Job Description
Proposals Creative Design Lead at Aptive focused on managing proposal graphics and improving visuals in federal consulting. Overseeing design processes for compelling, compliant responses.
Responsibilities:
- Own the proposal graphics operating model: Manage the end-to-end process for graphics intake, prioritization, concepting, reviews, version control, finalization, storage, reuse, and post-submission improvement.
- Build and govern the graphics library: Create and maintain a searchable, reusable library of editable graphics, templates, icons, visual frameworks, PowerPoint/Word layouts, usage guidance, metadata, and approved source files.
- Improve proposal visual storytelling: Partner with capture, proposal, solution, and delivery teams to translate complex ideas into clear, persuasive visuals, including workflows, staffing models, transition plans, governance structures, differentiators, and management approaches.
- Produce high-quality proposal graphics: Develop graphics, oral presentation visuals, layouts, and other design assets that are compliant, brand-aligned, submission-ready, and tailored to federal client requirements.
- Enable AI-supported graphics workflows: Evaluate, implement, and refine AI-enabled tools and practices that accelerate ideation, first-draft visuals, asset discovery, template adaptation, formatting, and quality checks while maintaining appropriate human review.
- Establish standards and guardrails: Define visual design standards, brand expectations, review practices, and responsible AI use guidelines, including accuracy, originality, copyright/IP, client sensitivity, and compliance considerations.
- Train and support proposal teams: Create easy-to-use tools, examples, checklists, and guidance so proposal managers, writers, capture leads, and solution architects can request, review, adapt, and reuse graphics effectively.
- Drive continuous improvement: Use proposal lessons learned, team feedback, and usage data to improve templates, visual patterns, library content, workflows, and adoption over time.
- Support proposal production: Assist with desktop publishing, final formatting, quality reviews, file naming, file maintenance, version control, and deadline-driven production needs when required.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of graphic design experience, including federal proposals and presentations.
- Bachelor’s degree or major in Graphic Design, Visual Communications, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
- Advanced proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office; experience with proposal production and desktop publishing tools.
- Experience building or managing reusable design assets, templates, graphics libraries, brand systems, or visual standards.
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical, operational, or management concepts into clear visual stories.
- Experience creating processes, standards, training materials, or enablement resources for non-design users.
- Familiarity with AI-enabled design, productivity, or content-generation tools and sound judgment about responsible use.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States.
