About the role

  • You will be joining a growing, entrepreneurial content undertaking operating inside one of the most powerful financial institutions in the world.
  • That combination - startup energy, global scale - is rare, and it is deliberate.
  • It is the thing that makes a complex idea land.

Responsibilities

  • Design Across the Full Content Spectrum: Lead design across Citi Wealth's full range of content formats - whitepapers, research brochures, one-page At a Glances, client presentations, executive slide decks, social posts, digital editorial, event materials, and more - bringing consistent craft and intention to every format, regardless of scale.
  • Communication Through Design: Approach every brief first as a communication problem.
  • Use design - layout, hierarchy, typography, colour, imagery - as a tool for clarity and persuasion, not just aesthetics.
  • Executive & High-Profile Presentations: Design and art direct senior executive presentations and high-stakes slide decks - understanding that at this level, design carries authority, and every choice reflects the institution.
  • Identify opportunities to extend, customise, and deepen the application of the brand system, and develop documentation that helps the wider team work within those standards.
  • Franchise Identity & Visual Language: Contribute to the establishment of visual identities for new content franchises - naming conventions, colour systems, typographic hierarchies, template families, iconography - building identities that are distinctive, scalable, and unmistakably Citi Wealth.
  • Differentiation by Design: Actively review the competitive landscape - financial media, wealth management peers, luxury brands, editorial design - and develop a rigorous point of view on how Citi Wealth can stand apart visually.
  • Social & Digital Design: Design social content across platforms with an understanding of format-specific constraints, visual vernaculars, and what stops a scroll - without sacrificing brand integrity for algorithmic expediency.
  • AI-Powered Design Workflows: Demonstrate deep fluency with modern AI design tools - including generative image and layout tools, AI-assisted typography, automated production workflows, and intelligent design systems - using them to expand creative range, accelerate production, and free up time for higher-order creative thinking.
  • Motion Graphics (Advantageous): Where motion graphics experience exists, bring it to bear - animating data visualisations, designing kinetic social content, building branded motion templates, and adding dimension to static design systems.

Requirements

  • A portfolio is required with your application.
  • Strong proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite - InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop required
  • A solid understanding of typographic systems, grid-based layout, colour theory, and information hierarchy - and the ability to apply that understanding across a wide range of format scales.
  • Other job-related duties may be assigned as required.

Nice to have

  • Motion graphics experience - After Effects, animation principles, kinetic typography, data visualisation animation - with examples in your portfolio.
  • Experience designing for financial services, wealth management, or luxury brand audiences.
  • Experience with data visualisation tools and the design of financial charts, graphs, and infographics.
  • An understanding of print production workflows, including preparation of files for high-quality physical output.
  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Fine Art, or a related field - or equivalent professional experience.
  • Every decision - layout, type, colour, image - is in service of a communication goal.
  • You can articulate why, not just what.
  • Complexity Made Beautiful: You have the ability to take dense, technical content and make it legible, attractive, and even elegant.

Skills

  • Reduce without dumbing down.
  • Simplify without losing precision.
  • Importantly, all our hiring processes and decisions, including determining your s
