Graphic Designer

Job brief

New Media Academy is looking for a graphic designer to create engaging, on-brand graphics across a wide range of media including client-facing proposals and pitch decks that win business.

In this role you will own the full design process under the guidance of the senior graphic designer: defining requirements, conceptualizing ideas, and producing finished work. That includes illustrations, logos, layouts, and photo treatments, as well as the design of professional proposals, presentations, and sales decks that communicate our offering clearly and persuasively. You will help shape the visual identity of our digital and print materials, from social content and event branding to the documents we put in front of clients and partners.

Your work should capture attention, communicate the right message, and reflect the New Media Academy brand at every touchpoint. We are looking for someone with a strong ability to translate a brief into design, and the layout discipline to make dense information (like a proposal) feel clean and compelling.

The goal is to inspire and attract the target audience and to give our proposals a visual edge that helps close deals.
