$70k–$85k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a summary paragraph after "Summary". Should we treat that as About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (Education & Experience Requirements), Skills (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe Qualifications? The posting has Education & Experience Requirements; we can treat that as Requirements. Also there is "Physical Requirements" but that's not a heading we need; we can incorporate into Requirements? But we should not create sections with filler. Physical Requirements is specific content; but we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements in allowed list; we could fold into Requirements or maybe into a separate section? The allowed headings list does not include Physical Requirements, but we could still include it as a

within Requirements? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list. So we could add other headings if needed, but better to stick to those. Physical requirements could be part of Requirements or maybe a separate section but not required. We'll include it under Requirements as a paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "Our employment practices..." etc. Also remove "SHRM is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "We do not sponsor applicants for work visas." Also remove navigation/cookie etc none. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the summary paragraph, responsibilities list, education & experience requirements, knowledge/skills/abilities, benefits, pay, schedule (hybrid schedule). Also maybe mention "Travel: Occasional 0 – 10%" as part of schedule? Could be a separate note but we can include under Schedule or maybe as a note in Responsibilities? It's substantive; we could add a

under Schedule or maybe a separate section "Travel". But not in allowed headings; we could add as a

under Schedule or maybe under Requirements. I'd add a

under Schedule: "Travel: Occasional 0 – 10%". Now format. We need

headings. For each section, we need content:

for prose,

  • for lists. Let's extract. Summary paragraph: "SHRM is a member-driven catalyst for creating better workplaces where people and businesses thrive together. As the trusted authority on all things work, SHRM is the foremost expert, researcher, advocate, and thought leader on issues and innovations impacting today’s evolving workplaces. With nearly 340,000 members in 180 countries, SHRM touches the lives of more than 362 million workers and their families globally. Summary The Specialist, Creative is a multimodal designer who helps shape how the brand looks, feels, and moves across omnichannel marketing campaigns and experiences, including print, digital, social, and events. This role blends visual design, motion design, and user experience principles to bring data, insights, and ideas to life through audience-centered storytelling. Working with moderate independence and in close collaboration with members of the design, multimedia, content production, and broader Brand and Marketing teams, the Specialist takes assigned projects from concept through final production. The role applies relevant design and industry trends, contributes to the evolution of the team’s visual toolkit, and explores opportunities to incorporate emerging technologies, including generative AI, into creative workflows. The Specialist builds effective working relationships with stakeholders across the organization who submit creative requests and translates business needs into high-quality visual solutions that support organizational and strategic priorities." We could treat first part as company description; but we need About the role section. Probably we should put the summary about the role (starting at "Summary The Specialist, Creative...") as About the role. The earlier corporate description could be omitted? It's substantive but not about the role; but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. However we can include it as a paragraph before About the role? But we cannot add extra headings not requested. We could include it as a

    under About the role preceding the role description. That would preserve it. So About the role will contain two paragraphs: company overview and role summary. Now Responsibilities: list items: - Conceptualize, design, and produce visual assets across digital, print, social, event, and other marketing channels while consistently applying established brand standards, identity, and tone. - Contribute to and maintain adaptable design systems, templates, and assets that allow content to remain modular, scalable, and easy for broader marketing and communications teams to repurpose. - Partner cross-functionally to translate research, data, business priorities, and audience insights into compelling visual storytelling. - Develop graphics, infographics, presentations, and other visual materials that simplify complex information for executive, professional, and public audiences. - Stay current on relevant design, marketing, and industry trends and apply appropriate trends and best practices to assigned projects. - Design and produce short-form motion graphics, animated explainers, HTML5 assets, and other digital content optimized for audience engagement. - Collaborate with multimedia partners to develop animated overlays, transitions, typographic motion, and other visual elements that enhance video storytelling. - Explore multimodal design formats, including augmented reality, generative visuals, interactive presentations, and AI-generated imagery, and share relevant findings and recommendations with the team. - Prototype and test visual formats for emerging and evolving platforms, including YouTube Shorts, Maglr, LinkedIn carousels, interactive PDFs, and HTML5 experiences. - Adapt creative concepts for multiple formats and platforms while maintaining a consistent visual experience. - Use approved generative AI tools in creative workflows for ideation, concept development, mood boards, asset generation, and other appropriate design applications in accordance with organizational guidelines and responsible-use standards. - Contribute to the maintenance and refinement of the visual identity system to support brand evolution and campaign needs. - Serve as a brand steward by ensuring creative assets align with established visual standards, whether developed through traditional design methods or generative AI-assisted workflows. - Apply accessibility, inclusivity, usability, and clarity standards to visual design work and proactively identify opportunities for improvement. - Collaborate with Brand, Marketing, Content, Multimedia, and other cross-functional partners to promote consistency across audience touchpoints. - Develop creative templates, toolkits, and modular assets that support broader marketing and communications needs and recommend enhancements to existing resources. - Identify opportunities to improve creative workflows, tools, processes, and production efficiencies.

Now Benefits: "SHRM offers a competitive and comprehensive total rewards package.

We can list as bullet list. Pay: "The hiring range for this position is $70,000 to $85,000 per year.
