Job Overview
Outlier’s marketing team is looking for a full-time Graphic Designer to extend and evolve our brand’s look-and-feel to catch the eyes of the next generation of students. You’ll research and explore new visual direction, curate and manage photography, and create designs to promote our ever-expanding course catalog. From our website and email, to social media ad creative, to brand videos and beyond, you’ll be in charge of creating and executing visual direction for our next phase of growth, getting students as excited to take Outlier courses as they might be about new videos from their favorite influencer.

- Evolve our new website as the company evolves and adds new courses and products
- Reinvent the look and feel of higher education for a new era and new generation
