Responsibilities

• Brand consistency across the company. Take the existing brand kit (logos, vector files, palette) and turn it into a living system every team pulls from instead of recreating.
• Conference and event collateral. Booth graphics, pamphlet ad slots, sponsored-content placements, printed one-pagers, giveaway design.
• LinkedIn and written comms. Weekly cadence. The company is hiring aggressively; every post matters for recruiting. You'll own the voice, not outsource it to a bot.
• Swag. Hats, poker chips, t-shirts, and whatever the next conference calls for. Vendor relationships, ordering, inventory, design.
• Decks and proposal design. Partner with leadership on investor, customer, and government-facing materials so they feel like the brand, not Canva defaults.
• Cross-team design support. Be the person Growth and People Ops call when they need something done right the first time.

Requirements

• The company is open on years — this role can work for someone a year or two out of undergrad (an English / comms / design major from a strong school, hungry to prove themselves and grow toward a broader go-to-market role) or for a more experienced individual contributor who has been squeezed by how the market treats designers and writers right now and wants real ownership inside a mission-driven company.
• You can be in the Arlington office three days a week.
• Proficiency in Canva and Adobe Illustrator (or Figma/InDesign equivalents).
• You know when a layout is off even if you can't immediately say why.
• You work well with senior operators and with people who just need a t-shirt order placed — same energy for both.
• You can be in the Arlington office three days a week.
• command the written word — clean copy, sharp headlines

Preferred

• You use AI tools as an accelerator, not a crutch.
• Graphic-design instincts and strong opinions about typography.
• Experience with branding and event collateral.

Benefits

• base & benefits.
