Role:

Gemic is a global business strategy and innovation consultancy with offices in New York City, Helsinki, Berlin, London and Toronto. Over the past decade, they have built a practice aimed at helping leading corporations and institutions create sustainable growth through a richer understanding of the emerging shifts in culture, business, and technology through a human-centered approach. Their team is made up of anthropologists, philosophers, economists, sociologists, political scientists, and futurists. They hail from over 10 countries, speak 14 languages, and always work in small teams that carry a project from inception, through research and strategy, into design-led solutions.

 Gemic delves into the world of the unspoken and unseen – the rules and conventions that guide social behavior and norms and the beliefs that shape what people see as good and valuable. These intangibles shape human experience but often lack a vocabulary and voice. The primary role of a visual communications designer is to help their team of researchers share their learnings through visualizing evidence, portraying the lives of people we encounter in their research, and building explanatory models and frameworks that distill their learnings into memorable concepts and ideas.

When not actively working to communicate work, you will help build and execute the strategy for the Gemic brand. As their work touches on many new digital platforms, they will need to build a coherent system that works across them all and enable their team to work while maintaining consistency and quality. You will also help champion design internally and help develop a strong design culture within the company.
You will be based in one of their three offices, serving a global function out of either NYC, Berlin, or Toronto. While their team is currently working remotely in line with Covid measures, there will be an opportunity to travel across all three offices when in-person work resumes – enabling you to collaborate with and immerse in each of our local teams.
