Media Designer

As our new Media Designer you will create impactful visual communication products which meet McKinsey’s highest quality standards in terms of both product and process.

Who you will work with

You will be based in our Oslo, Norway office as part of our Visual Media team.

McKinsey's Visual Media team consists of ~80 multimedia designers across several locations. We conceptualize and generate compelling design and media solutions (digital and print), based on briefings and co-creation with our customers for McKinsey’s communication needs.

What you will do

You will support our consulting teams in the Nordic region and throughout Europe, both as they serve our clients and for external communication purposes. You will act as a thought-partner to your customers. You will develop creative solutions with them to best support their communication goals, tell visual stories and bring together communicative and visual content. Plus, you will guide and advise on McKinsey’s visual identity.

In close collaboration with your customers, you will support requests/projects from the initial briefing through concept design to final end-product realization. You will work independently, or alongside colleagues as part of design-project teams led by more experienced designers or creative leads, gaining experience in leading projects and continuing to build on a strong track record in supporting and monitoring requests/projects from end to end.

Another element of your role will be testing and implementing new technology (e.g. design software) and actively staying in touch with the latest design trends in order to assist in innovating and elevating our service offering.
