Our client in the global professional services industry is looking for a talented and experienced Senior Graphic Designer to join their team on a remote, fractional basis.

• Develop both static and motion-based content, with a typical output being 50% static designs and 50% motion/animation (e.g., animated GIFs for social media).
• Contribute to creative design concepting for campaigns and work closely with a strategy copywriter to craft bold, standout ideas.
• Challenge briefs constructively and think beyond traditional B2B design approaches to ensure the creative output is engaging and differentiated.
• Adhere to brand guidelines while introducing fresh, innovative perspectives to help the brand evolve.
• Participate in weekly sync-ups with the team/team manager to manage workflow and ensure deliverables align with strategic goals.

• Proven experience in B2B graphic design, with a portfolio showcasing both traditional and motion-based design work.
• Expertise in creating content for campaigns and demand generation, including paid ads and digital assets.
• Strong skills in motion design/animation, especially for social media.
• Ability to work independently and manage your time effectively, with a flexible schedule to meet project demands.
• A proactive approach to creative challenges, with the confidence to push boundaries and bring fresh ideas to the table.
• Familiarity with Asana, Teams, HubSpot, Canva Pro, and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, etc.).
• Access to your own technology for design work (a client email address will be provided for communications).
• Flexible to participate in global client sync-ups, meetings, and follow-ups during varying times in the week (i.e., no set days, an organized team weekly call; available to answer questions during varying times of the day).
