Senior Graphic Designer Job at Monster Energy – Corona, CA

Monster Energy is hiring a Senior Graphic Designer to work across its full brand portfolio, based in Corona, California, with pay ranging from $87,276 to $120,000 a year. This is a senior-level, hands-on design role — you'd be producing large-scale marketing collateral, packaging, and point-of-sale materials that carry real visibility, not internal-only assets.

One requirement worth flagging before you spend time applying: only applicants with a portfolio will be considered. If you don't have one ready to share, it's worth pulling together before you submit anything else.

About Monster Energy

Monster Energy positions itself around a deliberately unconventional brand identity — closely tied to its roster of sponsored athletes and its presence in action sports, music, and gaming culture. The company describes its culture as raw and unfiltered rather than corporate-polished, which is worth keeping in mind when tailoring a portfolio and application to the role.

What the Role Involves

• Developing and producing large, highly visible marketing collateral, advertising, and promotional materials — including product sales sheets, point-of-sale displays, vehicle wraps, and packaging
• Working with art directors and sales/marketing staff to conceptualize and produce creative solutions that meet business needs
• Managing design projects end-to-end, from concept through final delivery, on schedule
• Designing and producing on-brand packaging, print, and point-of-sale solutions across Monster's brand family
• Delegating production work as needed and communicating deadlines clearly to traffic managers, including handling urgent "rush jobs"
• Translating strategic objectives into visual designs that stay consistent across platforms and materials
• Maintaining graphic standards and improving production team efficiency
• Providing creative direction and mentorship to junior designers
• Building and maintaining a library of brand assets — templates, icons, style guides
• Staying current on design trends, techniques, and software

Who Fits This Role

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Fine Arts, or a related field — equivalent technical trade experience also considered
• 5+ years of print graphic design experience with large consumer/lifestyle brands
• 3–5 years of experience with design software and web design tools
• High proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• A portfolio is mandatory — applications without one won't be considered

Pay and Contract Details

• Pay: $87,276–$120,000 USD annually — actual compensation depends on skills, qualifications, experience, and work location
• Location: Corona, CA, United States
• Visa/work authorization note: the listing references several existing US work authorization categories it can accept applicants under (H-1B, TN, O-1, E-3, F-1/OPT, STEM OPT, or AOS Portability). This reads as an intake field for candidates who already hold one of these statuses, rather than a commitment to sponsor a new visa from scratch — worth confirming directly with Monster Energy's recruitment team if visa status applies to your situation.

Equal Opportunity

Monster Energy states it is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and notes its obligation to inform applicants of their rights under federal employment law, including protections for veterans and individuals with disabilities.

How to Apply

Given the seniority of this role and the mandatory portfolio requirement, it's worth taking the time to tailor your application and portfolio specifically to Monster's brand style rather than sending a generic submission.
