London, United Kingdom International Institute for Strategic Studies Full time

Location : London
Contract : Permanent
Hours : Full time

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is a world-leading research organisation that provides independent, objective information on military, geopolitical and geo-economic developments that could lead to conflict.

An opportunity has arisen for a Digital Graphics Designer to join the Design team at its London headquarters. This position will report to the Head of Design.
Role description The successful candidate will bring design know-how and creativity to our graphics across all digital channels: producing interactive website graphics; bringing innovation to graphics and animations for our online data platforms; and creating digital graphic designs for our flagship publications that tell compelling stories – from agenda-setting geopolitical statistics to military hardware schematics.

We seek a skilled visual storyteller with a strong track record and keen understanding of maps and data. You will also have to design with motion in mind – working with coders who can bring this to life – but animation expertise of your own would be highly desirable.

Candidates must be experienced and show evidence of a strong background in digital design. You will demonstrate a prowess for creative visual solutions while adhering to brand guidelines. If you are ready to influence some of the world’s largest organisations and governments, as well as world renowned journalists and academics – we want to hear from you.
What you will be doing
  • Working with researchers to develop stimulating graphics - turning text blogs into arresting visual content.
  • Transforming complex data sets into visually exciting and interactive content for mobile, tablets and desktops.
  • Guiding and educating research staff to understand how visualisation of data can help them effectively communicate their insights and analysis to key audiences.
  • Mining our rich databases to find raw statistics you can tap into – bringing this date to life using graphs, charts and maps.
  • Working with our comms team to create content to use across our social media channels.
  • Collaborating with in-house teams to create and develop online data visualisation products.
  • Developing on our digital style guide to ensure our online presence is visually cohesive.
  • Working with our in-house design team to ensure there is continuity between our print and digital output.
  • Working with our flagship database Military Balance Plus to proactively connect with its audience.
  • Own creative direction on social platforms both organic and paid.
  • Continuously seek to stay up-to-date with the latest digital design trends and technologies.
Requirements – essential
  • Degree or equivalent qualification in design - digital, graphic or product.
  • Excellent knowledge and experience using Adobe Creative Suite (AfterEffects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator).
  • Strong skills in storyboarding creative narratives, producing proof of concept visuals, layout, typography, and infographic creation demonstrated through your portfolio.
  • A thorough understanding of social media platforms and their visual language.
  • Portfolio showing sharp, clean approaches to animation and data visualisation across different devices.
  • Design experience implementing 'digital-first' solutions from start to end.
  • Comfortable experimenting with and learning how to use new software and other tools.
Requirements – desirable
  • Previous experience working for clients in the political, government, or non-profit sector and an interest in and understanding of security and geopolitical issues.
  • Skills and passion to work with existing in-house print designers and in-house data development/html coding role.
  • An understanding of designing for new digital projects, working with in-house teams on UI and producing relevant digital assets.
Application Candidates should submit their application by pressing the blue ‘apply now’ button on the left-hand side of the and following the instructions to submit:

  • a full Curriculum Vitae (resume) including a link to portfolio that includes examples of infographics, animated graphs or charts or anything else that demonstrates your ability to bring data to life.
  • a cover letter outlining what skills and experience you can bring to the role.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 18 February .

Candidates must have eligibility to work in the UK. The IISS regrets that it cannot sponsor visas for this position.

The IISS is an equal opportunities employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr
