Job description

McGarity Consulting Group is a learning and organizational development firm headquartered in Chicago. Our clients include government agencies, regulated industries, and mission-driven organizations that build workforce capability—from instructional design and e-learning to coaching, facilitation, and change management.

We are seeking to add graphic design contractors to our bench in anticipation of increased client demand.

Core design skills (required)

• Adobe Creative Cloud: Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign at an advanced level
• Visual design basics: layout, typography, color theory, hierarchy and grid systems
• Building and applying brand guidelines, including working inside a client's style guide
• Icons, infographics and data visualization that turn technical content into simple visuals
• Print and digital production: export settings, file prep and version control

eLearning and instructional graphics (required)

• Graphics for Articulate Storyline: slide backgrounds, character poses, buttons, states and layers
• Familiarity with Absorb Create and Rise (preferred)
• Ability to read a storyboard and turn it into finished screens with the instructional designers
• Visuals for technical and process content, such as equipment diagrams, workflows and annotated photos (useful for the Exxon analyzer-type courses)
• Basic motion graphics or animation in After Effects or Vyond (preferred)

Accessibility (required)

• Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA design rules: color contrast, not relying on color alone, readable fonts and alt-text-ready graphics
• Creating accessible PDFs from InDesign (tagging and reading order), or working with Diana on remediation
• Designing for screen readers and keyboard navigation in eLearning

Collaboration and process (required)

• Taking structured feedback from SMEs, clients and the PM, and managing review rounds
• File organization and naming that fits the team's handoff process
• Comfort with remote collaboration tools such as Teams, SharePoint and Review 360
• Working knowledge of Figma or Canva for quick mockups (nice to have)

Proposals and business development exposure (preferred)

• Layouts for proposals and capability statements, plus RFP response formatting under strict page and font limits
• Templates for Word and PowerPoint that non-designers can maintain
• Covers, org charts, process graphics and past-performance one-pagers
• Working quickly under fixed submission deadlines

Nice to have

• Experience in federal or government contracting
• Video editing in Premiere Pro or Camtasia
• AI image tools such as Firefly, used responsibly and with an eye on licensing

Please include a portfolio that includes eLearning samples or a Storyline project, at least one infographic or technical diagram, a proposal or long-form layout, and evidence of accessible design.

This is a remote position.
