Our mission at Les Nouvelles Recrues
We recruit you for who you are, not only for what's expected of you — and above all, we help you find THE role that fits YOU.
Today, we're recruiting an Senior Designer for our client, Chain of Events, the company behind the events where the people shaping technology actually meet — based in Paris.
About The Company
Chain of Events runs three summits, all in Paris, all within the same week:
Signal Week — the institutional summit for digital assets. Founded in 2019 as Paris Blockchain Week and elevated to Signal Week in 2026, it draws 10,000+ attendees from 100+ countries, roughly 70% of them C-suite. Its last edition convened 250+ banks and financial institutions, over $50T in assets under management, and 70 government officials and regulators — BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, BNY Mellon, Citi, the London Stock Exchange, ESMA and the European Commission among them. The thesis: TradFi and digital assets are no longer two industries but one financial system being rebuilt on shared rails.RAISE Summit — the AI summit for decision-makers. Launched in 2024, it has grown from 2,000 to 9,000+ attendees across three editions (80%+ C-level, from 76 countries), with 350+ speakers spanning AI infrastructure, enterprise adoption, agentic systems, sovereignty and policy. The 2026 edition at the Carrousel du Louvre featured Mark Cuban, Yann LeCun and Nelson Griggs (Nasdaq), plus the Versailles AI Gala, the RAISE Hackathon and RAISE the STAKES (1,100+ startup applications in 2026).MACHINA Summit — Europe's leading event dedicated to Physical AI: intelligence that acts on the real world through humanoids, industrial robotics, autonomous systems and next-generation human–machine interfaces. Its inaugural 2026 edition brought together the labs building humanoids and the enterprises deploying robotics at scale, with speakers from Google DeepMind, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, 1X, Apptronik and Agility Robotics. It's the fastest-moving brand in the portfolio, with the most white space ahead of it.
In July 2026, all three brands were acquired by Hyve Group, the global B2B events organiser behind Fintech Meetup, HLTH and Shoptalk. In July 2027, they'll converge on the Palais des Congrès during the exact same week.
Role Overview
Chain of Events is looking for a freelance Senior Designer to take the evolved RAISE Summit brand identity and roll it out across the full range of event collateral, reporting into the VP Marketing for RAISE and MACHINA and working hand in hand with the Senior Brand Designer who is leading the brand system. This is a hands-on role for a Figma expert who can turn a brand system into a complete, well-built suite of templates - reports, speaker banners, pitch decks, email headers - and keep the quality bar high at pace.
The brand has been evolved for 2027, with a new visual system and design system in build. Your job is to make it work everywhere: designing and building the templates the wider team will rely on all year, applying the system consistently across every format, and splitting the work with the Senior Brand Designer across RAISE and, where it makes sense, MACHINA - RAISE's sister summit for robotics and physical AI. You'll join a team that uses AI tools every day, and a designer who is comfortable with tools like Claude Code will have real room to shape how templates get built and automated.
Key Responsibilities
Templates & Collateral
Apply the evolved RAISE identity across the full collateral suite - reports, speaker banners, pitch and sponsor decks, email headers, social formats, and event templates.Build master templates in Figma with clean structure, auto layout, components, and variants, so the wider team can produce on-brand assets without design support.Design flagship pieces end to end, such as reports and sales decks, to set the standard for the rest of the suite.Prepare assets for the channels they live in - HubSpot email, LinkedIn and social, presentation tools, and print where needed.
Brand System Collaboration
Work closely with the Senior Brand Designer to agree priorities and split the template workload across RAISE and MACHINA.Feed back on the system as you apply it - spotting gaps, edge cases, and missing components - and help keep the Figma library organised and documented.Keep every output consistent with the brand guidelines for typography, colour, layout, and imagery.
AI & Design Tooling
Use AI tools across the design workflow - concepting, image generation and editing, resizing, and production - to move faster without compromising craft.Where you have the experience, help connect templates to the team's AI and code-based tooling (e.g. Claude Code, design tokens, automated asset generation), so standard materials can be produced with little or no design intervention.
Delivery & Handover
Manage a steady pipeline of template and asset requests from the marketing team, prioritising against campaign deadlines.Hand over a clean, documented template library at the end of the engagement, ready for the team to use through the 2027 editions.
Required Skills
Experience & Knowledge
Senior-level experience as a brand, digital, or communication designer, in-house or agency, with a strong portfolio of brand system and template work (indicative: 5+ years).Expert Figma skills: components, variants, auto layout, variables, and well-structured shared libraries.Proven experience rolling out a brand identity across a wide range of formats - decks, reports, email, social, and event materials.Strong typographic, layout, and editorial sense, with an eye for premium, understated brand work.Comfortable using AI tools as part of a professional design workflow.
Strongly Preferred
Experience building or maintaining design systems - tokens, component libraries, and documentation.Hands-on experience with Claude Code or similar AI-assisted build tools, for example turning Figma templates into code-based or automated outputs.
Working Style
Ambitious about quality - you want the template suite to be something the whole team is proud to use.Fast and organised, able to handle a high volume of formats without losing consistency.Easy-going and collaborative, and comfortable sharing and splitting work with another senior designer.Self-directed and reliable working remotely, with clear, proactive communication.Curious about technology and AI, and open to new ways of building design work.
Nice to Have
Motion or animation skills (e.g. After Effects, Figma prototyping, Lottie, or similar).3D modelling or rendering experience (e.g. Blender, Cinema 4D, Spline, or similar).Experience with events, conferences, or B2B technology brands.
