The Sr Associate, New Business, Visual Designer will bring a passion for storytelling and a sharp eye for design to join our New Business Team. In this role, you won't just make things look good; you'll help ideas come alive. You'll transform complex strategies into compelling visual narratives that captivate potential clients and bring content to life.
You'll work closely with strategists, planners, and business leaders to develop presentations, proposals, and case studies that clearly communicate ideas and strategies. From concept to execution, you'll shape the visual identity of our new business efforts, ensuring every touchpoint is engaging, polished, and on-brand.
This is a role for a designer who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and loves the challenge of turning abstract ideas into bold, beautiful visuals that win hearts and business.

  • Design with purpose using PowerPoint, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and other tools to create high-impact visuals that resonate with clients.
  • Lead the visual development of RFPs, proposals, and case studies-tailoring each to the prospect's brand, tone, and business needs.
  • Manage timelines and workflows for multiple concurrent projects, ensuring on-time delivery without compromising quality.
  • Iterate quickly and thoughtfully based on feedback from internal stakeholders, always pushing for stronger, smarter design.
  • Maintain and evolve templates, icon libraries, and visual systems to streamline future work and elevate the team's creative output.
  • Stay ahead of design trends and bring fresh thinking to how we present our work and our agency.
  • Contribute to a culture of creativity and excellence, offering feedback, inspiration, and support to teammates across disciplines.

Job Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Media Arts, or a related field-or equivalent professional experience.

Experience:
  • 0-2 years of professional experience in visual design, presentation design, or a related creative field.

A portfolio that demonstrates strong visual storytelling, layout, and presentation design skills is required.
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
  • Business level proficiency in English - both written and oral communication.
  • Proficiency in PowerPoint and a strong understanding of presentation design principles.
  • Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop); familiarity with Figma or similar tools is a plus.
  • Strong visual storytelling skills-able to translate abstract ideas into clear, engaging visuals.
  • Excellent attention to detail, layout, typography, and brand consistency.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and timelines in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills-you're comfortable giving and receiving feedback.
  • A proactive, curious mindset with a desire to learn, grow, and contribute creatively to a team.
