We build products that leverage AI agents to handle complex marketing analytics workflows for our customers and partners. We're AI-native in how we work as well as what we build: our team uses AI tools every day across marketing, sales, and product.\nRole Description\nWe're looking for a contract designer to shape how Newton Research shows up across every surface, from sales decks and trade show booths to email, landing pages, and merch. Just as important, you'll build the foundation that lets the rest of the company design well on its own: a design system written in markdown that AI design tools like Claude Design can read and apply consistently across the organization.\nThis role is for a designer who is excited about AI and already uses it in their daily practice for inspiration, image generation, and fast iteration. You'll own projects end-to-end, work closely with our marketing and go-to-market teams, and have real influence over how an AI-native company approaches marketing design as it scales.\nResponsibilities\nDesign Systems & AI Enablement\nBuild and maintain Newton's design system as structured markdown files covering brand principles, color, typography, layout, imagery, components, and usage rules, so AI design tools such as Claude Design can apply it directly.\nCreate templates and guidelines that let marketers, sellers, and other non-designers produce on-brand decks, one-pagers, and visuals on their own.\nTest the design system across tools and use cases, spot where outputs drift from the brand, and refine the source files to keep results consistent.\nDocument workflows and coach the team on getting high-quality results from AI design tools.\nDesign & Production\nDesign sales enablement materials: pitch decks, one-pagers, case studies, battle cards, and proposal templates.\nCreate trade show and event branding, including booth graphics, signage, banners, and printed collateral.\nDesign branded merchandise and swag.\nDesign email templates and landing pages in close collaboration with the marketing team.\nUse AI tools for concepting, moodboards, and image generation to move from brief to polished output quickly.\nCollaboration\nPartner with marketing, growth, and go-to-market teams to translate briefs into polished, on-brand visuals.\nManage multiple concurrent projects and deliver work on deadline without sacrificing quality.\nGive and receive feedback constructively, iterating quickly based on input from stakeholders.\nQualifications\n3+ years of design experience, with a portfolio that shows range across brand, marketing, and sales materials.\nHands-on experience using AI in your design work, including image generation (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, or similar), AI-assisted ideation, and AI design tools such as Claude Design. Please share examples with your application.\nExperience building or maintaining design systems or brand guidelines, and comfort writing them in markdown or another structured, text-based format.\nProficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, plus experience preparing files for print production (event graphics, signage, merchandise).\nComfort working independently in a remote-first environment with minimal hand-holding.\nStrong communicator who can articulate design decisions, incorporate feedback, and teach others to use the systems you build.\nExperience in B2B SaaS, adtech, or marketing technology is a bonus, not a requirement.\nEngagement: Part-time (20+ hours) contract, 3 month duration with option to extend, remote\nRate: $90-$115 per hour, based on experience\nBase Salary Range: $60,000-$80,000","description_format":"text","description_chars":3765,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Marketing Analytics & Attribution"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T22:02:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":170,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/newton-research-designer-contract","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/newton-research-designer-contract.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T15:42:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23566,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":679538},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=679538"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnewton-research-designer-contract"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnewton-research-designer-contract"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnewton-research-designer-contract"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/newton-research-designer-contract\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnewton-research-designer-contract"}]}
