Graphic Designer; Remote Eligible

Note - Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. All candidates must be eligible to work and live in the U.S. This position has been deemed critical by the School of Engineering Dean’s Office and is exempt from the hiring freeze.

Stanford Engineering has been at the forefront of innovation for nearly a century, creating pivotal technologies that have transformed the worlds of information technology, communications, health care, energy, business and beyond. Our faculty and students are creative risk-takers who pursue excellence across a breadth of disciplines. Our alumni include some of the world's most successful leaders in technology and business. Our staff are critical to enabling Stanford Engineering to accomplish its mission: seeking solutions to some of the world's most urgent challenges and educating leaders who will make the world a better place through the power of engineering principles, techniques and systems.

Stanford Center for Global and Online Education brings Stanford's world-class education to learners and organizations globally. We operate Stanford Online and Stanford Enterprise Education - brands that reflect the caliber and innovation of Stanford University while remaining accessible, authentic, and memorable.

We're looking for a talented Graphic Designer to join our team and help us stand out in an increasingly crowded digital education landscape.

As our Graphic Designer, you'll be the creative force behind how we show up in the world. You'll develop visual identities, create compelling marketing assets, and ensure brand consistency across three distinct but connected entities:
Stanford Online, Stanford Center for Global and Online Education, and Stanford Enterprise Education.

This isn't a typical corporate design role. You'll work across the full spectrum—from B2B client deliverables to consumer-facing digital campaigns, from leadership conference materials to web design prototypes. You'll have creative ownership while collaborating closely with our marketing team, web designer, and stakeholders across the organization.

As AI-generated content becomes the norm, your ability to create authentic, brand-aligned work that actually resonates with our audience is more valuable than ever. We need someone who can think strategically about brand and design while executing creatively innovative work across multiple platforms and formats.
