Graphic Designer - 100% Remote Role

The Graphic Designer serves as CCAoA’s principal visual storyteller, creating compelling and high-quality designs that amplify the voice of child care across membership, events, research, products, partnerships, and advocacy efforts. This role requires a designer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment, someone who can move quickly from concept to execution while maintaining creativity, consistency, and brand integrity. The Graphic Designer must be flexible, highly responsive to feedback, and able to absorb and apply brand guidelines across all design products.

The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio showcasing a range of design work, including digital ads, infographics, multimedia, social media assets, print collateral, and branding projects. This role requires the ability to navigate varying levels of direction, sometimes receiving detailed guidance, other times little to none, and translating that into high-quality, brand-aligned designs. The candidate must be comfortable iterating based on feedback, refining their work efficiently until the final product meets both stakeholder expectations and CCAoA’s brand standards.

Child Care Aware of America (CCAoA) is the only national organization that supports every part of the child care system.
