This is a high-growth opportunity for an ambitious creative who wants their work seen at scale on a team dedicated to craft, experimentation, and continuous education. You'll bring sophisticated visual taste, a discerning eye for packaging, genuine empathy for the user, and a meticulous attention to detail.

- Uphold both Forbes' editorial standards and each client's brand guidelines, balancing creative ambition with practical execution across multiple concurrent projects.
- Social
- Design and produce engaging, platform-native social content, including carousels, GIFs, motion graphics, and short-form video, tailored to the conventions and audiences of each channel.
- Develop social-first concepts that extend premium campaigns and stand on their own, keeping pace with fast-moving formats and trends.
- Use social performance data and audience behavior to inform creative decisions, iterate on what's working, and continually sharpen engagement.
- Pre-Sale & Pitch Work
- Create polished pre-sale mockups and concept designs that help bring proposals to life and win new business.
- Help shape and evolve a library of templates and reusable assets that raise the quality and speed of pre-sale work.
- Live Events Design content recaps, highlight assets, and supporting graphics that capture the energy of
Forbes' live events and extend their reach across platforms.
- Organization, Communication & Tools
- Manage your own workload across competing priorities and consistently meet deadlines without sacrificing craft.
- Explore and adopt new tools and technologies, including AI-assisted design workflows, to elevate creativity, accelerate production, and push the team's capabilities forward.
- Contribute to and help lead working sessions, brainstorms, and reviews with fellow designers and collaborators across Forbes at all levels of seniority.
- Give and receive constructive feedback, helping to raise the creative quality of the work across the team.
The Ideal Candidate:
- 3+ years of experience in digital/interaction design. Experience in editorial, branded content, or agency environments is a plus.

- Strong visual communication skills with a keen eye for layout, hierarchy, typography, and color.
- Experience designing for social platforms, with familiarity with platform-specific best practices.
- Proficiency in motion design.
- Comfort with fast-turnaround, pitch-oriented work.
- Proficiency in tools such as Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite.
- Clear thinking and strong written and verbal communication.
- A nimble, flexible, solutions-oriented mindset.
- World-class attention to detail.
