Visual Design Artist - Central Technology

Job Description

Riot Visual Designers seek to craft the best user experiences and artifacts through their knowledge of systemic design, graphic design, layout, typography, color theory, illustration, and accessibility standards. Designers collaborate with teams across the Technology Department as both artistic and design problem solvers.

As a Visual Designer II on the Information Design Systems (IDS) team, you will partner with departmental leads across the Technology Department to create logos, presentations, data visualization, and other assets that not only present a clear message but tell a compelling story.

You can lead a project from start to finish, actively seek feedback, understand how to manage timelines, and have excellent communication skills. This role reports to the Manager of Design & Communication Systems.

Responsibilities:
• Work cross-functionally to develop team brand identities, templates, presentations, and style guides
• Create engaging assets that are accessible and human readable
• Ability to take large, complex projects, and create an organized roadmap for execution
• Contribute to the development of efficient team practices
• An awareness of maintaining thematic cohesion between Technology Department materials and other Riot assets
• Interface with new and existing customers in a friendly yet professional manner. Conduct intake interviews for new projects and ask the right questions to ensure that requirements are clear and scoped.
• Ability to own timeline and help drive creation of recurring deliverables.

Required Qualifications:
• 6+ years of professional experience as a Visual Designer
• Experience working in Branding, Graphic Design, Presentation Design, or Digital Products
• Experience independently working cross functionally with leadership in a large corporation
• Expert in Adobe Creative Suite and Google Slides
• Basic knowledge of Figma
• Ability to discover and understand the use cases, needs, burning questions, and pain points of the customer and audience

Desired Qualifications:
• Knowledge of Adobe After Effects and ability to create simple animations (or equal proficiency in similar tool)
