• Design capability statements, one-pagers, fact sheets, trade show materials, recruitment campaign assets, newsletters, event graphics, social media content, and other branded collateral.
• Create graphics for websites, blogs, email campaigns, LinkedIn content, and light multimedia needs while staying current with design trends, AI-assisted design tools, and GovCon marketing best practices.
• Support visual updates, formatting, file preparation, and production tasks for proposals, executive briefings, marketing campaigns, internal communications, and in-person or virtual events.
• Maintain visual consistency across materials and ensure all work aligns with Aretum brand standards and stakeholder direction.
• Organize design files, reusable assets, templates, icons, and graphic resources to improve consistency and production efficiency.
• Conduct quality reviews, incorporate stakeholder feedback, and deliver accurate, polished final files under tight deadlines.
• Partner with internal stakeholders to advise on visual hierarchy, presentation quality, and effective visual storytelling.
