This is not a brand refresh.

This is not a campaign role.

This is not a conceptual art direction position.

It's hands-on, fast-moving and execution-focused.

You will sit alongside product designers, researchers and engineers, capturing work as it happens and translating complex technical thinking into clear, structured communication outputs.

Communication & Presentation Materials

• Create high-quality PowerPoint / Keynote decks
• Develop posters and physical artefacts for lab environments
• Maintain and update visual storytelling materials as the work evolves
• Structure narratives for senior stakeholder presentations

Technical & Systems Visualisation

• Simplify complex systems and AI-related concepts
• Visualise flows, behaviours and processes clearly
• Support the development and communication of conversational AI agent skills and instructions

THE CANDIDATE

• Strong graphic design and layout craft
• Proven hands-on videography and editing experience
• Excellent writing and headline discipline
• Ability to simplify complex or technical content
• Happy producing consistent, repeatable outputs on a weekly cadence

Ideal Background

• Experience within innovation teams, R&D, product or AI environments
• Exposure to data products, systems thinking or enterprise tools
• Comfortable collaborating with engineers and researchers
• Experience working in high-visibility environments with senior stakeholders
