About the Role
We are looking for a high-agency Brand & Graphic Designer to steward and execute our visual identity across public channels. You will sit within the Product, Technology and Communications team, reporting directly to the Director of Communications & Marketing. Your role is instrumental in helping us create high-stakes marketing collateral to different audiences, improve and iterate on our website, and storytell over LinkedIn and newsletters. This is a role for a designer who loves the golden ratio, Bauhaus and details—typography, information hierarchy, and visual clarity. You’ll be able to spar and partner with our in-house UX/UI designer to make sure the visual identities in our internal products remain within a shared universe (recognizable to our members whether they are logged in or not), but you’ll be mainly responsible for our external ‘face’.

- Adapt communication of information for different audiences and mediums (e.g., social media graphics, technical charts).
- Design marketing collateral including digital brochures, reports, and decks, with a focus on typography.

- Partner with internal stakeholders on the visual execution of email communications.
- Design decks and high-quality PDFs for partners and clients, including diagrams and graphs.
- Produce compelling visual content for social media channels.
- Collaborate with Growth, Advisory, Events, Research, and Fundraising teams.
- Liaise with Product Managers and UX/UI designer to ensure cross-channel campaign visual consistency.
Requirements
- Exceptional design judgment with a focus on layout, composition, and execution.
- Understanding of restraint and structure in design.
- Comfort managing own workflow and priorities.
- Motivated by responsibility and delivering excellent work without constant oversight.
- Ability to move clearly from brief to exploration to execution.
- Ability to articulate design thinking and demonstrate how work solves communication problems.
- Confidence moving between different digital surfaces and visual challenges.
- Creative problem-solving skills.
- Pro-active communicator.
- Care about a great work atmosphere and craft.
- ~3–5 years of professional graphic/visual design experience (in-house or agency).
- Confident in designing visual assets and imagining their creation within different media limitations.
- Expert in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
- Highly confident using Figma for collaborative digital design and maintaining libraries.
- Skilled in crafting visually sharp presentations (Google Slides preferred).
- Basic capability in website wireframing.
- Previous experience in data visualization and/or infographics strongly preferred.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating real-world business use cases, especially text-heavy materials, and a range of work across web, illustrative work and social.
