Visual Branding & Design Specialist

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on visual design specialist who can translate complex, abstract concepts into polished, professional visual assets, primarily in Microsoft PowerPoint and Word. This is an execution-focused role: you will work closely with project leads and stakeholders to rapidly turn ideas into clean, compelling visuals that communicate clearly and uphold rigorous brand standards.

The ideal candidate is a Microsoft Office power user who thrives on fast iteration, welcomes early feedback, and takes pride in delivering send-ready work with speed and consistency.

Bilingual (English/French) candidates are highly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Visual Execution & Asset Production
  • Transform complex ideas, data, and written content into clear, visually engaging PowerPoint decks, reports, and Word documents.
  • Produce infographics, visual summaries, and other assets that distill abstract or technical concepts for diverse audiences.
  • Work iteratively to develop quick proof-of-concept drafts, sense-checking with project leads and stakeholders, and refining approved concepts into polished, send-ready deliverables.
  • Maintain a rapid turnaround cadence: initial concepts and options within hours, with polished final versions delivered shortly after feedback.

• Brand Development & Stewardship
  • Establish, document, and rigorously uphold branding elements (color palette, typography, layout standards) across all visual assets.
  • Audit and align existing materials to a unified style guide that reflects the client’s visual standards.
  • Ensure every deliverable, from a single slide to a full report, is consistent in look, feel, and quality.

• Data Visualization
  • Transform complex data into accessible, visually engaging reports and dashboards.
  • Highlight key metrics, trends, and progress in a way that supports decision-making and engagement.

• Stakeholder Collaboration & Feedback Integration
  • Partner with project leads and internal team members to understand intent and translate direction into visuals.
  • Proactively ask clarifying questions and seek early feedback on concepts before investing in fully polished versions.
  • Adapt quickly to input and pivot designs in real time during discussions or working sessions.

• Microsoft Office Mastery
  • Leverage advanced PowerPoint capabilities (custom templates, master slides, animations, smart layouts) to maximize visual impact within platform constraints.
  • Create professional, well-structured Word documents with consistent formatting, styles, and visual elements.
  • Use AI tools where appropriate to accelerate content creation, while maintaining professional design standards.

• Team Contribution
  • Operate as a collaborative team member who understands the broader context of the work, contributing ideas and perspective beyond design tasks alone.
  • Support the team with a big-picture, problem-solving mindset.
  • Maintain high productivity and accountability in a remote or hybrid work environment.

What Success Looks Like

• Stakeholders receive initial visual concepts within hours of a briefing, with polished deliverables following shortly after feedback.
• All assets are visually consistent and brand-compliant without requiring reminders or rework.
• You ask questions early, surfacing ambiguity, validating direction, and iterating efficiently rather than over-investing in a first design pass.
• Team members and project leads describe you as someone who “gets it”. You understand the substance of the work, not just the aesthetics.
• You are trusted to take a rough concept from a whiteboard or conversation and deliver a polished, client-ready asset.

Essential Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience & Skills
  • 5+ years in graphic design, branding, or visual communications, preferably within large-scale consulting project environments.

  • Demonstrated proficiency with whiteboarding tools and template development (Mural).
  • Proven track record of producing visual reports and data dashboards.
  • Excellent communication skills, inquisitiveness, and openness to feedback.

  • Highly collaborative, responsive, and adaptable to changing priorities.
  • Strong attention to detail, with an understanding of how design supports strategic messaging.
  • Self-motivated, disciplined, and able to work productively in remote settings.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with large institutional clients in consulting, change management, or professional services environments.
