Clutch Creative is a rapidly growing staffing agency. We support our clients by identifying unreachable talent that helps their businesses grow.

Our candidates work with us because they know we have the best opportunities available to them and will help them navigate their next career move.

We care, we're honest, and we hustle—that's what makes us Clutch.

We’re looking for a talented, highly conceptual Freelance Graphic Designer who is passionate about creating fun, engaging, and imaginative visual content. This isn't just a production role—we need a designer who loves to brainstorm, push creative boundaries, and transform basic concepts into stunning, surprising visuals that capture attention. You’ll be a key player in bringing our most exciting client campaigns to life.

This is an as-needed, remote contract position. Hours can range from full-time to project based

Key Responsibilities: The Fun Stuff

• Conceptual Design & Ideation: Take a creative brief and run with it! Brainstorm fresh, inventive visual concepts in collaboration with our Art Directors and Copywriters. You’ll be expected to bring your own original ideas to the table, not just execute instructions.
• Campaign Asset Creation: Design the core visual assets for integrated campaigns that are truly fun to look at, including:
• High-Impact Social Media Graphics: Design engaging content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X that encourages interaction and sharing.
• Digital & Web Visuals: Create memorable banner ads, landing page heroes, and email templates.
• Creative Print & OOH: Design striking visuals for billboards, posters, packaging, and experiential materials.
• Dynamic Presentations: Design pitch decks and presentations that wow clients and internal teams.
• Visual Storytelling: Use typography, illustration, photography, and motion graphics (if applicable) to develop visuals that are on-brand, on-message, and full of personality.
• Production Excellence: Prepare and deliver impeccable, production-ready files (digital, print, or motion) efficiently and accurately.
• Creative Collaboration: Proactively participate in creative critiques and contribute to a fast-paced, enthusiastic team environment.

Skills and Qualifications: What You Bring

• A Portfolio that Wows: You must have a strong online portfolio that clearly demonstrates conceptual thinking, versatility, and highly creative execution across various media. Show us the fun work!
• Design Expertise: Expert proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) is mandatory. Experience with animation (After Effects) or prototyping (Figma) is a huge advantage.
• Conceptual Strength: A passion for translating marketing objectives into clever, unexpected visual solutions. You can think outside the brand guidelines while respecting the core identity.
• Attention to Detail: You’re meticulous about everything from file setup and resolution to color accuracy and kerning.
• The Freelance Mindset: You are reliable, communicate proactively, manage your deadlines independently, and are comfortable receiving constructive feedback and iterating quickly.
