen their communities. The work you create directly supports causes across housing, food security, arts and culture, youth services, and health. You’ll gain experience in full-suite design across print, digital, and live event environments, collaborate with a small creative team that values thoughtful design and clean execution, and build a portfolio filled with meaningful, mission-driven work. We offer a remote-first culture, opportunities for coworking and collaboration, and a creative environment that rewards curiosity, reliability, and kindness.

Key Responsibilities:

Produce full design suites across pre-event and day-of collateral, including:

Pre-event assets

Sponsorship decks (from creative direction)
Save-the-dates & invitations (digital + print)
Event branding extensions & iconography

Day-of assets

Programs & booklets
Menus, table numbers, place cards
Signage (registration, cocktail, restroom, directional, etc.)
Stage & large-format displays
Donor/sponsor recognition boards
Digital decks for AV/screens
Impact storytelling boards
Wayfinding & informational signage
Client Edits & Versioning WorkflowApply internal and client edits across asset suites
Maintain version history and consistency
Coordinate revision timelines and approvals
Communicate clearly and professionally during review cycles
Ensure accuracy in final deliverables

Some assets may be shared via Canva for controlled client edits (e.g., sponsor names, agendas, titles), and the designer ensures formatting and visual quality remain intact.

Print Production & Vendor CoordinationThis role includes ownership of preparing final files for production, including:

Preparing print-ready files with bleeds, crop marks, safe zones, and correct color profiles
Managing production timelines and scheduling with print vendors
Coordinating proofs and approvals with internal and client teams
Reviewing proofs for accuracy prior to print
Supporting reprints or quantity adjustments as required

Experience with large-format or specialty print vendors is a plus.

Deadlines & Live Event AdaptabilityBecause our work supports live events with fixed dates, assets sometimes require:

accelerated revision cycles
sponsor/guest list updates
signage changes
quantity adjustments
additional reprints
AV/digital deck updates

The designer must remain calm, organized, and solution-focused under time-sensitive conditions.

Tools & Workflow needs:

Primary Design Tools

Canva (primary design environment)
Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop)

Collaborative + Motion (Bonus Skills)

Figma (collaborative design + layout)
CapCut / Canva Motion / After Effects (basic motion)

Digital Presentation Tools

PowerPoint (strong plus; many final decks delivered to AV teams)
Keynote and/or Google Slides

Workflow & Productivity

Google Suites (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides)
Slack / Asana / Notion (or comparable)
File naming discipline, organization, and version control expected

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…

Enjoy building full asset suites rather than standalone pieces
Thrive in production-oriented environments with structure and deadlines
Communicate clearly and respectfully with clients and teammates
Have patience for iteration and revision-based work
Can work calmly under deadline pressure and shifting information
Understand that sometimes “done well and on time” matters most
Have curiosity about nonprofit, event, or community-centered work
Take pride in accuracy, alignment, and polished execution

Experience Level:

We welcome candidates early in their careers who have strong production skills and a portfolio demonstrating thoughtful layout and design fundamentals.

Typical backgrounds include:

1–4 years professional design experience (agency, in-house, freelance, nonprofit, event production, or higher-ed environments)

relevant portfolio experience indicating readiness for production responsibilities
