Job Description:

• Senior-level Graphic Designer III role requiring 5+ years of experience and the ability to ramp up quickly.
• Strong PowerPoint presentation design skills are mandatory; candidates must submit portfolios with high-quality PPT samples.
• Designers will work directly with analysts on conference presentations, so strong communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential.
• Experience creating executive, consulting, or conference presentations is highly preferred.
• Candidates must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with evolving content and be able to prioritize high-impact design work.
• 100% remote role; candidates working US ET/CT hours are preferred, but flexibility is available for strong candidates.

This is a unique opportunity to join the Studio design team and impact the client experience through creation of compelling design that supports and communicates our best practice, insight-driven content. We are looking for a self-motivated, highly creative problem solver to make information more consumable for audiences by using design (e.g., conceptual graphics and data visualizations, layouts, and illustrations) to convey expert guidance and tools that enable faster, smarter decisions and stronger performance on an organization’s most critical priorities. As a Graphic Design Contactor, you will work closely with internal stakeholders and other designers across the in-house design team to deliver impactful and timely products and expertly apply brand and design principles to create effective content visuals that meet strategic company goals. Candidates must be proficient in Microsoft PowerPoint with a focus on presentation design and should provide strong PowerPoint presentation examples in their portfolio, as most of our design work is completed in PPT.

• Use effective visual communication skills and best practices to meet and exceed content requirements while partnering with stakeholders.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, working with Project Managers to develop, monitor, manage, and revise project scope documents, timelines, and processes
• Mitigate risk on projects by creating contingency plans and recommending solutions, proactively engaging in problem solving

• Portfolio demonstrating excellent design sense and/or experience with formatting content into visually appealing layouts, data visualizations, and infographics; portfolio must include presentations created in PPT
• Possession of excellent oral and written skills, including communicating presentations to internal and external professionals at all levels
• Ability to be a self-starter, pay strict attention to detail, and multitask across multiple projects in a fast-paced, team-based environment
• Comfortable designing in a team environment but also working independently.
• Experience with reading, understanding, and developing visualizations from complex data.
• Experience with visual and digital storytelling, presentations, and user-centered design
