We reach more than 150 million people every month in the United States alone. But we’re more than just our magazines.

We create, package, and sell products with cutting-edge technology and proprietary platforms. Together, we are reinventing publishing for the 21st century.

Key Responsibilities (What You Are Doing)

• Design compelling creative assets for digital, social, video, and print platforms that elevate the Delish brand.
• Collaborate with social and video teams to develop templates, graphic systems, title cards, lower thirds, end cards, thumbnails, and other visual assets for recurring content series.
• Translate digital templates into Figma to support efficient editorial workflows.
• Build and manage content within the content management system while maintaining brand consistency and quality.
• Create engaging recipe graphics, infographics, and social media assets for platforms including Instagram and Facebook.
• Design magazine layouts, manage production files throughout the creative process, and ensure projects remain on schedule.
• Set up Figma files for new quarterly issues and export/package final files for production.
• Produce occasional editorial illustrations and support cross-functional creative initiatives as needed.

Qualifications (What We’re Looking For)

• Bachelor's degree in graphic arts or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 4–5 years of experience in graphic design, preferably within publishing, editorial media, or a related creative environment.
• Experience designing for editorial, digital, and social platforms while maintaining a cohesive visual brand identity.
• Proficiency with Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and a basic understanding of HTML.
• Strong typography, photo-editing, and visual storytelling skills with a portfolio demonstrating excellence across digital and social media.
• Ability to distinguish platform-specific design needs rather than simply resizing assets across channels.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to incorporate feedback, manage multiple priorities, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Self-motivated, solution-oriented, and comfortable working independently while partnering across creative and editorial teams.
• Motion design, animation, video editing, or Adobe After Effects experience is a plus.
• This is a remote position, with occasional days in the office as needed.

The hourly rate for this role is $40.00–$50.00 per hour. This position is not eligible for bonus or commission compensation. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
