Job Summary

We are looking to hire a full-time Associate Graphic Designer with 1+ years of experience in a client-based design agency, studio, or consultancy to join our in-house team. At iF, designers work within strategist-led project teams to create supporting documents, presentations, framework & diagram illustrations, workshop assets, and storytelling documents. While we are not a UX-centric team, we do occasionally work on front-end envisioning UX (small sites, web apps, interactive dashboards, etc.) so knowledge of creating user flows, screens, and digital experiences is a plus. We’ve also incorporated the use of AI tools to assist in image creation and content generation; applicants should be at minimum familiar with current AI models and techniques for use within design processes.

Role and Responsibilities

• Collaborate with strategist-led project teams on the design and production of client-based deliverables, including (but not limited to):
  • Graphic illustrations and image creation for storytelling decks and documents
  • Complex infographics, frameworks and data visualizations (e.g. strategic frameworks, journey maps, technical and/or process diagrams)
  • Pitch and presentation documents, slides, and reports
  • Workshop and group presentation materials (digital whiteboard assets & activities, posters, environmental graphics, etc.)
  • Light brand identity and naming (typically for smaller orgs and budgets)
• Marketing graphics for iF case studies, blog post, internal company workshops, holiday gift swag, and smaller ad-hoc projects as needed
  • Assets are mostly digital, but we do a small amount of printed deliverables throughout the year, so rudimentary print & production experience is welcomed but not required
• Work closely with the Marketing Coordinator and other members of the design team to manage and maintain existing visual design assets
• Help to revamp and templatize internal assets
• Review pre-press materials and place orders with print shops

Basic Qualifications

• 1–2 years of experience as a graphic designer within a studio, agency or in-house design team
• Strong command of typography and layout
• Proficiency with Figma (the design tool we use most frequently)
• Proficiency with Adobe Suite (primarily Photoshop & Illustrator)
• Proficiency with Google Slides, Google Docs, PowerPoint, and Word
• Experience with designing within digital whiteboard apps (e.g. Miro)
• Experience with using current AI tools such as Midjourney to create imagery and Claude for general content tasks and skill creation
• Animation/motion experience, and/or illustration skills are a plus but not required
• Excellent attention to detail
• Ability to take direction and navigate ambiguity
• Good time management and organizational skills
• Eagerness to explore and learn new skills

Please Note: this is not a UX visual design position. While iF does engage in UX work, this role will primarily be as a Graphic Designer for the deliverable types listed above.
