Senior Graphic Designer

Remote-Friendly, But US-Hours Anchored: This role is 100% home-based, which is great for location-independent workers — however, work hours are aligned with standard US business hours
. That means UTC-5 to UTC-8 roughly, limiting true async flexibility. If you're in Medellín (UTC-5), Manila (UTC+8), or Buenos Aires (UTC-3), your overlap with US hours varies significantly.

• Colombia / Medellín (UTC-5): Nearly perfect timezone alignment with US Eastern hours. Very popular nomad hub with low cost of living (~$1,200-$1,800/month comfortably). Excellent fit for this role.
• Philippines / Manila (UTC+8): A 12-13 hour gap from US Pacific time makes synchronous collaboration challenging. Early morning starts (9-11 PM local) would be required for overlap.
• Argentina / Buenos Aires (UTC-3): Only 2 hours ahead of US Eastern - solid overlap. Buenos Aires offers a vibrant creative scene and low costs (~$1,000-$1,500/month).

Visa Considerations: Colombia offers a Digital Nomad Visa (Nómada Digital) valid up to 2 years. Argentina has a "Rentista" visa option for remote workers. Mexico's Temporary Resident Visa is popular and renewable. Philippines residents may simply work locally without a special visa as contractors.

No travel-specific perks (coworking stipend, equipment budget) are explicitly mentioned, so factor in your own workspace costs. The contractor structure gives you flexibility to manage your own tax and legal setup per country.

Neo Work is seeking an experienced Senior Graphic Designer to join one of our client teams as a remote contractor. You will lead visual direction for the client's own brand and a portfolio of the brands it serves, set the standard for design quality across every channel, and provide guidance to other designers on the team.

You will partner with the client's marketing and production teams to turn business goals into compelling visual work, from campaign concepts and brand systems to social content, print collateral, and simple animated content.

• Creative Direction and Concept Development: Lead visual concepts for the client's brand and the brands it serves, from brief to final delivery. Turn briefs and business goals into clear creative strategies for campaigns, product launches, and brand initiatives.

• Design Leadership: Review the work of junior and mid-level designers and give clear, actionable feedback. Help establish design standards, workflows, and best practices for the creative team.
• Collaboration: Work with marketing, production, and client stakeholders to define project requirements, present concepts, and defend design decisions. Manage feedback and drive projects to approval.
• Basic Animation and Video Support: Create GIFs, simple animated social assets, and basic short-form videos, keeping styling consistent with static work.
• Project Management and Quality Control: Manage multiple projects and deadlines without compromising quality. Review all outgoing creative for accuracy and brand alignment, and keep the design asset library and file naming organized.

This role is project-driven. Work is organized around deliverables and deadlines, with regular coordination alongside the marketing and production teams to align on weekly priorities. Typical work includes:

• Design work:
  Build campaign concepts, social graphics, and other assets across the brands you support.

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Multimedia Design, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
• 5+ years of professional graphic design experience, preferably in a creative agency, marketing team, or in-house brand team.
• A strong portfolio showing brand identity work, campaign design, and a range of digital and print projects you led end to end.
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite…
