Proposal Layout Designer / Canva Specialist for AI Training & Consulting Bids

We are looking for a reliable proposal layout designer to help us turn drafted proposal content into polished, professional bid submissions.

We are a small AI training, advisory, and implementation firm. We respond to RFPs, speaker opportunities, consulting opportunities, and organizational training bids. Our proposals are usually drafted first in Google Docs, then need to be laid out in Canva using our established proposal style.

This is not a one time design overhaul. We are looking for someone we can return to on a regular basis as new bids come up.

WHAT WE NEED

For each proposal, we would provide:

* A Google Doc with the proposal content

* The RFP or bid requirements, when available

* Existing proposal examples showing the style we want to maintain

* Brand guidance, including fonts, colors, spacing, tone, and visual preferences

* Any required submission instructions or forms

You would help with:

* Laying out the proposal in Canva using our existing visual style

* Creating clean, readable pages that feel premium, restrained, and professional

* Improving hierarchy, spacing, flow, and page organization

* Making long proposal content easier to scan without making it look crowded

* Creating or adapting simple tables, timelines, workplans, pricing pages, and section dividers

* Maintaining consistency with our existing proposal examples

* Exporting final PDFs

* Providing the editable Canva file or template link

PROPOSAL SUPPORT

A helpful additional skill would be the ability to review the RFP or bid requirements and flag anything that appears missing, unclear, or potentially non-compliant.

This does not need to be a full legal or procurement compliance review. We already use other tools and internal review for that. But we would value someone who can notice issues such as:

* A required section is missing

* A question has not been answered directly

* A page limit, format requirement, deadline, or attachment requirement may have been overlooked

* The proposal structure does not clearly match the buyer’s requested criteria

* A required pricing, timeline, staffing, or qualifications item needs to be easier to find

IDEAL FIT

You would be a strong fit if you:

* Have experience laying out business proposals, RFP responses, pitch decks, consulting proposals, or professional services documents

* Are highly skilled in Canva

* Have strong judgment about readability, spacing, hierarchy, and page flow

* Understand that professional proposals need to be clear and persuasive, not just attractive

TYPICAL PROJECT SIZE

Most proposals are approximately 8 to 25 pages after layout, depending on the opportunity.
