Job description

Job Description

As a multi-disciplined creative, you are a highly conceptual visual thinker and detailed in the execution of ideas, from cradle to completion. You're capable of creating gorgeous, innovative work, but you can think strategically, scaling ideas holistically across a diverse range of applications and platforms. You know how to build a brand system and how to break new ground within one. You've created work for both digital and print, and you understand what it takes to bring a design all the way through to production. You have a strong command of typography, color, and composition, and you integrate photography and visual storytelling naturally into your work. TED is a seriously collaborative environment — you're ready to lead as the visionary on a project and assist a teammate in the execution of theirs. No task is too big or too small. You are committed to the health of the team as a whole. This position reports to the Design Director.

Role and responsibilities

• Fluently work within TED Brand Creative's concept-focused and strategic-minded design process
• Create impactful and thoughtful concepts, experiences, designs, and identities that bring the TED brand and its numerous products and initiatives to life across a wide range of touchpoints
• Design at an extremely high level and provide a strong creative point of view
• Concept and execute identities and brand systems for original video series, podcasts, conferences, and initiatives
• Extend design systems for events to cover environmental graphics, books, stage design, digital marketing, social media, screen environments, templated signage, merch and more
• Create original artworks for TED's editorial channels
• Own print production from layout through vendor handoff — including large-format signage, conference materials, and print-ready files
• Present designs and concepts with clarity and conviction
• Seek out, receive, and apply feedback in order to push your and the team’s work further — and know how to provide constructive feedback to other team members

Qualifications

• 3+ years of graphic design experience
• NYC-based preferred. TED is headquartered in New York City.
• A broad range of interests. You live and breathe graphic design but bring other skills to the table — illustration, motion, photography, 3D, other creative endeavors valued
• Expert fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud, with working knowledge of designing for print — InDesign and Photoshop especially. You can prep files and work with vendors to get the output right. If you're still building this print muscle, you’re able to learn fast and own it
• Expertise in Figma is a must — and working knowledge of digital design systems a significant plus
• Experience designing marketing assets — email, social, display, web — is also a plus
• Strong organizational skills, from concept through delivery of mechanicals
• Flexibility. TED is a fast-paced environment, and we jump quickly from project to project. You can keep up and thrive off the energy of working on something new.
• A deeply curious mind. You are culturally engaged and proactively exploring new technologies and trends within the design world
