Description:
This is a unique opportunity to join the BTI Studio design team and impact the client experience through creation of compelling design that supports and communicates our best practice, insight-driven content. We are looking for a self-motivated, highly creative problem solver to make information more consumable for audiences by using design (e.g., conceptual graphics and data visualizations, layouts, and illustrations) to convey client's expert guidance and tools that enable faster, smarter decisions and stronger performance on an organization's most critical priorities.
As an Associate Graphic Design Contractor, you will work closely with internal stakeholders and other designers across the in-house design team to deliver impactful and timely products and expertly apply brand and design principles to create effective content visuals that meet strategic company goals. Candidates must be proficient in Microsoft PowerPoint and should provide strong PowerPoint presentation examples in their portfolio, as most of our design work is completed in PPT.

Produce high-quality, client-ready graphics, data visualizations, and layouts for projects of lower to moderate complexity.
Consistently apply client brand and visual design principles to all content.
Create intuitively consumable visuals with minimal manager support, with an expectation of growing complexity over time.
Partner consultatively with internal stakeholders and peers.
Clearly communicate design rationale and brand principles.
Seek and provide feedback to continuously improve design solutions.
Organize and prioritize assigned projects effectively.
Utilize specified tools (e.g., CPP, ClickUp) to track timelines and communicate project expectations.
Proactively inform your manager of project progress and escalate potential roadblocks or scope changes.
Portfolio demonstrating excellent design sense and experience with visualizing content into appealing layouts, data visualizations, and conceptual graphics; portfolio must include presentations created in PPT

Ability to be a self-starter, pay strict attention to detail, and multitask across multiple projects in a fast-paced, team-based environment
