Senior Communications Designer
About The Position
The Senior Communications Designer leads visual design and storytelling across new business development, marketing and communications initiatives. This role is responsible for developing high-impact pitch decks, proposal collateral, capabilities presentations and branded marketing materials that support company growth and strengthen Miles Partnership's market presence. Working closely with the SVP of New Business Development, proposal writers, marketing and communications teams and senior leaders across the organization, this role translates complex strategic narratives into clear, compelling visual communications. The Senior Communications Designer combines strong design craft with strategic thinking, balancing polished execution, operational discipline and thoughtful collaboration in fast-paced, high-visibility environments. The role also shapes how presentation systems, templates and visual frameworks evolve across Miles Partnership and affiliated brands. You'll join a small, high-performing team that says "yes" to new opportunities. We're close-knit and collaborative, and we hold ourselves and each other to a high bar. Our work has direct impact on the company's success, so we operate on performance, independence and initiative. Every project should be a little better than the last. We do work we're proud of, for a company and industry we're glad to be part of. AI is part of our team's operations, and we want someone fluent with the tools, but AI is a starting point, not the final output. We're looking for a designer who brings judgment, taste and craft on top of it: someone who knows what to prioritize, what to refine and where the human creative touch matters most. AI should make you faster and sharper, not do the thinking for you. The final work should feel custom and considered, not auto-generated.
