Requirements

What you’ll need

3+ years of graphic design experience
NYC-based preferred. TED is headquartered in New York City.
A broad range of interests. You live and breathe graphic design but bring other skills to the table — illustration, motion, photography, 3D, other creative endeavors valued
Expert fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud, with working knowledge of designing for print — InDesign and Photoshop especially. You can prep files and work with vendors to get the output right. If you're still building this print muscle, you’re able to learn fast and own it
Expertise in Figma is a must — and working knowledge of digital design systems a significant plus
Experience designing marketing assets — email, social, display, web — is also a plus
Strong organizational skills, from concept through delivery of mechanicals
Flexibility. TED is a fast-paced environment, and we jump quickly from project to project. You can keep up and thrive off the energy of working on something new.
A deeply curious mind. You are culturally engaged and proactively exploring new technologies and trends within the design world
