Chargé(e) de communication – graphiste

We seek to hire a Graphic Designer who can translate research and ideas into compelling visual narratives across, campaigns, events, and digital platforms for CEEW.

If you can turn dense research into visuals people actually stop to look at, and enjoy switching between a 100-page report and a 10-second Instagram reel, we would like to speak to you. If you can help us make sustainability visually unmissable, we would consider hiring you.
