Reporting to the director of multimedia content production, this role will focus heavily on designing impactful graphical design deliverables for published reports, event presentations, and compelling data visualizations that transform Forrester's cutting-edge research into clear, engaging visuals. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with analysts, researchers, and consultants, working largely behind the paywall to support research-driven deliverables with a heavy use of PowerPoint. Additionally, this individual will contribute to designing keynote event presentations for global event cycles and occasionally support marketing efforts on an ad-hoc basis. The environment emphasizes teamwork, a positive spirit, and a supportive culture, with opportunities to apply motion graphics skills, familiarity with genAI, and tools like Canva.

  • Contribute to the design of keynote event presentations for Forrester's global event cycles.
  • Provide design support for marketing initiatives as needed, including the creation of campaign assets and promotional collateral.
  • Maintain consistency with Forrester's visual brand identity across all project deliverables.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in graphic design or equivalent professional experience, with more than two years of relevant work experience in an agency or in-house design team.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with interdisciplinary teams, including offshore teams.
  • Advanced skills in designing polished PowerPoint presentations and creating effective data visualizations.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and PowerPoint; familiarity with Canva, motion graphics tools (e.g., After Effects), and genAI is a bonus.
  • Strong typography, layout design, and ability to create cohesive visual systems with a modern aesthetic that follows Forrester's brand standards.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, excellent time management, and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Proactive and flexible approach to problem-solving in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with generative AI (genAI).
  • Experience with motion graphics tools such as After Effects.

Qualifications

  • Join a fun, creative multimedia and graphics team that values collaboration, innovation, and a strong team-oriented mindset.
