Who We Are

Summit Strategy is a is a win studio for growth-obsessed teams. We help our B2G + B2B clients connect their business development, capture, proposals, brand, marketing, and team training into one integrated growth engine - so they can stop reacting and start winning.

Our team is fully remote, highly experienced, and deeply embedded in the industries we serve. We’re intentionally lean and self-funded, which means less bureaucracy, clearer ownership, and real autonomy for people to do their best work.

We’re not a traditional corporate environment. We operate as a small, high-performing consulting team that values good judgment, collaboration, and follow-through. We’re building thoughtfully as we scale.

Our Core Values

We have a growth mindset | We’re better together | We’re comfortable with the uncomfortable | We get it done | We have fun

Who You Are

You’re a skilled graphic designer in the GovCon space who understands that good design isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about clarity, compliance, and storytelling. You’re comfortable working within structured proposal environments while still bringing creativity, polish, and visual cohesion to complex content.

If your experience is limited to purely creative or consumer-facing design without exposure to structured, compliance-driven government documents, this role may not be the right fit.

Who You’ll Serve

Summit’s B2G clients range from small business to large enterprise, so our team members adapt to the clients’ spectrum of maturity, needs, goals, and preferences. Many are federal government contractors selling professional services, often in the tech/cyber space. Others are AEC firms going after state/local contracts in sectors like power and energy, transportation, heavy civil engineering, and construction.

Some engagements are solo: just you and our client contact, getting it done. Others are collaborative, working alongside Summit teammates who serve the same client on BD, marketing, brand, proposals, or team training - especially our retainer clients, who have deep, integrated, multi-year engagements with us.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support proposal and marketing efforts for clients across AEC, federal, and professional services markets, with a strong emphasis on proposal-ready layouts and graphics that meet strict formatting and compliance requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

Design and format proposal templates, layouts, and graphics that are compliance-friendly and submission-ready

Create proposal visuals like infographics, charts, diagrams, timelines, and process flows

Support document production in Adobe InDesign + Illustrator, Microsoft Word + PowerPoint

Support brand and marketing deliverables such as presentations, brochures, capability statements, SOQs, brand identity assets, websites, and other promotional materials.

Manage your own deadlines and deliverables in coordination with pursuit schedules

Revise and refine designs based on review comments and evolving requirements

This role involves project-based collaboration, no people management or supervisory authority.

What You’ll Bring

3+ years of professional graphic design experience in the B2G space

Demonstrated experience supporting proposal/RFx docs + long-form client deliverables

Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat)

Proficiency in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (styles, templates, section breaks, etc)
