📋 Description

• Audit and sharpen the NEX brand system: guidelines, templates, brand kits across Canva and Drive, and how the brand shows up across global and chapter channels • Advise the CCO on brand strategy and visual identity decisions • Support chapter teams to apply the brand well • Partner with the Marketing Manager on UX for our global and chapter websites: user journeys, landing pages, and page layouts • Build/design pages using an existing page builder/block editor in Wordpress using Figma (or similar) to design. • Improve conversion on key pages: program applications, event registrations, and contact points • Art-direct the creative for flagship campaigns, working closely with the Content Lead and Marketing Manager, and local chapters, from concept to rollout • Build scalable design systems the global team runs on — campaign toolkits, templates, and asset libraries • Be a facilitator and mentor to chapter comms leads: coach them on brand and design craft, and guide their work, or roll up your sleeves and implement, depending on what each country chapter needs • Set the creative bar for outsourced work: brief and quality-control design and video vendors • Support and/or lead storytelling projects with strong visual elements, from videos, photo stories to illustrations and data visualizations • Design ad hoc materials: reports, slide decks, one-pagers, social assets, and campaign visuals • Build reusable templates so the team keeps producing well-designed materials after your contract ends

🎯 Requirements

• 6+ years in brand and digital design, with a portfolio showing brand systems and web/UX work • Strategic branding experience: you've built or evolved brand systems and can explain the thinking behind them • Strong UX and web design skills; fluent in Figma; comfortable in WordPress • Climate or clean energy experience, and experience working globally or regionally • Fluent English, and self-managing in an async, distributed team • Experience working globally or regionally, across cultures and time zones • You use AI tools daily and critically: to work faster on drafts, research, and analysis — while knowing exactly where they fall short of your own voice and judgment • Hungry to learn: you pick up new tools, formats, and platforms before anyone asks you to • We hope you bring one or more of these bonus skills • Front-end skills (HTML, CSS, some JavaScript) for refinements beyond standard WordPress blocks • Motion design and video editing • Nonprofit, philanthropy, or climate-sector clients • Experience designing for entrepreneur or startup audiences
