Canva Designer at Opendorse

Opendorse is a leading platform in athlete influencer marketing and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnerships, helping brands and athletes establish valuable relationships at scale.

As the company continues to grow and expand its reach, Opendorse is seeking a creative, detail-oriented designer for a part-time, temporary position to bring its brand and the stories of the athletes it supports to life through compelling visual content.

About the Role

As a Canva Designer, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality visual content across Opendorse’s two brand identities: its primary Opendorse brand and Opendorse One™ (OD1).

Your work will include developing original presentations, marketing materials, and other creative assets while ensuring consistency across all brand communications.

You will also act as the team’s design quality reviewer, evaluating materials created by colleagues without design backgrounds to ensure they meet established brand standards.

This role requires both technical design expertise and creative judgment to recognize when visual adjustments are needed beyond standard guidelines or automated quality checks.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Creative Production

• Create professional presentations, one-page documents, social media graphics, and other marketing materials using Canva for both Opendorse and Opendorse One™.
• Transform requests from marketing, sales, and leadership teams into visually appealing, polished, and brand-consistent designs.
• Develop and manage reusable Canva templates that enable team members to handle routine design requests independently.
• Produce visual assets to support marketing campaigns, content initiatives, and other company projects as required.

Brand Management & Quality Assurance

• Oversee and maintain the visual identity of both Opendorse brands, ensuring consistent use of color schemes, typography, logos, and spacing guidelines.
• Conduct final design reviews of presentations and marketing materials created by non-design team members, checking layout, formatting, logo placement, margins, colors, and overall brand consistency.
• Apply professional creative judgment when evaluating designs, making adjustments where necessary even when established guidelines or automated tools do not address every design consideration.
• Maintain familiarity with Opendorse’s internal AI-powered design quality assurance tools, built using Claude, and contribute to improving these systems as brand guidelines evolve.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communications, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• A strong portfolio showcasing presentation design, creative projects, and experience working with brand identity systems.
• Advanced proficiency in Canva, including tools such as background removal, image editing, charts, tables, graphics, and frames.
• Excellent understanding of typography, color combinations, spacing, and layout, with the creative ability to determine when established design rules should be adjusted to achieve better results.
• Experience developing and managing brand guidelines, Canva templates, or brand kits.
• Strong organizational and attention-to-detail skills, with the ability to handle multiple assignments and competing deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design tools and their application in creative production or quality assurance is an added advantage.
• Experience with Adobe Creative Cloud applications, including Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, is a plus.
