The Role

You'll own how Synthesia shows up in every physical moment around the world, from global events and workspaces to the digital experiences that surround them.

• Strong craft in typography and layout, and in translating brand across physical, digital and motion

• Fluency in Figma, with the ability to produce production-ready files in Adobe Illustrator
