The Role We Want You For

We're looking for a designer with a sensitive eye — someone who sees the half-pixel, feels the rhythm of a page, and knows a layout is off before they can say why. The kind of person who cares about the small things because the small things are the work. You'll join us at a real moment: Clayco is rebranding across the enterprise, and this role helps shape how that new identity shows up across print, digital, and the spaces our buildings live in. It's a rare seat at the table for someone early in their career — with room to grow into bigger brand work and explore what AI-driven design can do at a builder our size.

The Specifics of the Role

• Help shape and roll out our new brand identity across the enterprise — from proposals to physical environments
• Design the things that move the business forward — pitches, presentations, brochures, digital campaigns
• Bring craft to longer-form work when it shows up: layouts, typography, narrative pacing
• Keep our visual language tight and consistent as the rebrand takes hold, internally and externally
• Partner with designers, marketing, and leadership on the work that matters most
• Build templates, systems, and standards so the new brand scales cleanly across every team
• Push into AI-driven workflows — generative tools, automated systems, agentic design — and bring back what actually works

Requirements

• Studied graphic design, architecture, or something adjacent
• Have a portfolio that shows real sensitivity to detail — typography, hierarchy, composition, the quiet stuff
• Sweat the small things and still hit the deadline
• Stay steady when the schedule tightens — proposals don't wait, and neither does great work
• Are open-minded, curious by default, and the first to try the new tool before deciding what you think of it
• Communicate well and play well with others

What we value

This part matters most, so we'll be direct: a sensitive, discerning eye is the thing. Then attitude. We want people who show up positive, stay positive when it gets hard, and lift the room rather than drain it. Skill matters — but a great attitude next to real skill is what we're actually hiring for. Add to that an open mind, a willingness to try new things (AI included, enthusiastically), and the steadiness to do good work under real deadlines.
