Sobre este puesto de JR. GRAPHIC DESIGNER en The Florida Panthers
Organization Overview:
The Florida Panthers are in their 33rd season in 2026-27 as one of the National Hockey League's premier franchises. As back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions in 2024 and 2025, the Panthers have won 11 of their past 12 postseason series and captured four Eastern Conference Championships. The organization is led by President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Bill Zito, entering his seventh season, and President of Business Operations Michael White, beginning his first full season.
Anchored by a championship culture on the ice, the Panthers are equally committed to building a world-class sports and entertainment platform off of it. The organization focuses on delivering an elite guest experience across all venues, deepening the connection between the team and the South Florida community and continuing to grow the sport for the next generation. The Panthers operate four facilities in Broward County: Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise which is home of Panthers home games, concerts and events, Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs, the state-of-the-art Baptist Health IcePlex in Fort Lauderdale and renovated War Memorial Auditorium which hosts concerts and events year-round.
The Panthers are owned by Vincent J. Viola, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and a veteran of the U.S. Army. That foundation of selfless service shapes the organization's identity at every level. The Panthers' pillar program, "Heroes Among Us," honors a U.S. military veteran at every home game, and the Florida Panthers Foundation directs its efforts across four core pillars: veterans' affairs, children's health and education, raising awareness for the endangered Florida Panther and growing youth hockey throughout the region. The organization remains deeply committed to empowering and strengthening the diverse communities of South Florida and the tri-county area.

Sports experience is a plus, but a genuine love for the craft matters more.
You'll work under the guidance of the Creative Director and senior designers to support brand and campaign execution across all platforms. You'll be expected to contribute at a production level, absorb feedback quickly, and grow toward greater ownership as your skills develop.
Portfolio required. Work that demonstrates a foundation in type, layout, and problem-solving will stand out, even from class projects or internships. Applicants will not be considered without one.

Qualifications
- 0–2 years of graphic design experience, including relevant internships; title commensurate with portfolio and experience

- Growing interest in logo and identity work; class or personal projects welcome in portfolio
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite; familiarity with production across print and digital is a plus
- Sports or entertainment experience is a plus, but passion for the craft matters more than the industry
- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
