Senior Designer

About the Company Over a decade ago, lifelong friends Ray Carnes and Ron Cundy developed a dream.

Inspired by the idea of eating better, spending more time with loved ones, and doing the things they love to do, they set out to develop the highest-quality wood pellet grills on the market.

Thanks to the flavor, convenience, and versatility provided by their grills, that dream has flourished.

Now, offering more than just grills, recteq has grown to become a multi-faceted lifestyle brand with an expanding line of outdoor products.

With its new trademarked identity and armed with the same commitment to quality that has brought such success, the recteq dream is now positioned to endure, allowing future generations to spend more time with the people they love, enjoying the things they love to do.

Overview recteq is seeking a Senior Designer to elevate the creative quality and execution of our visual content across digital, social, retail, and brand channels.

This is a senior individual contributor role that reports to the Creative Director and works closely with marketing partners and the broader creative team.

This role is for a designer with strong creative instincts, refined taste, and hands-on execution skills—someone who can take a creative brief from idea to finished campaign assets with minimal oversight.

While creative direction and brand guidelines are well established, this role is expected to bring thoughtful execution, problem-solving, and occasional original concepts as the brand continues to mature and evolve.

Core design and layout execution are the primary focus of this role.

Additional support in areas such as video editing, illustration, or production may be required depending on campaign needs, but these are situational rather than defining responsibilities.
