Responsibilities

• Shape and Evolve the Brand Visuals
• We have an established core brand system, but we need someone with exceptional taste and craft to take it to the next level and apply it across our most visible channels. This includes consistently creating new assets in a fitting and iterated style.
• You’ll act as the guardian of our public-facing visual identity. Maintain and evolve an organized design system, Figma libraries, and master templates to ensure efficiency and consistency as we grow.
• Bring Polish to a Range of Different Brand Assets
• You’ll need to be as comfortable creating illustrations from scratch as you are laying out a wireframe for a new webpage. You’ll understand the difference in touch needed for a one-pager that gets shared as a PDF versus a bar chart that accompanies our annual reports.
• We have a variety of audiences, and we often need to communicate the same info in different ways, for example when talking about the impact of a donation, we need to make a quick-to-read social media graphic, and also a technical chart to accompany a deep dive write up of a grant.
• Much of our marketing collateral (think digital brochures, reports and decks) is text and data heavy. We’re looking for someone with mastery of typography to make these materials beautiful and legible.
• Own Production From Concept to Delivery
• Take work from a brief through to final output. You’ll ensure assets are technically precise and optimized for their context. You will partner daily with the Communications & Marketing team to make sure design supports and brings to life the story as it’s intended through great information flow, impactful visuals and consistency that elevates brand recognition.
• Enhance Key Channels:

Requirements

• ~3–5 years of professional graphic/visual design experience (in-house or agency).
• Confident in designing visual assets and a native at imagining how to create them within the limitations of the different media (website, email, PDF, social etc.)
• Adobe: Expert in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Experience in Premiere or After Effects is a plus.
• Figma: Highly confident using Figma for collaborative digital design and maintaining libraries.
• Presentation Design: Skilled in crafting visually sharp presentations (Google Slides preferred).
• Website wireframing - not expected to be a fully fledged UX designer, but basic capability of speaking that language is preferred.
• Nice-to-have: Basic understanding of HTML and CSS, basic video editing skills and ability to draw illustrations.
• Previous experience in data visualization and/or infographics strongly preferred.
• Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating real-world business use cases, especially text-heavy materials, and a range of work across web, illustrative work and social.
• Location: You’ll need to be within commutable distance of London, to sit in our office 1-2 days per week (or more if you wish!). Our team is globally distributed across the UK and US, so comfort working across time zones is important.
