🚀 Role Summary

• Design and maintain high-impact presentation decks to support sales and partnership initiatives, crucial for GTM strategy execution.

• Create mockups and visual representations of proposed campaigns, partnerships, and sponsorships for client-facing concepts.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with the Sales and Partnerships teams to gather requirements, incorporate feedback, and adapt designs to specific client needs and pitch objectives.

• Organize and manage presentation assets, templates, and source files for efficient updates and reuse, supporting operational efficiency.

• Support the creative team with design and asset production for Evo events and other RTS projects, including templated digital assets.

• Adapt existing creative systems and templates to efficiently produce polished, consistent assets for high-volume needs like broadcast graphics and YouTube thumbnails.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities highlight a strong emphasis on visual storytelling for sales enablement and partnership development. The mention of "data" and "information-heavy content" suggests a need for designers who can interpret and present quantitative information effectively, a key skill in operations-adjacent roles.
