Position Overview

We are seeking a creative, hands-on Multimedia Designer to play a central role in elevating how GMO communicates ideas and insights through video and multimedia. This role combines video production and post-production, on-location and in-studio shooting, and graphic design for marketing and advertising materials across print and digital channels.

The ideal candidate is both technically skilled and creatively driven-someone who is comfortable behind the camera, in the edit suite, and collaborating with marketers to bring ideas to life across channels.

The Multimedia Designer will report to the Head of Digital, Design and Content Development and operate as part of highly collaborative Digital, Design, and Content teams. He or she will work closely with the Lead Designer to ensure all creative output aligns with GMO's brand standards and visual direction and is effectively executed across video, motion, digital platforms, and content. While the role includes design and digital support, video production and motion content are the primary focus of this position.

• Translate stakeholder needs into thoughtful, high-impact visual solutions.

• Ensure all creative output aligns with brand guidelines and visual standards, across formats and applications.
• Develop and maintain reusable motion templates (openers, lower thirds, title cards) to enhance video content.

• Support website publishing and email template design for marketing campaigns.

Collaboration & Project Management

• Work closely with marketing stakeholders to understand objectives, timelines, and audience needs.
• Partner closely with the Lead Designer to translate brand standards into motion and multimedia applications, ensuring consistency and quality across all deliverables.
• Manage multiple creative projects simultaneously while meeting deadlines.
