Skills
- 2–4+ years as a professional illustrator, graphic designer, or product artist with sports-themed work in your portfolio
- Experience designing for physical consumer products — prints, posters, trading cards, collectibles, apparel, or packaging
- Strong illustration and composition skills; your work is dynamic, not decorative
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and digital illustration tools (Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, or equivalent)
- Solid grasp of color theory, typography, and visual hierarchy applied to product surfaces
- Ability to produce high-quality work fast — you don't sacrifice quality under deadline pressure
- Knowledge of print production and color management for physical output (or a genuine eagerness to learn)
- Deep knowledge of at least one major US sport, broad awareness across leagues
- You understand fan culture and collector behavior — you know what makes a piece of sports art iconic
- Familiarity with licensed sports imagery guidelines and approval processes
Benefits
- Remote to start; relocation to Orlando or Tampa, FL by August 2026
- Flexibility to work non-traditional hours, including evenings and weekends, to align with live sports schedules (e.g., artwork delivered Sunday morning following a Saturday night game)
