Communication & social media team

The Visual Content Designer (Canva) looks after still visuals; you take charge of motion, for the webinars and online exchanges you help create as well as for the labs’ videos. This is a volunteer role in the communication and social media team: you report to the Communication Strategy Lead.

  • Create the openings, transitions, lower thirds and end cards for webinars and lab videos
  • Extend the brand video kit lab by lab, and keep its files up to date
  • Animate data stories with the Data Visualisation Designer: one sourced figure, one chart, one idea
  • Prepare ready-to-use templates for the Short-Form Video Editor and the YouTube Specialist
  • Design animated thumbnails and speaker visuals with the Speaker Relations Officer

  • Document every template: use, formats, typefaces and colours
