• Provide technical and conceptual design solutions tailored to audience, venue, and program format.
• Ensure clarity, readability, and visual cohesion when communicating complex ideas.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects, meeting tight and shifting deadlines without compromising quality.
• Maintain and organize firm design assets and internal production resources.
• Stay informed on emerging design technologies and production techniques to enhance workflow and output quality.

• Partner with colleagues across the firm, including partners, faculty, administrators, and marketing team members.
• Provide primary design support to the Cambridge Institute for Family Enterprise (education, research, and publishing division), which represents approximately 50% of the role.
• Support 3–5 live education programs annually, requiring extended hours during program delivery.
• Remain flexible and responsive to feedback in a client‑centric, high‑performance environment.
• Occasional evening and weekend availability required, particularly during major programs and tight project timelines.

• Minimum 3 years of professional design experience (experience in corporate, professional services, finance, or higher education environments preferred).
• Advanced proficiency in:
  • PowerPoint (including animation)
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Adobe In Design
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Word and print production processes.
• Strong understanding of digital and print design requirements.
• Ability to independently manage a high volume of deliverables with competing priorities.
• Proven ability to thrive in fast‑paced environments and handle last‑minute requests with professionalism and precision.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to high‑quality output.
• Comfortable incorporating feedback and revising work as needed.

• Primarily remote position.
• Occasional in‑person meetings and events at the Cambridge, MA office.
