Posted on Jul 14, 2025
New York City Metropolitan Area (On-site, in office at least three days/week)
Annual Salary $95-120k/year
About the role
Own every pixel that leaves the building—quarterly LP reports, data-rich market research, infographics on demand, and the daily stream of graphics that keep our brand sharp.
- Tempo: Steady-state workflow, punctuated by ~4 major “report sprints” per year; expect long days during peak weeks.
- Ownership: You’ll be the only designer on payroll—decisions, deadlines, and glory are yours.
- Stakeholders: Partner directly with Investment, IR, and Marketing teams; must translate dense financial data into visuals a layperson can understand in seconds.
Core Responsibilities
- LP & Investor Reports: Layout multi-page reports in InDesign/Figma; build data visualizations directly from Excel/PowerPoint feeds. Enforce brand consistency; create reusable component libraries and style sheets to accelerate future cycles.
- Market-Research Publications: Design graphs, pull-quotes, and infographics that make complex trends obvious. Collaborate with analysts to refine data storytelling before design begins—no endless re-flow later.
- Digital & Social Graphics: Produce punchy, on-brand visuals for LinkedIn, X, and newsletter headers—often same-day turnaround.
- Internal Fundraising Support: Polish fund-raise decks and diagrams when partners go on the road.
- Brand Stewardship: Guard the style guide, build templates, and educate non-designers so you aren’t fixing their text boxes.
Required Qualifications
- 4–6 years design experience—agency or in-house—serving B2B or financial clients.
- Portfolio that proves mastery of report design, data visualizations, and social graphics.
- Expert in Adobe CC, Figma, and PowerPoint; comfortable wrangling raw data in Excel.
- Proven ability to hit hard deadlines during crunch periods without sacrificing quality.
- Sharp eye for typography, hierarchy, and whitespace; you sweat alignment details.
- Communicates with execs who think in basis points, not gradients.
Preferred / “Nice‑to‑Have”
- Motion graphics skills (After Effects or equivalent).
- Prior exposure to venture capital or financial storytelling.
- Experience building and maintaining component libraries or design systems.
What Success Looks Like
- LPs compliment report clarity; analysts reuse your chart templates.
- Research infographics get cited by press and reposted on social.
- No partner calls an external firm for “just a quick graphic.”
- Quarterly sprints run smoother because you’ve automated half the layout work.

- Direct partnership with the CEO on high-visibility initiatives.
- Competitive compensation, benefits, training budget, and flexible New York office environment.
- Exposure to cutting-edge startups and a chance to support a world-class brand.
