The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.

About The Role

As a Visual Designer at Wirecutter, you'll join our creative team and be central to bringing our stories to life through compelling visuals. While the role has a special focus on motion and animation, your core responsibility is high-quality graphic design. Reporting to an Associate Creative Director, you'll create clear and engaging designs for our reviews and stories, helping to inform and inspire our readers.

You'll need a keen eye for design, with strong skills in layout, typography, and information design. You will work closely with video editors to produce animated diagrams, title cards, and callouts, as well as help other designers integrate motion into their work. You'll also be instrumental in our "off-platform" efforts, creating platform-native graphics and motion pieces for social media and newsletters. The goal is to critically think about what each platform needs and deliver engaging designs that resonate with specific audiences.

This is a fantastic opportunity to grow your skills and directly impact how Wirecutter connects with its audience.

This is a hybrid position based in New York City and includes regular attendance in the office each week per your departmental guidance.

Responsibilities

• Create compelling graphics, charts, and infographics for Wirecutter's stories, bringing them to life with motion graphics and animation in After Effects.
• Collaborate with video editors to design and produce animated graphics like diagrams, title cards, and callouts for various video projects.
• Work with other designers to add animation and motion elements to their visuals, enhancing storytelling and engagement.
• Create and adapt platform-native graphics and short animations for social media and newsletters, collaborating directly with those teams.
• Work closely with the Associate Creative Directors and other team members on larger visual projects.
• Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
