🏢 About Soluna

About This Role

As a Graphic Designer (Contract), you'll refine pitch decks, create marketing collateral, and ensure brand consistency across digital assets. Your work will directly support Soluna's communication with investors and clients, making complex ideas visually compelling.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start by checking emails and project updates, then prioritize tasks from the marketing team. You might spend the morning refining a pitch deck layout, followed by designing social graphics for a press release. Afternoon could involve updating a case study template, with quick turnaround feedback loops.

🎯 Who Soluna Is Looking For

  • Has a portfolio showcasing polished presentations, PDFs, and social media graphics, preferably for tech or energy brands.
  • Experienced in maintaining brand systems, with a sharp eye for typography and layout consistency.
  • Thrives in a remote, fast-paced environment, able to juggle multiple projects and tight deadlines.
  • Responsive and organized, with strong communication skills to collaborate with marketing and leadership teams.

📝 Tips for Applying to Soluna

2

Mention any experience with blockchain, renewable energy, or tech startups in your resume or cover letter.

3

Show how you've maintained brand consistency across multiple asset types (e.g., presentations, social media, PDFs).

4

Since the role is remote, emphasize your ability to work independently and communicate proactively.

Include a brief note on how you manage shifting priorities, perhaps with a specific example.
