Job Summary

The Florida Panthers are looking for a craft-obsessed junior designer building a foundation in typography, layout, and visual storytelling. This role is for someone developing an eye for the details — kerning, hierarchy, consistency — and eager to bring that focus to every asset, from social content to campaign support. Sports experience is a plus, but a genuine love for the craft matters more.

You'll work under the guidance of the Creative Director and senior designers to support brand and campaign execution across all platforms. You'll be expected to contribute at a production level, absorb feedback quickly, and grow toward greater ownership as your skills develop.

Portfolio required. Work that demonstrates a foundation in type, layout, and problem-solving will stand out, even from class projects or internships. Applicants will not be considered without one.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Support the design team in producing on-brand visual assets across social, email, digital, in-venue, and more
• Assist in the execution of brand and campaign work under the guidance of senior designers and the Creative Director
• Apply foundational typography and layout skills across assigned projects, building toward greater ownership over time
• Help maintain Panthers brand standards across executions in collaboration with creative, motion, and content teams
• Support in-game and real-time social content needs as required
• Attend and contribute to creative brainstorming and production meetings; apply feedback quickly to sharpen craft and output

Qualifications

• 0–2 years of graphic design experience, including relevant internships; title commensurate with portfolio and experience
• Foundational typographic skills — type selection, hierarchy, spacing, and layout are actively developing strengths
• Growing interest in logo and identity work; class or personal projects welcome in portfolio
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite; familiarity with production across print and digital is a plus
• Sports or entertainment experience is a plus, but passion for the craft matters more than the industry
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
• Portfolio must include class projects, internship work, or professional work demonstrating design fundamentals
• Eager to learn, quick to adapt, and comfortable receiving direction from senior team members
• Must be currently living in, or willing to relocate to, South Florida; position is on-site
• Must be able to work flexible hours, nights, weekends, and holidays as needed

Position Type / Expected Hours of Work
