Creative Technologist, Interactive Media and Motion Graphics

Visual Capitalist is on a mission to 'Make the World’s Data More Accessible'. We started out in 2011 with the belief that art, data, and storytelling can be combined to make complex issues more digestible. Using infographics, data visualizations and charts, we create visually-intuitive content on business, investing, technology, and more.
Over 15 years later, we’re now a leading digital media company with:
20M+ monthly site visitors
287k+ email subscribers
2M+ social followers
Our work is seen and shared regularly by senior leaders including Liz Ann Sonders (CIO Charles Schwab), Tim Ferriss (best-selling author/podcaster), Michael Dell (Founder of Dell) and Steve Case (Founder of AOL) . In addition, we are regular contributors to the World Economic Forum, Business Insider, Zero Hedge, Market Watch, and CNBC and our clients include Goldman Sachs, Black Rock, Gucci, The World Bank, New York Life, MSCI, Teck Resources, and many more.
About the Role  We’re looking for a Creative Technologist, specializing in Interactive Media and Motion Graphics to join Visual Capitalist’s Brand Solutions team.
We’re looking for someone who can work closely with content experts and strategists to turn data into clear, compelling, and online interactive visual stories and motion graphics for major global brands. If your passion sits outside data-driven storytelling, this role likely won’t feel like home.
You’re inspired by Visual Capitalist’s content and love exploring new ideas quickly—whether that’s sketching out concepts, or using AI tools to iterate quickly. For you design isn’t just a licence for Adobe Creative Suite, it’s a way of thinking and solving problems for your clients. You’re a team player, who loves collaborating with other designers, content specialists, art directors, and campaign managers.

You are unflappable under pressure—you know what I’m cooking—and thrive in a demanding production environment where a day without a deadline is a day without sunshine.

Key Responsibilities    Collaborate closely with writers, strategists, campaign managers, and other creatives  to bring data-driven stories and campaigns to life for the Visual Capitalist audience across a range of formats.
Consult with clients on visual storytelling and design best practices,  guide them on what works and what doesn’t, and advocate for strong storytelling and design.
Mentor emerging dataviz designers  by sharing your experience, offering feedback, and modeling creative excellence.
Contribute actively to Creative Thursdays, project meetings, and debriefs,  sharing inspiration and insights while staying current with best practices.
Manage multiple projects and deadlines with calm efficiency,  taking work from initial concept to final execution on time and to a high standard, incorporating feedback along the way.
Requirements  You are a fantastic fit for this role if you can identify with these traits and skills:

Experience:

3–5 years professional experience as a graphic designer, with specific experience developing interactive media and motion graphics for data visualizations. Creative agency background, industry credentials (RGD, Des Can, AIGA), and/or prior experience in digital media are definite assets.
Creative instincts:  You bring a strong visual point of view, a steady flow of ideas, and a sharp eye for detail. You understand the narrative behind the data and know how to elevate it visually. You gather inspiration, think in stories, and translate concepts into clear, compelling designs. Animation experience is a bonus.
Team player:  a strong track-record of working as part of a creative team, including with writers, strategists, and campaign managers, and (for senior levels) past experience mentoring junior creatives.
