Job details:
The Global Voice is an independent geopolitics media house. We report on the forces reshaping the world, including conflict, diplomacy, economy, and power, from an Indian point of view rather than a borrowed one, a perspective largely missing from global coverage that defaults to the West.
We are committed to challenging established narratives and questioning convenient truths. The Global Voice aims to highlight underrepresented viewpoints and bring forward the side of the story that rarely makes the front page.
THE ROLE
This is an in-office, founding team role based out of Goa.
You will define how The Global Voice looks across every platform it exists on. Social posts, thumbnails, infographics, newsletter headers, article images, podcast covers, brand assets. You are not decorating content, you are making it more powerful.
SALARY: 3.6 LPA
JOINING DATE: BY END OF AUGUST, IN GOA
EXPERIENCE: 1-3 YEARS
(Please apply only if you're comfortable with the role, location, and expectations outlined)
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Design social media content across Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. Multiple finished assets, daily.
- Create article feature images, YouTube thumbnails, and podcast cover art that people actually click
- Build infographics and data visualisations that make geopolitical complexity readable and shareable
- Own and evolve the TGV design system including colours, typography, layout grids, and component templates
- Design newsletter headers, email banners, and all email visual assets
- Collaborate with the video editor on motion graphics, title cards, and lower thirds
- Use AI-assisted tools where useful (background removal, upscaling, reference/ideation) but final assets must be your own work. No fully AI-generated final art, no Midjourney/DALL-E/Firefly output passed off as finished design. We check for this.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- NIFT graduates or design school freshers with a strong portfolio
- A strong portfolio. We want to see editorial design, social content at scale, and brand work. All three
- Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite including Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
- A clear editorial design sensibility. Your work should look like a news brand, not a lifestyle brand
- The ability to produce multiple polished social assets in a morning without quality dropping, by hand
- Understanding of what works visually on each platform and designs that reflect that understanding
- Willingness to grow into video editing as the work demands it
- You can join us in Goa by the end of August
WHO WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR
- Designers who lean on AI tools to generate or finish their work
- Designers who make things that look nice but do not perform
- People who need a week to turn around a social post
- People who do not understand what editorial design means or why it is different
30 DAYS IN
Every platform, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, the newsletter, has assets that look like they belong to the same brand. You've turned the brand direction into an actual design system, colours, type, grids, templates, and it's documented somewhere other than your head. You're a day or two ahead of the content calendar instead of designing same-day. At least one thumbnail or infographic you've made has already outperformed the rest, and you know what made it work.
60 DAYS IN
You can point to a specific thumbnail or infographic and the numbers it moved, a click rate, a save count, a share. The design system is holding up without you re-explaining it for every new asset. Someone can look at three posts from three different platforms and know they're all TGV without seeing the logo. You're the one flagging new formats to try, not waiting to be asked.
