About the role

The award-winning Forbes Content & Design Studio is looking for a talented, driven Designer to join our Multiplatform Content Design team. Leveraging visual, UX, and motion design, we produce high-volume, high-impact digital experiences in partnership with internal teams across Forbes and with many of the world's leading brands. This is a high-growth opportunity for an ambitious creative who wants their work seen at scale on a team dedicated to craft, experimentation, and continuous education. You'll bring sophisticated visual taste, a discerning eye for packaging, genuine empathy for the user, and a meticulous attention to detail. Because the role is deeply collaborative, strong communication and the ability to work well with a range of partners are just as important as your design skills.

Responsibilities

• Premium Content
  • Craft compelling, user-focused designs for on- and off-platform brand experiences—from immersive article packages and landing pages to interactive features and video.
  • Translate client briefs and content goals into clear visual concepts, owning the design from initial direction through polished final delivery.
  • Partner closely with branded content editors to build coherent, end-to-end content experiences where design and narrative reinforce each other.
  • Uphold both Forbes' editorial standards and each client's brand guidelines, balancing creative ambition with practical execution across multiple concurrent projects.
• Social
  • Design and produce engaging, platform-native social content, including carousels, GIFs, motion graphics, and short-form video, tailored to the conventions and audiences of each channel.
  • Develop social-first concepts that extend premium campaigns and stand on their own, keeping pace with fast-moving formats and trends.
  • 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.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in digital/interaction design. Experience in editorial, branded content, or agency environments is a plus.
• Portfolio showcasing thoughtful solutions to design problems.
• Strong visual communication skills with a keen eye for layout, hierarchy, typography, and color.
• Experience designing for social platforms, with familiarity with platform-specific best practices.
• Proficiency in motion design.
• Comfort with fast-turnaround, pitch-oriented work.
• Proficiency in tools such as Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite.
• Clear thinking and strong written and verbal communication.
• A nimble, flexible, solutions-oriented mindset.
• World-class attention to detail.
• A love for learning!
