Freelance Graphic Designer & Social Media Manager

We're 50

DEGREES, a digital & web agency. We're growing our work with engineering, maritime & defence businesses, and we're looking for a freelance Social Media Manager / Graphic Designer who genuinely gets that world.

We're looking for someone who understands what our clients actually do. Subsea systems, naval tech, precision engineering. It's detailed work, and the content needs to reflect that. If you can take complex, technical subjects and turn them into content that lands, you'll fit right in.

Building a content calendar, designing assets to fill it, or cutting a short video for a client launch should be well within your capabilities. If you can do all of it well, we want to hear from you.

Flexible contract role. Work from home, drop into the studio when it matters. We care about the work, not the clock.

• Design on-brand graphics, posts, stories & short‑form video for technical clients
• Edit basic video content (Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or similar)
• Turn complex engineering briefs into content that performs
• Track what's working, report on it & adjust
• Keep brand consistency tight across every channel

• Experience working with technical businesses. Engineering, maritime, defence or similar
• A technical education, or a track record working alongside technical firms
• The ability to understand engineering concepts & communicate them clearly
• A strong portfolio showing both social & design work
• Confident with the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) &/or Figma
• Basic video editing skills

Experience level is flexible. If you’re early in your career but your work is sharp & you know this sector, apply. If you’re seasoned, even better.
