Senior Marketing & Design Associate

Role: Senior Marketing & Design Associate

Location: New York, NY (Hybrid, 3x a week in the office)
Team: Marketing
Reports to: Director of Marketing

Portfolio Required – must demonstrate strong visual craft across a range of formats (presentations, sales collateral, marketing assets). 

We’re looking for a design-led marketer with an ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, startup or agency environments and enjoys owning design execution across multiple workstreams.

You’ll serve as the primary design partner for marketing and sales - owning the creation, iteration, and evolution of decks, presentations, and sales collateral that directly support revenue and business goals. While design is the core of this role, you’ll collaborate closely with marketing leadership on content, campaigns, and brand expression.

This position requires excellent design judgment, strong project ownership, and the ability to translate ideas into polished, on-brand assets under tight timelines. 

• Design and iterate on sales and marketing assets, including slide decks, presentations, one-pagers, templates, and internal materials.
• Own visual execution for sales collateral end-to-end, acting as the main point of contact for internal design needs.
• Ensure all work aligns with brand standards while continually raising the visual bar.
• Work closely with the Director of Marketing to maintain consistency, clarity, and quality.

• Deliver high-quality design work with fast turnaround times in a dynamic environment.
• Quickly iterate based on feedback from relationship managers/sales team, leadership, and other cross-functional partners.
• Balance speed and polish, knowing when to refine and when to move forward.

• Partner with Relationship Management/Sales, Product, Client Success, and Executive teams to support company-wide initiatives.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, bringing structure, organization, and momentum to your work.
• Translate business and marketing goals into clear, compelling visual narratives.

• Support marketing initiatives through light content editing and layout for campaigns, web pages, and sales enablement materials.
• Collaborate on campaign execution across email, presentations, and other marketing touchpoints.
• Experiment with new tools, including AI-powered design and marketing technologies, to streamline workflows and enhance creativity.

• 3–6 years of experience in design and/or marketing, ideally within a fast-paced startup or agency environment.
• Strong portfolio showcasing high-quality design across presentations, sales collateral, and marketing assets.
• Advanced proficiency with design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Exceptional attention to visual detail, hierarchy, and storytelling, especially in decks and presentations.
• Advanced project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally and incorporating feedback quickly and effectively.
• Experience with email or marketing automation platforms (Braze, HubSpot, Marketo, or similar) is a plus.
