Creative Director / Visual Design

The Creative Director elevates and safeguards Parkhill's visual identity, ensuring every design output reflects the firm's creativity, polish, and professionalism. More than maintaining templates, this role drives the creative vision that positions Parkhill as a design-forward, client-focused firm. The Creative Director ensures Parkhill's external brand presence and client-facing deliverables meet the same level of design excellence that defines our work in the built environment. This is a full-time, exempt position paid on a salary basis.
