Senior Visual Designer

About Gemic

Gemic is a global consultancy specializing in business strategy and innovation. We help leading organizations drive sustainable growth by applying human-centered design to emerging cultural, business, and technological shifts. Our teams combine social science and strategy to deliver impactful, design-led solutions.

About the Role

We are seeking a multi-disciplinary designer with a strong background in information design, data visualization, graphic design, and web design/development.

In this role, you will collaborate with researchers, strategists, and clients across a wide range of subjects to create impactful visual experiences that communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.

You will  apply human-centered design and design thinking principles to translate complex qualitative and quantitative findings into intuitive, visually engaging outputs — such as infographics, frameworks, diagrams, timelines, data visualizations, and slide narratives.

The role will be based in our Berlin office and serving a global function to the wider company.  Please note this is NOT intended as a remote position and you must be located in Berlin (or willing to relocate to Berlin and obtain legal work authorization).

Key Responsibilities

• Create information-rich visuals that communicate research insights, strategies, and frameworks including charts, diagrams, presentations, and web experiences.
• Develop and design intelligible information hierarchies and frameworks that support clarity, understanding, and retention.
• Collaborate with researchers and strategists to distill findings into creative visual artifacts and infographics.
• Turn complex data and abstract concepts into clear, compelling visual stories.
• Design and build visual systems, templates, and toolkits for presentations, whitepapers, and digital deliverables.
• Develop branding and layout schemes or adhere to client guidelines to maintain consistent, high-quality outputs.
• Work iteratively, proactively seeking feedback from colleagues and clients to refine and improve solutions.
• Compose storyboards, cut audio tracks, or create motion graphics to enhance digital storytelling. (Preferred but not required) 
  

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in visual design, information design, or data visualization (consulting or client-facing experience preferred).
• Proven ability to design infographics, frameworks, and visual narratives that clarify complex ideas.

• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, PowerPoint/Google Slides, and data visualization or prototyping tools.
• Experience producing deliverables such as presentations, web experiences, and print or digital reports.
• Familiarity with UX/UI design principles and the ability to translate conceptual ideas into visual systems.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, able to present ideas clearly to both design and non-design audiences.
• Curiosity, creativity and a passion for turning insight into meaning through thoughtful visual storytelling.

Nice to have

• Skills in motion design, video editing, illustration, or generative AI tools.
• Experience with HTML/CSS or basic front-end prototyping.
