About the Role 
The nature of work often calls for outputs and deliverables that clearly articulate what is typically unspoken or unseen; things like social behaviour, belief systems, and relationships with technology. These intangibles shape human experience but often lack a vocabulary and voice. 

The primary role of a Freelance Visual Designer at Gemic is to help our consultants share their learnings and proposed solutions through visualising evidence, portraying the lives of research participants, and building explanatory models and frameworks that distil our learnings into memorable concepts and ideas. 

By applying to this role, you will be entered into our talent pool of creative freelancers to be considered for future short and long-term projects. This is a remote position and you must reside in North America (We prefer those working in Eastern Standard Time). 
 

Key responsibilities 

• Developing the visual communication of client-facing deliverables: Information design and architecture, data visualisation, and graphic presentation of various learnings, analysis and solutions. 

• Developing graphics, motion/video elements, or illustrations for the visual communication of client-facing deliverables to support our narrative and analysis. 

• Quick ideation and prototyping with multidisciplinary teams 

• Staying updated on visual design trends, tools and techniques, and seeking opportunities to apply these on Gemic's works 

 
Required skills, competencies, and experience 

• 3+ years of practical experience in your profession of choice 

• Formal education in a relevant field and a general knowledge of graphic design history and current landscape/trends 

• Strong proficiency in everyday creative tools or strong experience in handling cameras and other filmmaking gears. 

• Exceptional interpersonal, presentation and communication skills necessary to present your solutions and to build trust and respect within the team 

• Exceptional knowledge of the creative process and the ability to conduct brainstorming, prototyping and feedback sessions with interdisciplinary teams. 

• The ability to quickly and effectively communicate ideas through sketching, diagrams, or visual examples. 

• Excellent eye for detail, ambition for the quality of your work, and a constant search for excellence. 

• Being open to go beyond visual communication and helping teams in building narratives and structuring stories. 

• Being personable, open, engaging, and a good listener with the patience needed to allow for non-designers to understand design concepts
