Graphic Designer

Job Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced Graphic Designer to support visual storytelling across internal communications, marketing and business development. This role will shape how our people experience the firm—from executive messaging and firmwide initiatives to culture, talent, and change communications—and how our clients experience the firm—from the website to social media, events and presentations. The ideal candidate brings strong design sensibility, deep brand stewardship, and a sophisticated understanding of professional services environments.

Key Responsibilities
Design high‑quality assets across digital and print channels, including presentations, infographics, email, newsletters, website and intranet content, executive reports, digital signage, and internal collateral. Translate complex legal, business, and consulting concepts into clear, visually compelling materials for diverse internal audiences.

Conceptualize and execute engaging visual solutions for firmwide and practice‑level communications, including leadership messages, strategic initiatives, DEI programs, training, technology communications, talent communications, and internal campaigns. Serve as a visual thought partner to internal stakeholders, recommending creative approaches that elevate clarity, engagement, and impact.

Ensure all communications align with firm brand standards, tone, and visual identity while evolving the look and feel to keep content modern and engaging. Maintain and refine internal design templates and toolkits to promote consistency and efficiency across teams.

Partner closely with senior leadership and executive communications teams to produce polished, presentation‑ready materials for firm meetings, town halls, retreats, and strategic updates. Exercise discretion and sound judgment when handling sensitive or confidential information.

Collaborate with communications, marketing, business development, business professionals, firm leadership and external vendors as needed to deliver integrated solutions. Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing speed, accuracy, and creative excellence in a deadline‑driven environment.

Strong communication and collaboration skills; comfortable working with senior leaders and cross‑functional teams.

Highly organized, proactive, and adept at managing competing priorities.

High degree of professionalism, discretion, and integrity.
