Manhattan Associates · Atlanta, GA · 2 wk ago
HybridDesignFull-time

Responsibilities

  • Translate complex business, product, technical, and strategic ideas into clear, compelling visual concepts.
  • Develop creative approaches from rough briefs, incomplete content, executive input, data, speaker notes, or early-stage ideas.
  • Identify the central message within a large amount of information and create a visual system that makes it easier to understand and remember.
  • Recommend the right creative format for the idea, whether that is a presentation, diagram, animation, short-form video, infographic, event visual, digital asset, or combination of mediums.
  • Create conceptual frameworks, visual metaphors, diagrams, information graphics, and data visualizations that make abstract ideas tangible.
  • Bring a distinct point of view to the work rather than simply formatting or decorating content.
  • Design and produce presentations across the full spectrum—from clear, functional internal communications to high-end, visually sophisticated keynotes for major external events.
  • Transform rough outlines, raw content, and speaker notes into polished visual narratives with a clear structure, pace, and emotional arc.
  • Produce large-scale main-stage presentations for user conferences, customer summits, product launches, executive meetings, and company events.
  • Incorporate animation, video, live demos, data visualization, speaker choreography, and multi-screen content into cohesive presentation experiences.
  • Build and maintain presentation templates, slide libraries, modular assets, and design systems that enable consistent, on-brand output at scale.
  • Ensure presentation files are technically reliable, efficiently constructed, and prepared for handoff, rehearsal, and live production.
  • Extend visual concepts beyond presentations into formats such as event screens, digital experiences, social media, executive communications, videos, one-pagers, infographics, internal campaigns, and customer-facing assets.
  • Edit and produce short-form video content, including keynote openers, product demos, executive videos, customer stories, social clips, and event sizzle reels.
  • Create light motion graphics, animated typography, transitions, titles, diagrams, and presentation-integrated animations using Adobe After Effects or similar tools.
  • Develop storyboards and visual treatments for more advanced motion or video projects that may be completed with internal or external production partners.
  • Source, generate, select, and adapt photography, illustration, iconography, video, and other assets to create a cohesive visual language.
  • Partner with brand, content, events, product marketing, communications, and digital teams to ensure ideas translate consistently across channels.
  • Understand the fundamentals of live-event and screen-based design, including scale, resolution, aspect ratios, legibility, pacing, and environmental context.
  • Use generative AI and AI-assisted creative tools as an integral part of the design process—not as an occasional add-on.
  • Evaluate emerging AI design tools and determine where they can meaningfully improve speed, quality, scalability, or creative possibility.
  • Build repeatable AI-assisted workflows that allow the creative team to explore more directions, iterate faster, and reduce low-value manual production.
  • Share effective AI workflows, prompts, techniques, and lessons with other members of the creative and marketing organization.
  • Maintain a high creative standard regardless of how the work was produced; AI should accelerate craft, not replace it.
  • Collaborate with speakers, executives, strategists, and content owners to understand what an audience needs to think, feel, understand, or do.
  • Help shape the story—not simply design the content after it has been finalized.
  • Apply strong editorial judgment to distill complex information into clear, audience-appropriate narratives.
  • Know what to emphasize, what to simplify, what to remove, and how to sequence information for maximum impact.
  • Create visual pacing and moments of emphasis that hold attention and make important ideas memorable.
  • Ensure every major deliverable has a clear point of view and takes the audience somewhere.

Qualifications

  • 5–8 years of professional experience in visual communications, presentation design, brand design, multimedia design, or a closely related creative role.
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating conceptual thinking, sophisticated visual design, information design, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote, including advanced animation, master-slide architecture, template development, and large-file management.
  • Demonstrated experience producing main-stage, conference-level, product-launch, or executive presentations for high-profile audiences.
  • Strong visual design fundamentals, including typography, composition, layout, hierarchy, color, imagery, and visual systems.
  • Exceptional visual storytelling and narrative instincts—you can receive a large, unstructured collection of information and find the story and visual idea within it.
  • Demonstrated experience using generative AI and AI-assisted design tools to improve the speed, range, and efficiency of creative work.
  • The ability to explain how AI has been incorporated into your creative process, with portfolio examples or case studies showing its practical application.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator and Photoshop.
  • Experience with Adobe After Effects or a similar motion-design tool, with the ability to create light motion graphics, animated type, transitions, and visual explainers.
  • Video editing proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or a similar platform.
  • Experience designing across multiple formats and channels, not solely presentations.
  • Strong project-management skills and the ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and confidence working directly with senior executives and demanding stakeholders.
  • The ability to work independently, make sound creative decisions, and move projects forward without requiring highly prescriptive direction.
