Description

What You'll Own

• Lead the design and execution of key brand initiatives, campaigns, launches, partnerships, and marketing moments.

• Translate brand strategy and creative direction into compelling visual concepts and design systems.

• Take projects from brief through concept, presentation, refinement, production, and final delivery.

• Develop creative solutions across digital, social, print, environmental, presentations, merchandise, apparel, and other brand experiences.

• Establish strong visual hierarchy, typography, composition, imagery, and storytelling across the work.

• Build scalable templates, systems, and toolkits that maintain brand consistency across an international organization.

• Partner with marketing, social, product, franchise, and other teams to understand objectives and develop the right creative solution.

• Present creative work clearly and confidently, including the thinking and rationale behind it.

• Provide thoughtful feedback and guidance to junior designers and help raise the overall quality of the creative team.

• Work with photographers, videographers, agencies, freelancers, vendors, and other creative partners when needed.

• Maintain a high standard of craft from the initial idea through final production.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional graphic design experience, ideally within an in-house brand, agency, or consumer-focused environment.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating concept development, brand thinking, typography, layout, campaigns, and polished execution.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.

• Strong working knowledge of Figma and Canva.

• Experience with Adobe After Effects, motion design, or video is a strong bonus.

• Strong understanding of brand systems and the ability to work within them while knowing when and how to push them forward.

• Ability to balance conceptual thinking with hands-on execution.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to present and defend creative decisions.

• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and taking ownership of timelines and deliverables.

• Ability to give and receive direct, thoughtful creative feedback.

• Curious about culture, design, sport, technology, fashion, entertainment, and the world outside of golf.

• Experience in sport, lifestyle, apparel, hospitality, or consumer brands is a plus.


How We Work

We care about ideas, but ideas only matter if they're executed well.


Senior designers at The Back Nine are expected to think beyond the immediate deliverable. Understand the objective, find the opportunity, develop a point of view, and make the work better than what was originally asked for.


You'll have creative direction, but you'll also have room to lead. We want someone who brings ideas to the table, challenges the expected answer when there's a better one, and helps establish what great creative looks like for The Back Nine.


The goal isn't simply to produce more creative. It's to build a recognizable international brand with a clear point of view and a standard of work that grows stronger as we scale.
