About The Position

AKQA is seeking a freelance Senior Designer to support a nationally recognized financial brand on a digital campaign for a credit card launch. This is a brand and campaign design role—not a product design role—requiring strong conceptual thinking and a refined aesthetic. The designer will take campaign ideas from concept through final execution, creating polished work across digital channels and touchpoints.

The role involves working across a full campaign system, adapting assets to different formats, sizes, and placements while maintaining a cohesive creative idea and high standard of craft. The Senior Designer will collaborate with creative leads, strategists, copywriters, and other team members to deliver work that is aligned with the brief and elevates the brand.

The position is remote within the United States, with availability required during core U.S. Eastern Time business hours. The commitment is 40 hours per week, from ASAP through December 31, 2026. Expected weekly compensation is $2,600 to $3,000.

Requirements

• A compelling portfolio demonstrating big-brand campaign work, smart ideas, and strong aesthetic and craft.
• Experience and sensibility as a brand and campaign designer, grounded in ideas, storytelling, and visual excellence rather than product or UX design.
• Senior creative sensibility, balancing concept and craft and maintaining a high bar for the look and feel of the work.
• Comfort working across a full campaign system, from concept development through production-ready assets.
• Strong instincts for how campaigns work across multiple digital formats, channels, and placements.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Collaborative, receptive to feedback, and motivated to deliver smart, beautiful work.
• Must be available during core business hours in U.S. Eastern Time.

Responsibilities

• Develop memorable campaign concepts and translate them into crafted work across digital channels and touchpoints.
• Design and adapt campaign assets across formats, sizes, and placements while maintaining a consistent aesthetic standard.
• Ensure each deliverable contributes to a cohesive campaign idea through strong conceptual thinking and visual craft.
• Produce polished, delivery-ready assets when production-level execution is required.
• Collaborate with creative leads, strategists, copywriters, and other team members to align work with the brief and elevate the brand.
