$25.00 - $42.00 / hour Description Silver Air is a boutique private aviation company based in Santa Barbara, managing and operating a growing fleet of ultra-luxury aircraft for a highly discerning global clientele. As we continue expanding our aircraft management portfolio and scaling our business development efforts nationwide, the visibility and quality of our brand has never been more critical. We are hiring a Creative Marketing Designer to take full ownership of how Silver Air is presented across every touchpoint — from aircraft acquisition materials and owner proposals to digital platforms, marketing campaigns, and client-facing collateral. This role sits directly alongside a rapidly growing commercial function, supporting new aircraft deals, Flight Club expansion, and ongoing brand elevation. This is not a support role and not a position for someone developing foundational skills. We are looking for a designer who already operates at a high level and can execute without hand-holding. Your work will directly support revenue-generating activity — business development materials, client presentations, and brand positioning in competitive deal environments. You will work directly with leadership and be expected to deliver high-quality work quickly, consistently, and with strong creative judgment. The pace is real. The visibility is high. The expectation is that your work is client-ready the first time. If your process relies on heavy iteration, extended timelines, or external validation to reach quality, this role will not be a fit. If you are decisive, fast, and confident in your creative standards, this is an opportunity to own and elevate a luxury brand operating in a high-growth, high-expectation environment.
