Graphic Designer

At Your Marketing Co., we believe if you care the best, you get the best. Caring for clients. Caring for coworkers. Caring for our business. And when we do this well, the results are engaging, empowering and transformative. The ideal candidate would have these qualities:

  • Proactive – Confident, assertive and diplomatic, our best employees are problem solvers. They are self-motivated, perform tasks with enthusiasm and efficiency, and demonstrates sound judgement. Completing assignments in a timely and accurate manner starts with demonstrating good listening skills and compassion.
  • Detail-Oriented – Establishing trust and rapport with clients and coworkers comes by being conscientious of the true meaning teamwork. Teamwork can only happen when the team has greater perspective, and that can only be gained with high-level details. Top performers at YMC take pride in proper planning and processing accuracy.
  • Organized/Time Management — At YMC, employees need to have the ability to manage multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. Working independently as well as collaboratively in a team setting is a must. Solid organization skills prevent feelings of overwhelm – both in the office and at home – and show we care for ourselves, the team, and our clients.
  • Passionate – Our people are motivated and inspired by the value proposition of their work. Collectively, as a team, we are enthusiastically helping credit unions foster real economic and social change for their communities. If we don’t love what we do, we will never achieve the goals that we set for ourselves, our company, or the credit unions we serve.
  • Communicative — We value high levels of quality communication. This means understanding the personality styles of our teammates and clients. An empathetical mindset is key to productivity, morale, and team unity. Employees are expected to speak-up, ask questions, listen intently and be respectful in-person or across communication platforms.

Is there room to advance?

We continue to grow, allowing for upward mobility and opportunities to take on leadership roles as they become available. The best opportunity for growth is by getting involved and being able to lead yourself. At YMC, your title isn’t important — initiative is.

How’s the work-life balance?

We’re constantly evolving to improve our work-life balance and be respectful of everyone’s time and boundaries. Depending on your position, work may arise outside of regular hours; however, allowing time to rest, reset, and spend time enjoying life with friends and family is a priority of YMC.

What’s the company culture like?

We’re a company of creatives who are curious about new things and constantly seeking the chance to grow. So, we facilitate an environment where people are encouraged to collaborate and learn from each other.

Why should I work at YMC?

To answer one question with another, do you want to make a difference in people’s lives while tapping into your creativity and refining your abilities? Being a part of YMC means having a real impact while also growing professionally.

Does YMC work with clients that aren’t credit unions?

Currently, no. We are a boutique marketing firm with a niche in mission-focused credit unions seeking to improve their communities. While there are plenty of community banks and institutions doing great work, our focus is on the over 4,500 credit unions that exist.

What’s the key to succeeding at YMC?

Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to ask a question! It’s easy to make a mistake in any position, but those mistakes can be avoided when you take the time to ask the necessary questions. And when a mistake is made at YMC, we welcome the chance to learn from it.

Are there any YMC traditions?

As a team, we like to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and promotions. We also celebrate holidays and annual events like Mardi Gras, National Wine Day, Christmas, etc. And of course, our weekly “Think and Drink” meetings where the whole team comes together to apply our creativity towards solving a client problem! Your drink of choice is welcome.

Any remote positions?

All of them! While headquartered in Greenville, SC, we have team members all over the world and have been completely virtual since 2021.
