The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Toyota is hiring a Graphic Designer in Elgin, IL.

• Role description

  Step into a Graphic Designer role where Card Sorting and Illustration come together to power everything we create. Everything here scales with you — $61,000 - $93,000 at 3 years, creative ownership soon after, and a Toyota ladder above.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Spin one campaign idea into thirty platform-native cuts before lunch
  • Translate Principle research findings into a visual the whole floor can act on
  • Knead a clumsy stock photo into something that feels shot for Toyota
  • Frame the design rationale so mid-level approvers feel smart agreeing with you
  • Salvage usable frames from a shoot the weather in Elgin half-ruined
  • Reverse-engineer a competitor's hit to understand the mechanic, not copy the look

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
  • Comfort presenting to an IL-wide audience without a script
  • Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
  • 3 years of User Personas práctica, plus a hunger for what's next

  Toyota is a craft-focused Elgin, IL firm where Presentation Skills isn't a department but the entire reason the lights stay on. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Illustration work, not the human behind it.

  We back our team with $61,000 - $93,000, equity, top-tier health benefits, and the flexibility to work where you do your best thinking.

  This Elgin, IL opening is current, active, and reviewing folks now.

  The candidates who apply early at Toyota are the ones we remember, so be early.
