- Support brand consistency across all touchpoints
- Collaborate with the Marketing team on creative brainstorms and campaign development
- Contribute fresh ideas that push the creative envelope while staying true to the Hops brand

- Basic working knowledge of InDesign
- Experience or interest in GIFs or simple animation (bonus!)
- Strong eye for layout, color, and typography

What You’ll Gain
- Hands-on experience designing for a professional sports organization
- A diverse, high-volume portfolio across social, print, digital, motion, and in-venue media
- Exposure to multiple departments and real business needs
- Mentorship and coaching from an experienced Creative Services team
- Experience designing in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- A front-row seat to the creativity behind launching a new ballpark
