About The Position

Quatrain Creative is seeking senior-level graphic designers for long-term freelance partnerships. This is a remote, per-project freelance opportunity with a primary focus on long-form content design, including ebooks, whitepapers, guides, and case studies, with occasional one-pagers or infographics.

Reliability, proactive communication, and consistent adherence to deadlines are essential. Please include samples of relevant design work (ebooks, annual reports, case studies, etc.) along with your full portfolio PDF or URL. Only applications that include a portfolio with relevant examples will be considered. Due to cyclical hiring needs, this is a standing posting. While we review every application, we’ll reach out as project needs arise.
