Publicis Media is seeking an in-house Senior Graphic Designer to create high-quality work that serves the business and advances its goals.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced designer who can move comfortably between creative thinking and practical execution. The Senior Graphic Designer will work directly with the Publicis Media Chief Marketing Officer and Creative Director, while supporting senior leaders and teams across the organization.

The work will be varied. Assignments may include new-business presentations, executive communications, brand materials, digital recruiting campaigns, event creative, training materials, thought-leadership reports, internal communications, social content, short-form video, awards submissions, and agency marketing materials.

The successful candidate will be able to understand a business need, help shape the creative brief, recom

mend an approach, and deliver polished work across formats. This person should be equally comfortable developing an original concept, improving an executive presentation, extending an established visual identity, shooting and editing a short video, and preparing final materials for distribution or production.

This position is based at Publicis Media’s Chicago office at 35 West Wacker Drive and requires working in the office four days per week. Some business travel may be required, as necessary.

• Partner directly with the Chief Marketing Officer and Creative Director to translate business goals, communications needs, and creative briefs into clear and effective design.
• Develop creative concepts and carry them through execution, revision, production, and delivery.
• Design executive presentations, pitch decks, credentials materials, reports, thought-leadership pieces, event materials, recruiting campaigns, training materials, internal communications, social assets, print collateral, and other marketing content.
• Create polished, persuasive presentations for clients, prospects, employees, senior executives, and industry audiences.
• Support new-business and pitch teams, often working within tight timelines and responding to changing information.
• Develop and maintain templates, visual identity systems, toolkits, and reusable resources that improve the quality and consistency of work across Publicis Media.
• Extend existing brands thoughtfully while recognizing when an assignment calls for a new visual approach.
• Shoot and edit short-form video content, including executive interviews, event footage, internal messages, social content, and promotional videos.
• Handle essential video-production tasks, including framing, lighting, sound, editing, color correction, captions, transitions, graphics, music selection, and file preparation.
• Work with outside vendors, printers, photographers, videographers, editors, and other creative partners when needed.
• Present creative ideas clearly and explain the reasoning behind design choices.
• Listen to feedback, ask useful questions, and revise work without losing sight of the original business goal.
• Manage multiple assignments at once, establish priorities, communicate progress, and meet deadlines.
• Maintain a high standard of quality control across design, spelling, grammar, branding, accessibility, file organization, and production specifications.
