Position Overview:
Eurasia Group and GZERO Media are seeking a highly creative, detail-oriented Senior Graphic and Animation Designer who lives and breathes news, international affairs, and policy. The ideal candidate has deep demonstrated experience using visual storytelling—including data visualizations and short-form animations—to make complex geopolitical topics accessible, social-friendly, and engaging across platforms. You will join a dynamic team of researchers, editors, video producers, and writers to elevate our storytelling and thought leadership through innovative multimedia content.
Key Responsibilities:
Daily: Design and produce visually compelling assets—including infographics, charts, maps, and data visualizations—for research publications, newsletters, client deliverables, and GZERO Media’s digital platforms.
Weekly: Create short-form animations and motion graphics for editorial video, social-first content, and multimedia products.
Monthly: Develop interactive and animated presentations for events and conferences, collaborating with the Events team and stakeholders.
Work closely with editorial, research, and digital teams to translate complex global topics—country analysis, elections, breaking news—into clear, impactful visuals.
Propose new creative concepts to advance the firm’s visual storytelling, experiment with generative AI and new design tools as appropriate, and help define our visual brand in a crowded digital marketplace.
Flexibly manage multiple projects and respond quickly to breaking news and fast-changing requirements.
Join internal meetings and (on occasion) external client or event sessions to collect feedback, brainstorm, and present creative ideas.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
7 years’ experience in graphic design and animation (preferably in news, research, think-tank, or policy communications environment) with 3 in a lead role.
Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, especially Illustrator, After Effects, Photoshop, and InDesign; demonstrated ability in using generative AI visual tools and fluency with a variety of new and emerging design platforms.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
Exceptional portfolio with at least four examples of visually explaining complex or policy-related topics.
Passion for global news and politics; international mindset and curiosity about foreign affairs.
Entrepreneurial, “scrappy” approach: can take direction but also thrives independently in a fast-paced, feedback-driven culture.
Team player who contributes to creative vision and thought leadership; strong collaboration and communication skills.
Adaptable to flexible working hours and quick-turnaround requests driven by the global news cycle.
Proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to experiment with new tools or approaches.
The applicable base salary range for this role is $90,000 to $110,000
The base pay offered will be determined on factors such as experience, skills, training, location, certifications, and education. Decisions will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
At Eurasia Group, our mission is to provide the tools and understanding needed in a world where politics drives disruption. We put politics first for our clients, and we aspire to be the leading place people come to find out about the world. This requires us to maintain a company culture that puts people first. We are committed to fostering an environment that is empowering and globally minded. We firmly believe that bringing people with a variety of ideas and perspectives to the table makes our analysis stronger for our clients and creates a better workplace. Our leadership team is dedicated to embedding this approach into everything we do and how we lead because we care deeply about our work and our people.
