Job description

About GEMIC
Gemic is a global business strategy and innovation consultancy aimed at helping leading corporations and institutions create sustainable growth through a richer understanding of the emerging shifts in culture, business, and technology via a human-centered approach.
We currently have 4 distinct practices within our organisation that focus our offerings in specific "hubs," building expertise and growing clients in each area: Societal Impact, Social Tech, Brand-led Growth, and Health.
Our teams are made up of anthropologists, philosophers, economists, sociologists, political scientists, and futurists working together through research and strategy to develop design-led solutions.
List of Roles/Areas of Expertise we are looking for:
Visual/Graphic Designers
Presentation Designers
Video Editors
Filmmakers
Motion Designers
Illustrators
3D Designers
About the Role
The nature of work often calls for outputs and deliverables that clearly articulate what is typically unspoken or unseen; things like social behaviour, belief systems, and relationships with technology. These intangibles shape human experience but often lack a vocabulary and voice.
The primary role of a Freelance Visual Designer at Gemic is to help our consultants share their learnings and proposed solutions through visualising evidence, portraying the lives of research participants, and building explanatory models and frameworks that distil our learnings into memorable concepts and ideas.
By applying to this role, you will be entered into our talent pool of creative freelancers to be considered for future short and long-term projects. This is a remote position and you must reside in North America (We prefer those working in Eastern Standard Time).
Key responsibilities
  • Developing the visual communication of client-facing deliverables: Information design and architecture, data visualisation, and graphic presentation of various learnings, analysis and solutions.
  • Developing graphics, motion/video elements, or illustrations for the visual communication of client-facing deliverables to support our narrative and analysis.
  • Quick ideation and prototyping with multidisciplinary teams
  • Staying updated on visual design trends, tools and techniques, and seeking opportunities to apply these on Gemic's works

Required skills, competencies, and experience
  • 3+ years of practical experience in your profession of choice
  • Formal education in a relevant field and a general knowledge of graphic design history and current landscape/trends
  • Strong proficiency in everyday creative tools or strong experience in handling cameras and other filmmaking gears.
  • Exceptional interpersonal, presentation and communication skills necessary to present your solutions and to build trust and respect within the team
  • Exceptional knowledge of the creative process and the ability to conduct brainstorming, prototyping and feedback sessions with interdisciplinary teams.
  • The ability to quickly and effectively communicate ideas through sketching, diagrams, or visual examples.
  • Excellent eye for detail, ambition for the quality of your work, and a constant search for excellence.
  • Being open to go beyond visual communication and helping teams in building narratives and structuring stories.
  • Being personable, open, engaging, and a good listener with the patience needed to allow for non-designers to understand design concepts

How to Apply
Submit your CV and portfolio.
Please be sure to include your availability and rates in your application.
