About the role
As part of the Learning and Activation team, you’ll help share learnings and stories of work in communities across our national network.
Reporting to the Senior Manager of Learning, the Content Design Strategist is responsible for supporting the Learning and Activation team in creatively visualizing results and sharing emergent learning with StriveTogether staff and the Cradle to Career Network. You’ll play a critical role in making content accessible and engaging through digital and printed media. You’re also a skilled project manager who can coordinate meetings with stakeholders to conduct empathic interviews, translating complex ideas into user-friendly resources.
About you
You’re an independent, detail-oriented designer who leads with curiosity. You go the extra step to make sure visuals and content are inclusive and simplified for maximum accessibility. Although you excel at overall visual strategy, you take the initiative to roll up your sleeves when needed — whether that’s emailing someone for higher-resolution photos or reaching out to stakeholders to ensure your visuals portray the heart of the message they intended to communicate. You have a portfolio that showcases your ability to create layouts and present complex data or information simply. Your overall body of work demonstrates that you can prioritize the perspectives of your users and clients in a way that centers and elevates their voices. When it comes to project planning, you can self-manage along timelines and hold yourself accountable to the team, communicating when you find yourself needing support. You are collaborative and open to sharing design files in progress with other designers or writers to meet deadlines and fit user needs.
