- Develop and maintain brand guidelines and create high-quality visual content, including brand graphics, illustrations, and digital assets for our website, social media, email campaigns, and developer-focused platforms
- Create and oversee visual assets for marketing campaigns, web experiences, product interfaces, conference materials, presentations, and experiential marketing
- Craft visual narratives that communicate Apollo's story, mission, and value proposition effectively to technical and business audiences
- Collaborate with internal teams and external partners on integrated marketing initiatives, playing a pivotal role in crafting innovative campaigns that address real API pain points
- Stay at the cutting edge of design trends within the developer tools, API, and broader technology space, bringing fresh, opinionated perspectives on brand development that authentically connect with builder culture
