Job Description
About Reingold Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.
We’re proud to say we’ve built a team of curious, passionate pros — from marketers and tech wizards to designers and strategists — who love what they do and bring their A-game every day.

You will shepherd design consistency, mentor junior designers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality and timely deliverables.
This role may be fully remote or involve a flexible hybrid work model that accommodates virtual and in-office collaboration.
