Role Overview

Authentic Live, the events and experiences division of Authentic Brands Group, is seeking a Graphic Designer to join the team for a six-month temporary position. This role will provide dedicated creative support across Authentic Live’s growing portfolio of live events, experiences, partnerships, hospitality programs, and new business initiatives. The Graphic Designer will work closely with the Authentic Live Operations, Marketing, Sales, and Production teams to translate ideas and brand direction into polished, compelling creative. The role will span everything from social and digital content to client-facing pitch decks and on-site event production assets.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable creating a polished client pitch deck, developing social assets for an upcoming event, and turning around production-ready signage for an event happening the following week. They understand that live events move quickly and can balance strong creative thinking with the speed, flexibility, and attention to detail required to execute.
