About the role
About the Company
Visual Capitalist is on a mission to 'Make the World’s Data More Accessible'. We started out in 2011 with the belief that art, data, and storytelling can be combined to make complex issues more digestible. Using infographics, data visualizations and charts, we create visually-intuitive content on business, investing, technology, and more.
Over 15 years later, we’re now a leading digital media company with:
23,000,000+ monthly site visitors 287,000+ email subscribers 2,000,000+ social followers
Our work is seen and shared regularly by senior leaders including Liz Ann Sonders (CIO Charles Schwab), Tim Ferriss (best-selling author/podcaster), Michael Dell (Founder of Dell) and Steve Case (Founder of AOL) . In addition, we are regular contributors to the World Economic Forum, Business Insider, Zero Hedge, MarketWatch, and CNBC and our clients include Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Gucci, The World Bank, New York Life, MSCI, Teck Resources, and many more.
About the Role
We’re looking for Graphic Designers for future opportunities on Visual Capitalist’s Brand Solutions team.
We’re looking for someone who can work closely with writers and strategists to turn data into clear, compelling, and sharable visual stories for major global brands. If your passion sits outside data-driven storytelling, this role likely won’t feel like home.
You're inspired by Visual Capitalist’s content and love exploring new ideas quickly—whether that’s sketching out concepts, or using AI tools to iterate quickly. For you design isn’t just a licence for Adobe Creative Suite, it’s a way of thinking and solving problems for your clients. You’re a teamplayer, who loves collaborating with other designers, copywriters, art directors, and campaign managers. You are unflappable under pressure—you know what I’m cooking—and thrive in a demanding production environment where a day without a deadline is a day without sunshine.
Key Responsibilities
Collaborate closely with writers, strategists, campaign managers, and other creatives to bring data-driven stories and campaigns to life for the Visual Capitalist audience across a range of formats. Consult with clients on visual storytelling and design best practices, guide them on what works and what doesn’t, and advocate for strong storytelling and design. Mentor emerging dataviz designers by sharing your experience, offering feedback, and modeling creative excellence. Contribute actively to Creative Thursdays, project meetings, and debriefs, sharing inspiration and insights while staying current with best practices. Manage multiple projects and deadlines with calm efficiency, taking work from initial concept to final execution on time and to a high standard, incorporating feedback along the way.
Requirements
You are a fantastic fit for this role if you can identify with these traits and skills:
Experience: at least 3 years professional experience in graphic design, with specific experience in data visualization. Creative agency background, industry credentials (RGD, DesCan, AIGA), and/or prior experience in digital media are definite assets. Creative instincts: You bring a strong visual point of view, a steady flow of ideas, and a sharp eye for detail. You understand the narrative behind the data and know how to elevate it visually. You gather inspiration, think in stories, and translate concepts into clear, compelling designs. Animation experience is a bonus. Software proficiency: Adobe Creative Suite (illustrator, photoshop, firefly, etc); data visualization tools, (Tableau, Flourish, RawGraphs); and working familiarity with at least one AI tool. Bonus points for experience with GIS (QGIS) and building interactive Team player: a strong track-record of working as part of a creative team, including with writers, strategists, and campaign managers, and past experience mentoring junior creatives. Excellent presentation and consultation skills: including experience pitching creative concepts and articulating design decisions to clients, while educating them on best practices and providing strategic recommendations. Entrepreneurial mindset: You thrive in a fast-growing, fast-moving environment. You think beyond the brief, look for opportunities to improve processes, and help build systems, standards, and ideas that move the team—and the company—forward.
The ideal candidate will be local to our headquarters, in Vancouver, VC, though exceptional candidates in other parts of Canada will also be considered.
Don't Apply if...
You’re uncomfortable using AI as a creative co-pilot: We use AI tools to ideate, iterate, automate the grunt work. It’s never on autopilot—humans make the final calls. You prioritize craft over concept (or prefer one lane): If your energy comes from perfecting typography, polishing brand systems, or sticking to a strict design rulebook, this won’t be the right fit. At Visual Capitalist, big ideas come first, and they take many forms. Our work spans visual guides, ads, videos, data-driven stories, web pages, and more. You need rigid structure (or struggle with change): Our environment moves fast, priorities shift, and new opportunities pop up daily. We need people who lean into ambiguity, focus on solutions rather than problems, and adapt with a positive attitude. You prefer a traditional, heads-down role: This isn’t a place for people who stay silent in meetings, avoid collaboration, or shy away from engaging with the team. If you don’t bring curiosity, grit, and a sense of fun to team problem-solving, this role won’t be for you.
