The role collaborates closely with other internal groups including Business Development, Professional Development, Marketing, Product, and Investor Relations to transform complex business concepts into clear, visual narratives that that elevate understanding, strengthens the BMO's brand, and advances strategic priorities.

This is a strong opportunity for a visual designer with solid fundamentals, and high attention to detail to grow within a collaborative in-house team while contributing to work with meaningful visibility across the organization.

Hybrid: This position currently has a hybrid schedule, which requires contributing from the office a minimum of four days per week.

Creative Design

• 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
• 5+ years of experience in visual communication, presentation design, brand design, or multimedia design.
• 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.
