Big Monocle is looking for a Junior Designer with strong typographic and layout fundamentals who’s excited to grow across brand, marketing, digital, and UI-adjacent work.

We’re remote-first by design, with regular  in-person meetups in the Salt Lake City area as we get going. If you’re looking for  daily in-studio work, this likely isn’t the right fit. If you’re self-directed, curious, and motivated, keep reading.

What We’re Looking For

• You have a BFA in Graphic Design or related design program (required)

• You’ve spent 1–2 years designing professionally (internships and freelance count)

• You have a  sharp eye for typography, layout, and visual hierarchy (you notice bad kerning in the wild and can’t unsee it)

• You have excellent attention to detail and craft

• You can take direction, ask smart questions, and turn feedback into better work

• You can manage files, versions, and handoffs cleanly

• You’re excited to learn and grow

Technical Requirements

• Figma (required) — interest in UI/UX and responsive design is important

• Adobe Creative Suite (required)

  • Illustrator

  • Photoshop

  • InDesign

• Experience working on:

  • Digital and social assets

  • Basic print materials

  • Brand systems and templates

How You Work (and How We Do Too)

• You can manage yourself in a remote environment

• You take responsibility and see things through

• You care about details, polish, and intention

• You communicate clearly and professionally

• You protect your energy so you can do your best work

• You bring curiosity and momentum, not fear or ego

The Details

• Contract role for the first 3 months

• Strong potential to convert to full-time based on fit and performance

• Remote-first, with regular SLC meetups with the Art Director

• You’ll work across branding, digital, and evolving UI-adjacent projects

Benefits

Medical, Dental, Vision, 401-k, and more for W2 employees

About Big Monocle

Big Monocle is a strategy-led creative agency that believes the work is play — not because it’s easy, but because doing great work requires curiosity, presence, and care. We value craft, clarity, and thoughtful thinking, and we take pride in making things that are both beautiful and useful.

We work with smart, mission-driven clients across healthcare, energy, technology, and social impact. Our team is small, senior-led, and deeply collaborative. There’s no bureaucracy, no layers of approval for the sake of it, and no interest in performative hustle. We trust people to manage their time, bring their whole brain to the work, and keep getting better at their craft.

We value strong fundamentals, good taste, clear communication, and mutual respect. We believe people do their best work when they feel trusted, supported, and challenged.
