Role Description

Agility PR Solutions is seeking a graphic designer to support the creation and ongoing improvement of reusable templates used across client-facing reports and platform-based email briefings.

Work will span PowerPoint report templates and HTML-based templates used within Agility’s PR and media monitoring platform.

What you’ll do

• Report Template Design (PowerPoint)
  • Design and refine PowerPoint report templates that scale across many client reports.
  • Build reusable layouts for charts, section structures, callouts, and appendices.
  • Ensure templates are safe for use by non-designers by using:
    • Well-structured master slides
    • Locked elements
    • Clear and consistent usage patterns
  • Translate dense or data-heavy content into clear, readable layouts using strong visual hierarchy, spacing, and structure.
  • Work within different client brand guidelines while maintaining a consistent underlying design system.
• Email & Platform Template Design (HTML)
  • Design and build email-safe HTML templates used for:
    • Email briefing templates
    • HTML-based layouts rendered within Agility’s PR and media monitoring platform
  • Apply conservative, production-safe HTML/CSS patterns appropriate for email clients.
  • Create reusable HTML template structures with clearly defined sections and placeholders so non-technical users can safely update content without breaking layout or styling.
• Brand, Accessibility, and Delivery Standards
  • Work comfortably within detailed and highly prescriptive brand guidelines, including:
    • Typography
    • Spacing
    • Colour accessibility
    • Logo usage
    • Legal disclaimers
  • Apply accessibility best practices for presentation and email templates, including contrast, font sizing, and overall readability.
  • Deliver clean, well-organized files with:
    • Clear naming conventions
    • Version control
    • Light usage notes or documentation to support reuse
• Collaboration and Iteration
  • Incorporate feedback from non-design stakeholders, including analysts, account teams, and clients.
  • Iterate efficiently with a practical, solution-oriented mindset.
  • Flag unclear requirements or ambiguities early rather than making assumptions.

Qualifications

• Strong PowerPoint design skills, including experience building reusable templates using master slides.
• Experience designing templates intended for use by non-designers.
• Experience with email-safe HTML and HTML templating.
• Working knowledge of professional design tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Cloud — Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) to support high-quality template and asset creation.
• Comfort working within strict brand guidelines and accessibility requirements.
• Strong organizational habits and attention to detail in file delivery and handoff.

Requirements

• Candidates will be asked to complete a short, practical test assignment reflecting real report and email template work.

• Collaborative culture – and key tools enabling it
• Competitive compensation package
• Health, Dental & Vision benefits
