Your Role

At Gensler, design is not just what we do-it's who we are. We're looking for a highly creative and strategic designer to partner with our Regional Managing Principal (RMP) team in shaping impactful presentation decks and communication materials.

What You Will Do

• Collaborate directly with Regional Managing Principals to design and deliver high-impact presentation decks, reports, and branded communications that connect strategy to story.
• Conduct research and gather context to understand the organizational, cultural, and business drivers behind each project.
• Translate abstract concepts into thoughtful, documented design solutions that resonate with diverse audiences-generating multiple initial ideas and refining through collaboration and feedback.
• Integrate messaging, imagery, typography, and composition to build brand-forward materials across print, digital, and presentation platforms.
• Prepare polished, production-ready artwork and documentation for presentations and collateral.
• Contribute to all phases of communication design, from concepting, design development, refinement, through to finalization.
• Handle all communications and materials with a high level of confidentiality, discretion, and sensitivity.
• Beyond supporting the RMP team, collaborate with HR, Finance, Marketing, and Talent Development to bring clarity and creativity to internal initiatives, while prioritizing RMP projects and initiatives.
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of architects, designers, and business leaders, balancing input and ensuring clarity and alignment with Gensler's brand voice.

Expectations

• Deliver thoughtful, creative, and sophisticated communications and design solutions that meet expectations for quality, timeliness, and impact.
• Build trusted relationships with leaders and colleagues across the firm.
• Engage with curiosity and collaboration-ask questions, seek input, and draw inspiration from Gensler's diverse portfolio of work.
• Trusted to manage sensitive information with discretion, maintaining a high level of confidentiality.
• Represent Gensler's One-Firm-Firm values: collaboration, entrepreneurial spirit, client focus, ethics, and fun.
• Contribute to our culture of creativity and design excellence, elevating both the message and the medium.

Your Qualifications

• Hands-on designer and storyteller with a strong visual eye and a passion for crafting compelling narratives.
• Confident communicator who can simplify complex ideas into clear, powerful visual and verbal messages.
• Flexible and thoughtful; able to view challenges from multiple perspectives and adapt designs accordingly.
• Collaborative partner who values feedback, iteration, and collective design excellence over ego.
• Strong time management skills; able to prioritize executive deliverables while managing parallel team projects.
• Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop), PowerPoint/Keynote, and MS Office.
• Familiarity with motion graphics, video editing, or interactive design a plus.
• 8-13 years of relevant experience.

To be considered, please submit your resume along with a portfolio that showcases your ability to translate information into thoughtful, compelling design solutions.
