Job description: Connect to your Industry
This is an amazing opportunity to join our award-winning and growing Sales Excellence creative team in Deloitte Consulting. As Creative Lead (Senior Designer) you will design and lead strategic creative concepts on our most important cross-border Bids/Pursuits.

What’s expected: Expertise in the main Adobe Suite (InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) and in the Microsoft Suite (PowerPoint and Word). Delivering outputs for digital, screen and print, we also explore new techniques in that context using AR/VR, microsites, video, animation, presentations and printed collateral.
Working as a team: We collaborate extensively with non-designer business consultants through PowerPoint and Word – and are at the cutting edge of what we can integrate from the Adobe Creative suite of software into those platforms.
Style of work: We work as creatives in an agile corporate environment. We have fun. We experiment with new tools and techniques. Yes, we utilize PowerPoint and Word extensively – we also produce the most exciting, interactive and compelling graphic design and push the boundaries of what we can do.
In sum: There are many opportunities to grow and develop in your creative practice with the Pursuit Centre of Excellence – being exposed to a wealth of experience and mentors across many geographies, working on materials for some the most exciting global clients.
