Job Summary
Citi's Creative and Media Services team is looking for a designer who lives for the big moment - someone who gets genuinely excited when the stakes are highest and the whole firm is watching. In this role you will support the design and production of high-quality presentations, event visuals, and live experience content that support Citi's most visible communications - from investor days and leadership forums to firmwide town halls and executive events. The VP, Experiential Design will work closely with production, editorial, and communications partners to ensure that every moment - on screen, on stage, or in a room - is visually compelling, brand-consistent, and purpose-built for its audience. The ideal candidate is a skilled visual communicator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and understands that great design in a live or high-stakes context requires equal parts craft, precision, and adaptability.

• Partner closely with the VP, Lead Designer, and SVP, Creative Lead to ensure visual design is fully integrated into the creative and production approach for each event or experience.

• Advise on emerging tools, platforms, and design approaches for presentation and live event content - including AI-assisted design tools - that can improve quality, efficiency, or creative impact.

• Support post-event asset adaptation, ensuring key visual elements are versioned and archived for future use across channels.

• Appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, demonstrating particular consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients and assets, by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, adhering to Policy, applying sound ethical judgment regarding personal behavior, conduct and business practices, and escalating, managing and reporting control issues with transparency, as well as effectively supervise the activity of others and create accountability with those who fail to maintain these standards.

• Significant experience in presentation design, event visual production, or experiential design in a studio, agency, broadcast, or in-house creative environment.

• Ability to manage multiple high-priority design projects simultaneously, with a calm and organized approach under deadline pressure.

• Experience and an active interest in AI-assisted design tools and emerging presentation and event technology platforms.
