From the employer

OVERVIEW Opendorse is the leader in athlete influencer marketing and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, connecting brands and athletes to build meaningful partnerships at scale. To continue growing and expanding our impact, we're looking for a talented, detail-oriented designer for a part-time, temporary role to help tell our story visually — and the story of the athletes we serve. As Canva Designer , you'll own the visual execution and brand integrity of Opendorse's presentations, marketing materials, and creative assets across two brand systems: our core Opendorse brand and Opendorse One™ (OD1). You'll build original decks and creative work and serve as the team's design quality checkpoint — reviewing work built by non-designer teammates against brand standards while exercising the creative judgment that no AI-checklist can replace.
