We are interested in individuals who have experience supporting executive-level personnel at a federal or state agency or major private sector company, preferably one focused on technology development projects. Graphics Artists will provide Front Office support to an ARPA-H Mission Office, regularly interacting with Government leadership - the Office Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director for Program Management (ADPM), Program Analyst (PA), and technical Program Managers (PMs) - to help create materials that communicate the goals, impact, importance, and status of technology development programs.
Responsibilities will include:
Coordinating with technical personnel to generate graphics and visuals that capture complex technical topics in accurate and accessible visuals, including 2-D and 3-D illustrations, posters, videos, and models representative of products/concept being developed by the office
Developing “iconic” graphics that capture the focus and intent of programs, events, and evolutions relevant to mission office activity
Contributing to the editing and quality control of briefs, presentations, and documents communicating the goals and strategy of the mission office and its programs
Developing and supporting registration and information websites for events such as proposers days, industry days, technical reviews, offsite events, etc.
Generating material, coordinating inputs, and supporting the updating and management of websites related to the agency, mission office, and/or specific programs and events
Collaborating with team members for design, content, and branding, including the development of interactive content; using JavaScript to manipulate style sheets beyond US Web Design System standard
Establishing and extending search engine optimization (SEO); implementing Google Analytics, search console, and tag manager
Identifying SEO, general performance, and caching policy changes needed; deploy changes using GitHub, Docker
Generating test pages; following US Web Design System standards and Digital Council guidance for privacy, security, and accessibility
Minimum Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree or higher - substantial relevant occupational experience (~7 or more years) may be considered in lieu of degree requirement
At least three (3) years relevant experience
The demonstrated professionalism, maturity, sound judgement, and excellent communication and interpersonal skills necessary for daily interactions with executive-level audiences in a dynamic, high-visibility Front Office environment
Ability to work independently or in a team setting as circumstances dictate
Demonstrated experience in graphic design or equivalent discipline; adept in state of the art computer generated graphics and current software packages
Experience with web development applications or related field
