Job description

About the role

We’re a report-specialist content & design company for Indian listed companies. You’ll be the creative owner who fuses brand and creativity to build award-worthy Integrated Annual Reports and Sustainability / BRSR Reports—from big idea and visual system to page design, infographics, and press-ready PDFs / web handoffs. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with writers, ESG analysts, and PMO to convert KPIs and strategy into straightforward, on-brand storytelling.

What you’ll do

  • Lead the concept : Craft the annual theme / storyboard, visual metaphor (e.g., value-creation model), and the design system (grid, typography, colour, iconography, chart styles).
  • Translate brand → report : Turn existing brand guidelines into long-form design guardrails (section templates, data-viz specs, callout styles, photography / illustration direction).
  • Own layout & art direction : Direct designers / illustrators; design hero pages, infographics, complex tables, and multi-column spreads in InDesign; maintain cross-document consistency.
  • Data-viz accuracy : Partner with ESG / data teams to convert KPI packs into charts / scorecards; validate numbers, axes, units, and legends; prevent design-induced data errors.
  • Digital & accessibility : Prepare interactive PDFs / microsite handoffs (component library in Figma); ensure WCAG-aligned text styles, alt-text guidance, contrast, and reading order.
  • Print production : Liaise with printers for paper / finish choices (foil / UV / emboss), colour management, impositions, proofs, dielines; run preflight checks and resolve overprint / bleed issues.
  • Schedule & quality : Plan R1→Rfinal cycles with PMO; maintain version control; uphold a zero-defect preflight standard; coach the team through crunch time.
  • Client collaboration : Present concepts to CXO / CorpCom / IR teams; absorb feedback, protect the core idea, and iterate fast without losing coherence.
  • Design ops : Build reusable libraries (Figma / ID snippets), icon sets, chart kits, and documentation so next year’s report is faster and tighter.

What success looks like (outcomes / KPIs)

  • A single, recognisable visual idea that carries from cover to back-matter across 150–250 pages.
  • First-time-right printer preflight;
  • Zero data mismatches between sheets and charts; all accessibility checks passed.
  • Reusable design system that trims next year’s production time by 20–30%.
  • Strong client feedback (CSAT / NPS) and shortlist / wins in reporting / IR design awards.

    • Must-have experience

  • 3–6 years in brand-led graphic design with long-form work (annual / integrated / sustainability reports, investor decks, magazines).
  • Shipped at least 2 reports for listed companies in India (IR / BRSR preferred).
  • Expertise in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma; confident with complex tables, master pages, paragraph / character styles, and anchored objects.
  • Portfolio showing brand coherence + information design (infographics, KPI dashboards, value-creation models).

    • Nice-to-have (bonus)

  • Motion / interaction basics (After Effects / Lottie), web handoff (design tokens, specs).
  • Exposure to ESG / IR contexts (GRI / BRSR / IFRS S1 / S2) and financial / MD&A content.
  • Experience with prepress / color management (ICC profiles, CMYK / RGB workflows).
  • Hindi / Indian language typography and bilingual layout familiarity.

    • Skills & traits that make you great here

  • Systems thinker : you build grids, type scales, and chart rules that scale.
  • Storyteller : you can turn strategy, risks, and KPIs into visual narratives.
  • Accuracy-obsessed : you never let a chart lie; you love checklists.
  • Presenter : calm with CXO reviews; you defend ideas with data and empathy.
  • Builder : You create libraries / templates that upskill the whole studio.

    • Tools you’ll use

  • Figma
  • Acrobat (preflight / accessibility order)
  • Google Workspace / SharePoint
  • (Nice : After Effects, Lottie)

    • Reporting line & collaboration

  • Works with : Writers, ESG Analysts, PMO, QA, Printer, Web / Motion teams

    • Work mode & timing

  • Hybrid : [3 days / week in office]; seasonal intensity Jan–Aug (earnings / reporting cycles). Flex around print and board-review crunches.

    • Compensation & growth

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus. Path to Creative Director as you standardize our design system and mentor a pod of designers.
