MarComms – Senior Branding & Graphic Designer

Volunteer | Remote | 5 hour per week (project-based or ongoing)

Who We Are

At Creshendo, we believe everyone deserves the chance to belong, rebuild, and rise. We partner with displaced communities and grassroots organizations to co-create tools, programs, and advocacy that support self-reliance, integration, and dignity.

Our work sits at the intersection of community action, research, and advocacy—and how we communicate visually matters. Our brand must reflect trust, integrity, inclusivity, and impact across cultures and contexts.

Why This Role Matters

As Creshendo grows, so does the importance of a strong, coherent visual identity. Design is not just aesthetic—it’s how we communicate credibility, care, and belonging.

As our Senior Branding & Graphic Designer, you’ll help steward and evolve Creshendo’s visual identity so it consistently reflects our mission and values across platforms. This is not a production-only role. You’ll contribute strategic design thinking that shapes how our work is perceived by communities, partners, and supporters around the world.

What You’ll Be Doing

Brand & Visual Identity

• Help evolve and maintain Creshendo’s brand system across digital and print materials
• Ensure visual consistency, accessibility, and clarity across platforms
• Support the creation, refinement, and documentation of brand guidelines

Design & Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with the Marketing & Communications (MarComms) Director to translate brand strategy, messaging, and campaigns into compelling visual assets
• Provide thoughtful design input that strengthens storytelling, advocacy, and engagement efforts
• Support campaigns, reports, social media, and other communications as needed
• Work asynchronously in a remote, international environment with clear scopes and timelines

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of experience in branding and graphic design
• A strong portfolio demonstrating brand systems thinking, not just isolated assets
• Proficiency in Canva
• Ability to work independently, manage deliverables, and follow through with minimal oversight

Nice to Have

• Experience with nonprofits, advocacy, or mission-driven organizations
• Familiarity with inclusive, ethical, and culturally responsive design practices

What You’ll Gain

Joining Creshendo as a Senior Branding & Graphic Designer means you’ll:

• Use your expertise to support refugee empowerment and integration
• Work on meaningful projects with real-world social impact
• Collaborate with a respectful, values-driven, international team
• Contribute strategically to a growing organization’s public voice and identity
• Engage flexibly in work that respects your time and professional experience

How We Work

We operate with a G.Y.S.T. mindset: clarity over chaos, consistency over perfection, action over ego.

If you value thoughtful collaboration, strong craft, and purpose-driven work, you’ll feel right at home.

Time Commitment & Structure

• Flexible commitment (project-based or ongoing support)
• Clear scopes, timelines, and expectations for each project
• Fully remote and asynchronous
