About The Role

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a talented Graphic Designer to help elevate our marketing collateral and ensure every touchpoint reflects our premium brand.

We're seeking a creative, detail-oriented Graphic Designer to join our team on a part-time basis (approximately 20 hours per week). You'll be responsible for producing high-quality marketing assets that promote our city summits while maintaining a consistent, polished visual identity. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working from established brand systems, and can deliver polished work with quick turnaround times.
