  • Experience working in nonprofit, advocacy, or policy-related design environments
  • Ability to synthesise complex topics into clean, engaging visuals
  • Familiarity with accessibility best practices for digital content
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to juggle multiple requests
  • Comfortable receiving and giving feedback in a collaborative setting
  • Tools & Platforms

  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) or Figma
  • Experience with Canva Pro or other quick-turn design tools
  • Familiarity with project coordination tools like Trello
  • Light animation or motion graphics experience is a plus
  • Basic understanding of WordPress asset integration is helpful but not required
  • Benefits
