Graphic Design Lead

For candidates based in the New York City area, this role follows a hybrid schedule from our Brooklyn office. Candidates based outside the NYC area may work fully remote.

Tapstitch is looking for a Graphic Design Lead to join our content and brand team through an initial three-month, full-time contract, with the potential to transition into a permanent full-time role.

This is a highly hands-on, execution-focused role for a designer who can translate creative direction into polished, effective work across events, social media, campaigns, web, email, merchandise design, and other marketing channels.

You'll work closely with the Head of Content and Brand to bring Tapstitch's visual identity to life across digital and physical touchpoints. You'll be expected to take direction, understand the goal behind a project, and independently carry the work through from concept development to final execution.

This role is not responsible for leading a full rebrand or independently redefining the company's brand identity. Instead, you'll help elevate and evolve how the brand system is applied, identifying opportunities to improve consistency, strengthen visual storytelling, and make the brand feel owned across channels.

You'll have meaningful input into visual direction within those established brand parameters, including how campaigns, content series, events, and other initiatives come to life. You should be comfortable proposing new approaches, introducing stronger design solutions, and helping refine our visual standards while remaining aligned with broader brand strategy and creative direction.

Your work will range from decks and sales material to social content, campaign visuals, event signage, physical displays, apparel graphics, presentations, and other marketing assets. You'll also help build the templates, systems, and production processes that allow Tapstitch to create more consistent and scalable design work.

This role is ideal for someone who is self-sufficient, organized, and capable of moving projects forward without extensive guidance. At the same time, creative collaboration is core to our team - thinking outside the box and suggesting new concepts is encouraged. Success in this position requires strong listening skills, attention to the brief, and the ability to incorporate feedback accurately and quickly while staying on brand.
