Employment Type: Full-time | Remote

We’re on the lookout for a creative storyteller and strategic thinker who can design compelling pitch decks, one-pagers, and brand presentations that drive brand and product narratives forward. We’re looking for someone with a strong understanding of visual communication, packaging structure, and graphic design principles to support strategy, research, and design direction through visual presentations.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Design & Visual Storytelling

  • Create high-impact pitch decks, one-pagers, and brand presentations for internal strategy and external pitches
  • Convert data, insights, and strategic direction into visually compelling and persuasive narratives
  • Organize and visualize research, trend reports, and competitive insights in a clear and branded format
  • Provide visual structure and flow to complex ideas and business strategies

 Design Knowledge & Creative Direction

  • Demonstrate strong understanding of graphic design and packaging principles to guide deck visuals
  • Use knowledge of layout, typography, hierarchy, and brand systems to elevate the quality of visual storytelling
  • Collaborate with creative and marketing teams by offering research-backed visual references and design support
  • Source relevant inspiration, examples, and competitor visuals to inform pitch deck and planning documents

 Research, Strategy & Market Planning

  • Support go-to-market planning with visual presentations and content structuring
  • Analyze brand/market research and turn strategic findings into visual direction

 You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

  • Have a strong portfolio that showcases high-quality pitch decks, marketing visuals, or brand presentations
  • Understand the fundamentals of design, packaging, and visual communication, even if you're not hands-on designing
  • Are confident working independently — sourcing visuals, data, and competitive research without waiting for direction
  • Can structure a deck from scratch and refine visual flow for clarity and impact
  • Are comfortable collaborating across cross-functional teams: creative, marketing, product, and brand

 Tools We Use:

  • Presentation & Design: Google Slides, PowerPoint, Canva, Figma
  • Graphic & Visual Support: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign
  • AI & Productivity Tools: Gamma.app, Tome, Beautiful.ai, Notion AI, ChatGPT
