ABOUT RELENTLESS

Relentless builds technology and programs to activate low-turnout voters and unlock political power. Our core program, the Rally Organizing model, is a civic education, persuasion, and mobilization program that compensates low-turnout voters for their time as they become Voting Ambassadors in their communities. Rally, Relentless’s flagship platform, allows campaigns and organizations to relationally organize at scale, resolve fractured and anonymized identities across online communities, and build progressive digital infrastructure that meets the moment we’re in.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Visual Content Designer is a full-time role for a designer who's ready to make the visuals that bring our organizing programs to life. You'll create the participant-facing visual content across Relentless programs — slide decks, graphics, and toolkits — that tens of thousands of people see, use, and share as they learn about upcoming elections and mobilize their friends and family to vote.

You have a strong eye for detail, can work quickly, and are creatively flexible. You're comfortable working from templates and brand guidelines to keep a consistent look across a lot of material. Most of this content is program-facing, so you're at home making things people will actually post and share. If you move easily between different kinds of design work, take feedback well, and are excited to work on a variety of projects, this role is built for you.

This is a full-time cycle role with an end date of November 15th, 2026.
