  • Transform technical product slides into a "value-based" customer narrative.
  • Develop graphics, layouts, infographics, tables, charts, and other visual elements that make complex information clear, engaging, and easy to understand.
  • Elevate raw content (outlines, drafts, data, and notes), into polished graphics or presentation-ready materials.
  • Support high-visibility moments, including Product launches, Sales Kick-offs and other corporate events, and customer presentations with design that performs.  

Content Governance

  • Apply BMO brand guidelines, visual identity standards, and style guides consistently across all outputs.
  • Develop templates and presentation assets, including sourcing appropriate imagery, icons, and graphics from approved resources.
  • Ensure accuracy, compliance, version control, and appropriate file management throughout the design and production lifecycle.
  • Work with subject matter experts and approvers to refine content, obtain required approvals, and maintain evidence of approvals where needed.

Staying ahead

  • Stay abreast of design trends, tools, and technologies to incorporate innovative design elements into presentations.
  • Utilize emerging creative technologies, including AI-powered design and content generation tools to improve efficiency and unlock new creative capabilities.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, Visual Communication, or equivalent experience

  • Demonstrated expertise in presentation design, design principles, typography, layout, hierarchy, and visual storytelling.
  • Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, including Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign.
  • Advanced expertise in PowerPoint as a design and storytelling tool. 
  • Experience creating print-ready documents and high-quality presentation collateral for executive or client-facing use.
  • Ability to translate complex, abstract, or technical information into clear visuals
  • Highly detail-oriented: meticulous about alignment, consistency, and visual polish.
  • Strong intrapersonal skills (i.e., the ability to interact with all levels of management)
  • Curiosity, creativity, and interest in continuing to grow across brand design, digital experiences, accessibility, event activation, and emerging creative tools.
  • Familiarity with motion graphics, animation, and interactive storytelling platforms is a plus.
  • Experience in financial services, asset management, or another regulated industry is helpful but not required.
