About the Role
IMG is a leading global sports marketing agency specializing in media rights management, multi-channel content production and distribution, brand partnerships, strategic consulting, digital services, and event management. As part of TKO Group Holdings, Inc., IMG powers growth for more than 250 federations, associations, events, and teams worldwide.

The Senior Designer, Global Partnerships, will own the design development of commercial partnership proposals, RFPs, sales presentations, category decks, case studies, post-event reports, templates, and other partnership marketing materials. You will translate complex commercial strategies, audience insights, rights packages, data, and activation ideas into clear, persuasive visual narratives with strong hierarchy and editorial quality.

You will develop creative routes, cover options, visual territories, page layouts, and design systems that give each proposal a distinctive point of view while remaining practical to deliver. Working through the full Marketing Solutions process, you will interpret briefs, support content development, lead creative development, review and refine drafts, and deliver final editable and presentation-ready files.

Collaboration is key, as you will work closely with Brand Partnerships, sales, strategy, project management, research, rights-holder, and client teams to understand briefs, identify commercial stories, and guide visual direction. You will set and maintain high standards for grid, typography, spacing, image selection, colour, lock-ups, logo visibility, data visualisation, motion, and overall information density across every deliverable.

You will protect the clarity and consistency of decks or campaigns while responding constructively to feedback, distinguishing between essential content changes and design decisions affecting hierarchy, flow, and legibility. Using PowerPoint, Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, and other relevant tools, you will create polished, flexible, and easy-to-edit outputs, supporting motion, video, and interactive elements where they strengthen the story.

Additionally, you will help evolve team templates, toolkits, workflows, and ways of working to deliver consistent, high-quality work efficiently across regions and categories. Sharing design knowledge, giving thoughtful feedback, and supporting the development of other designers and project teams are also key responsibilities.

You will use AI and emerging creative technologies responsibly to accelerate exploration, improve storytelling, and increase efficiency while retaining human judgement and craft. Managing multiple projects and priorities across a global team, you will remain organised, calm, and detail-focused while working to tight pitch, client, and submission deadlines.

Presenting and explaining creative thinking confidently, both internally and externally, you will use design rationale to help stakeholders make informed decisions.

Experience
6+ years in presentation design, graphic design, brand design, or creative communications, ideally within sport, entertainment, agency, sponsorship, media, or commercial marketing environments. A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality commercial presentations, pitch design, editorial storytelling, brand systems, data-led communications, and/or partnership marketing work. Proven ability to translate business or marketing strategy into clear, engaging visual narratives supporting commercial outcomes.

Advanced proficiency in PowerPoint and/or Canva, alongside strong Adobe Creative Suite skills (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects). Strong typography, layout, visual hierarchy, image curation, and information-design skills with exceptional attention to detail. Experience working with brand guidelines, rights-holder and partner IP, logo lock-ups, image permissions, and design systems across multiple deliverables. Comfortable designing for presentations and digital formats; motion, video, Figma, or interactive design experience is advantageous. Experience using AI or emerging creative tools thoughtfully as part of a quality-led design process.

About you
You are a designer first: creatively ambitious, commercially aware, and motivated by making complex ideas simple, compelling, and memorable. A natural visual storyteller who understands how composition, typography, imagery, data, and motion combine to create persuasive partnership narratives. You have exceptional craft and a sharp eye for detail without losing sight of the audience, brief, or commercial objective.

You are confident developing a point of view, presenting your work, and constructively challenging feedback when it compromises clarity, consistency, or quality. Highly organised, able to move between strategic thinking, hands-on design, stakeholder collaboration, and final production without losing momentum. Calm and solutions-focused under pressure, with the judgement to prioritise what matters when deadlines are tight. Collaborative and generous with knowledge, comfortable working as part of a distributed global team. Curious about sport, culture, brands, technology, and emerging creative practices, actively seeking better ways to tell stories.

Qualifications
Strong interpersonal and leadership skills with the ability to mentor and guide other creatives, build effective relationships across the business, and develop towards future people-management responsibilities. Familiarity with workflow and project management tools such as Asana and an understanding of structured task-tracking processes. Success at IMG is driven by core competencies including Business Acumen, Operational Excellence, Innovation Mindset, and Leadership & Collaboration.
