The Center for Public Partnerships and Research (CPPR), a designated center within the Achievement and Assessment Institute (AAI), seeks a full-time Graphic Designer. We see graphic design as visual storytelling that engages, informs, and inspires. We're looking for a talented graphic designer who can take concepts and ideas and create visual representations, in both print and electronic media. CPPR partners with communities, government, and nonprofit organizations across the country to optimize the well-being of children, youth, and families. CPPR specializes in research and evaluation, data science projects, and social innovation work that supports our mission to optimize the well-being of children, youth, and families. CPPR primarily pursues its mission by assisting partners, including state-level and community-based organizations, in their work to secure funding, bring key stakeholders to the table, orchestrate large-scale data efforts, and conduct research, and evaluation. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about social change for good.

The successful candidate will have a thorough understanding of branding and marketing and the ability to collaborate with multiple teams across the center, taking written or spoken ideas and converting them into a design that connects.
