With a presence across 110+ countries and 90+ city hubs, we exist to break silos and turn climate ambition into action.

As our ecosystem continues to grow, we're looking for a creative, detail-oriented Graphic Design Specialist (Volunteer) to help us show up visually in a way that reflects the scale, energy, and ambition of what we're building -- across city events, social media, marketing campaigns, and everything in between.

🎨 Create event promotional graphics for city leads across 90+ cities globally 📱 Design assets optimised for WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Luma event pages 🌍 Adapt templates for different cities, topics, and formats while keeping brand consistency ⚡ Turn around event graphics quickly so city leads always have what they need on time

Support our marketing team with a steady supply of on-brand visuals across campaigns and channels.

You will:

📣 Design social media graphics for LinkedIn, Instagram, and other platforms 📬 Create email header images, banner graphics, and newsletter visuals 🖼️ Produce promotional assets for partnerships, announcements, and ecosystem highlights 🧩 Build reusable templates that make content production faster across the team

3️⃣ Maintain and Strengthen Our Visual Brand

Be the guardian of how 4WARD looks to the world.

You will:

🧭 Apply our brand guidelines consistently across all design outputs ✨ Bring fresh visual ideas while staying true to our brand identity and tone 🗂️ Organise and maintain a shared library of brand assets, templates, and finished files 🤝 Collaborate with marketing, events, and city lead teams to understand what's needed and deliver it well

🌟 What You'll Gain

🌱 A front-row seat to the global climate and sustainability ecosystem 🤝 Direct collaboration with 4WARD's marketing team, city leads, and leadership across 90+ cities 🎨 Creative freedom to shape how a global climate brand looks and feels 🌍 Exposure to founders, investors, policymakers, and operators across sectors and geographies ⏳ A real path to grow into a senior design or creative lead role as we scale

Strong working knowledge of Canva, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar tools

Experience designing for social media, events, or marketing campaigns

An eye for layout, typography, colour, and visual hierarchy

Ability to work within brand guidelines while bringing fresh creative energy

Key Skills & Qualities:

🎨 Creative: Strong design instincts and an eye for what looks good and why ⚡ Fast: Comfortable turning around assets quickly without sacrificing quality 🧩 Systematic: Thinks in templates and systems, not just one-off designs 🌍 Mission-driven: Genuinely curious about climate, sustainability, and impact 🤝 Collaborative: Works well with non-designers and takes feedback constructively

💚 Fellowship Benefits

While this is an unpaid volunteer role, it offers:

Hands-on experience designing for a global climate organisation across multiple channels and formats
