That’s agency life, baby!

The Brief

Are you a creative genius who dreams in Pantone colors and spends your free time studying typography (and, of course, have a favorite font)? If so, we want you to join our team as a Senior Graphic Designer.

Because you’ll be working onsite at our client in Austin, you must be able to work autonomously and with minimal supervision. Of course, you’ll have a Satori team in Houston that always has your back and who will work with you on all designs, layouts and internal/client approvals.

In this role, you'll be the one of the masterminds behind Satori's creative endeavors, spouting compelling concepts with ease, designing head-turning layouts and juggling multiple tight deadlines with finesse. We need a strategic thinker who understands that great design means translating our clients’ communications goals into captivating visual narratives that not only engage the audience but deliver big results. 

You'll have plenty of room to grow, with the potential to take the reins and lead our creative team in Austin down the line.

Meet Satori  

To most, Satori means sudden enlightenment (like, “Whoa…I just found my perfect job opportunity!”) But to us, it’s so much more. Satori is a noun. It’s an adjective. Sometimes, it’s even a verb (“Wow, we need to Satori the ___ out of this”).

The Satori team moves as one unit – Account Service, Creative, Media, Public Relations, Strategy, and Social Media – and we move swiftly. We’re driven by culture, of the team, and of the moment. We work hard and play hard. We walk, talk and think like humans, not like marketing robots or bigwig wannabes. We’re real and authentic — sometimes to a fault (we might cuss a little, too). And we support our clients and each other like family. When it comes to people joining our team, we look for those who do the same.
