Responsibilities

• Execute 2D retail graphics and signage based on established creative direction, from layout development through production-ready artwork, for ongoing programs across DICK'S Sporting Goods, House of Sport, and Golf Galaxy.
• Apply brand standards, templates, and approved design systems consistently across programmatic signage and multiple store formats.
• Build layouts primarily in Adobe InDesign, with image preparation, compositing, and retouching in Photoshop and vector support in Illustrator as needed.
• Develop environmental design skills over time by learning SketchUp, signage placement, and how 2D graphics are applied within a store environment.
• As skills develop, support Level 1 concept work under the guidance of creative leadership, including simple environmental concepts, visual exploration, and presentation development.
• Prepare client-ready presentations, mockups, proofs, and production files; incorporate feedback accurately and efficiently.
• Collaborate within the 2D Design Team and with project managers, production artists, engineers, account partners, and vendors to maintain design intent and production quality.
• Follow established templates, specifications, file organization, naming, version control, and preflight standards across all assignments.
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines while communicating status, risks, questions, and next steps proactively.
• Perform detailed quality-control reviews for copy, dimensions, color, brand consistency, production feasibility, and final deliverables.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in graphic design, visual communication, environmental design, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 2-4 years of professional design experience in retail, agency, in-house, or production-focused environments.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong 2D design fundamentals, layout craft, and production execution; retail signage or environmental work is a plus, not a requirement.
• Demonstrated experience preparing accurate final artwork while meeting quality and deadline expectations.
• Experience working within brand standards, receiving direction and feedback, and making revisions accurately and constructively.
• Experience with SketchUp, 3D visualization, retail environments, or store planning is preferred but not required; interest and ability to learn are essential.
