- Use social performance data and audience behavior to inform creative decisions, iterate on what's working, and continually sharpen engagement.
- Pre-Sale & Pitch Work
- Create polished pre-sale mockups and concept designs that help bring proposals to life and win new business.
- Help shape and evolve a library of templates and reusable assets that raise the quality and speed of pre-sale work.
- Live Events
Design content recaps, highlight assets, and supporting graphics that capture the energy of
Forbes' live events and extend their reach across platforms. - Organization, Communication & Tools
- Manage your own workload across competing priorities and consistently meet deadlines without sacrificing craft.
- Explore and adopt new tools and technologies, including AI-assisted design workflows, to elevate creativity, accelerate production, and push the team's capabilities forward.
- Contribute to and help lead working sessions, brainstorms, and reviews with fellow designers and collaborators across Forbes at all levels of seniority.
- Give and receive constructive feedback, helping to raise the creative quality of the work across the team.
The Ideal Candidate
