You will produce charts, diagrams, and visuals from rough content, manage slide masters, and ensure standards across briefing cycles.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in graphic design, information or communication design, data visualization, statistics, journalism, or a related field; demonstrated equivalent skill accepted.
• 1–3 years of relevant experience; entry level encouraged.
• Advanced PowerPoint proficiency including slide masters, layouts, alignment and distribution tools, merge shapes, and vector editing.
• Ability to build charts from raw data in Excel, including pivot tables and formatting beyond default.
• Working knowledge of visual design fundamentals: grid, typography, contrast, negative space, color restraint.
• Ability to transform disorganized material into a coherent visual argument with limited supervision.
• Proficiency with Power BI, Tableau, or Advana for briefing figures (not dashboards).
• Adobe Illustrator and InDesign for figure production and document layout.
• Familiarity with Navy or DOD briefing conventions, classification and CUI markings.
• Ability to produce explanatory graphics for technical subjects and basic scripting (Python or VBA) for repetitive chart production.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain PowerPoint products for decision briefs, governance forums, program reviews, and headquarters engagements from rough content.
• Design charts, tables, timelines, organizational views, and process diagrams to show data at a glance.
• Rebuild inherited slides to be visually readable, with reduced text density and consistent visual grammar.
• Own slide masters, layouts, color and type systems, and reusable components across briefing cycles.
• Produce graphic elements for data presentation, including icons, callouts, annotations, and modular diagrams.
• Apply corporate and government templates, document markings, and accessibility requirements including color contrast and colorblind-safe palettes.
• Maintain version control and traceability so figures tie back to data and numbers propagate correctly.
• Hold quality under compressed timelines with late tasks and upcoming deadlines.
