Design Associate

Keystone is hiring a Design Associate to define, elevate, and operationalize the visual language of our brand across every medium. This role is critical to ensuring that every presentation, proposal, and communication—internal or external—reflects Keystone’s excellence and sophistication as we move into our next chapter of growth.

About the Design Associate Role

The Design Associate will bridge the strategic and the tactical in shaping and deploying Keystone’s visual identity. Responsibilities include refreshing the visual systems that underpin our brand—colors, templates, design standards, and workflows—with the goal of making every brand touchpoint world-class and easily scaled across the organization. You’ll combine creative direction with production art and act as both a strategist and executor.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll serve as brand designer, enabler, tactician, and role model for the organization. You’ll collaborate across teams - from marketing and consulting - and you'll work closely with executive leadership on high profile presentations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with marketing, operations, client-facing leaders to align creative standards across all communication channels

Templates & Asset Development

  • Redesign and manage PowerPoint and Word templates used across client and internal deliverables
  • Extend Keystone’s visual identity to written materials (reports, proposals, briefs, etc.) with clarity and structure

Asset Library Management

  • Develop and manage a centralized asset library (collateral, logos, diagrams, iconography, photography, and motion graphics)
  • Ensure version control, accessibility, and organization-wide adoption of standardized templates
  • Ensure communications and sharing of assets across company

Production & Presentation Execution

  • Oversee the design and production of client presentations and marketing materials, ensuring consistency, clarity, and brand integrity
  • Collaborate with consulting and leadership teams to refine presentations, content assets – such as research briefs and white papers – as well as infographics for narrative impact
  • Manage timelines and workflows to deliver high-quality creative output on schedule
  • Support digital and content marketing initiatives, including website visuals, research publications, and campaign assets

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communications, or a related field, with a strong interest or background in AI and technology.
  • 4+ years of experience in graphic or production design, ideally within creative agency, consulting or professional services experience
  • A portfolio that demonstrates a strategic approach to brand systems, especially in contexts that involve technology and business.
  • Expert proficiency in PowerPoint, Word, and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
  • Deep understanding of layout, typography, and visual hierarchy across presentation and document formats
  • Proven experience building enterprise-grade templates and production systems
  • Meticulous attention to detail with a strong sense of design rigor and brand discipline
  • Excellent communication skills and cross-functional collaboration ability
  • Self-starter/ability to work without much supervision
  • Familiarity with AI-driven design tools and creative automation technologies

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
