Hi. We're Article Group, a strategic advisory and creative studio.
That means we often work with product marketers at some of the most well-known tech companies (think: Google, Meta, Amazon, Salesforce etc.). It also means we're a great partner for startups and early-stage companies looking to leverage our strategic and creative capabilities.
Our rapidly growing keynote business focuses on synthesizing visual storytelling with expert customer service. We craft bold presentations for some of the top industry leaders at brands like Amazon Web Services, AIG, and Crowdstrike.
We strive to make every slide and animation clear, beautiful, surprising, and useful. We want all of our speakers to be able to present with confidence, and aim to reduce friction in the keynote development process through the clarity that comes from a strong point of view.
Role description
The freelance Associate Creative Director, Design at Article Group leads creative concepting, visual styling, design, and client workshares on assigned technical keynote presentations and event collateral. You will work directly and autonomously with clients among your direct collaborators, and be accountable for creative problem-solving, design direction, PowerPoint presentation design and animation, and collaboration with other designers and animators. You will be accountable for selling through a consistent design direction for each asset you are assigned, while contributing to all client-facing deliverables in a "hands-on" manner. This is a leader/doer role.
You will drive creative excellence across design-centric workflows and deliverables. In close collaboration with Article Group management, you will represent Article Group to clients and own accountability for creative decisions. You will demonstrate consultative listening to grasp client objectives, persuasive presentation of creative concepts, and adaptive problem-solving when incorporating feedback.
Your background skews toward keynote and presentation design, art direction, and visual storytelling. You are capable of direct partnership with clients, including senior C-suite or VP executive speaker stakeholders. You can lead creative efforts as both a doer and delegator of tasks while giving concise, actionable feedback to collaborators of all levels. Ultimately, you are responsible for crafting and advocating for the integrity of the core creative vision of assigned deliverables with team members and clients.
This role requires advanced PowerPoint design capabilities. Candidates should be comfortable designing high-visibility executive-level presentations, designing polished slides from blank pages, and iterating rapidly in live client sessions.
This role frequently requires direct, 1:1 collaboration with clients. Designers will be expected to work with clients as partners in the creative process, and become trusted, embedded members of the client keynote development team.
This is a freelance, project-based contract role with variable hours based on client demand and event schedules. You will work in a remote environment. Travel for on-site events and rehearsals will be required. You will find success in this role if you are senior enough to design and iterate quickly in PowerPoint with a high taste level in close, personable collaboration with client stakeholders.
Key responsibilities
Minimum requirements:
Article Group is committed to providing equal employment opportunities without regard to race, religion, color, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, age, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability, or any other basis prohibited by applicable federal, state, or local law.
COVID-19 considerations: We started as a distributed team, and have barely skipped a beat in shifting to 100% remote. When it's abundantly safe to work in and commute to our offices, we will re-open – but will remain flexible to remote collaboration.
