Join us in creating varied visual content for volunteer activities, events, advocacy matters and other services of the Student Union!
The tasks of a graphic designer include designing and editing material for AYY’s published content. In effect, these include various kinds of posters and the yearly review. On the web, the graphic designer also makes Facebook banners, webpage banners and part of our Facebook and Instagram posts. Smaller projects include business cards, staff cards, invitations and other small matters.
In 2018, AYY will receive a new visual look, based on BrandBook, helping to keep the new fresh look unified. You can still create visual outlooks and execute your creative vision in various kinds of event graphics, however. Your main work platform will be Adobe CS, and to ease the planning work we also have a Shutterstock account subscription set up for the graphic designer.
A requirement to apply is a professional knowledge of graphic design, editing and layout. Graphic skills and photography skills are considered a plus, along with knowledge of video editing and capture. The applicant should be able to control projects on their own and to be able to prioritize their work schedule accordingly. The applicant should have good communication skills in Finnish and English. Swedish is considered a plus.
Working in the Student Union requires enthusiasm, efficiency and from time to time flexibility in work hours. Knowledge of the Aalto community is a bonus, because it helps with the planning work of visual elements. You will work in a team with the AYY communications specialist and communications officer, who will help in work orientation and spar and bounce ideas back and forth with the graphic designer.
The work contract is permanent and part-time (20 hours/week). The paygrade is determined by the Student Union Work Agreement (Pay grade II, taking into note possible education and experience increases). The person chosen for the job can apply for an AYY governed apartment. AYY’s central office is in Otaniemi, Espoo, with good public transport connections.
We will contact the possible endorsement contacts that the applicants have provided well in advance during the application process. Please add your endorsements into your CV or application.
