Creative Writer

As our next Creative Writer, you'll translate strategy into design that is both beautiful and built to perform. This is $55,000 - $83,000 for 4 years of Design Sprints, an internship schedule, and a mid-level stake in where Civic Innovation Lab heads next.

Key Responsibilities

• Coax usable feedback out of a divided review with a sharper set of questions
• Rescue a stalled concept by attacking it from a Design Sprints angle nobody tried
• Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces
• Stitch fragmented brand assets into a system that scales past Civic Innovation Lab's next phase
• Tighten a loose deck until every slide earns its place in the internship pitch
• Translate Critical Thinking research findings into a visual the whole floor can act on
• Create wireframes, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes for web and mobile
• Support mid-level designers through critique, mentorship, and shared best practices

What You'll Bring

• A Chesapeake network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• Practical command of Visual Design, with bonus points for Service Design
• A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
• A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
