For more than a decade, our team of experienced writers, designers, and content strategists has worked with B2B brands across industries-from education to technology-to craft compelling blog posts, case studies, ebooks, videos, and more. Our values define everything we do, and we are deeply committed to a culture that is positive, transparent, collaborative, and grounded in trust. Our team members enjoy flexible schedules, family-friendly PTO policies, and true work-life balance.\nPosition Overview\nWe're looking for a hands-on Design Lead to own the quality and execution of our design work. You'll split your time between creating design work yourself and leading a small team of freelance designers. You'll develop creative briefs, review deliverables, and help ensure projects meet client expectations and high creative standards while staying on schedule and within budget. You will represent our design team in client meetings, confidently communicating with clients and leading design discussions. You'll also contribute to the evolution of our agency's website and internal creative processes.\nPlease note: This is not a branding, web, or marketing campaign design role. We specialize in designing content-heavy marketing assets for B2B companies, and we're looking for someone with deep experience creating polished, professional editorial-style marketing assets.\nOur ideal candidate has an exceptional portfolio featuring ebooks, guidebooks, white papers, case studies, sales collateral, slide decks, infographics, and other editorial-style marketing assets. Many of our projects are +20 pages and require expert typography, page layout, information hierarchy, and production skills in Adobe InDesign and PowerPoint.\n* If your experience is primarily in branding, UI/UX, websites, paid media, packaging, environmental design, illustration, or advertising campaigns, this role is likely not the right fit.\nCore Responsibilities\nProduce high-quality design work for multiple clients (approximately 50-70% of your time).\nDesign long-form marketing assets including ebooks, guidebooks, case studies, white papers, sales collateral, slide decks, and infographics with a strong emphasis on typography, layout, and readability.\nManage and mentor a small group of freelance designers.\nWrite creative briefs and translate client needs into actionable design direction.\nReview and provide feedback on design deliverables.\nAttend client meetings as the design lead and communicate creative decisions clearly.\nCoordinate design workflows and maintain consistency across projects.\nBuild and maintain internal style guides for each of our clients.\nImprove and maintain the agency website and other internal creative assets.\nHelp establish design standards, templates, and processes as the agency grows.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Graphic Design or related field.\n5+ years of professional graphic or digital design experience, preferably in an agency or client services environment.\nExperience leading or mentoring designers, freelancers, or creative teams.\nConfidence leading client meetings, advising clients on design direction, presenting creative work, and communicating design decisions to clients.\nExperience developing creative briefs and translating business goals into effective visual solutions.\nStrong attention to detail and the ability to provide thoughtful, constructive design feedback.\nExcellent organization and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.\nProficiency with PowerPoint and Adobe Creative Cloud, with advanced knowledge of Adobe InDesign.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills.\nAbility to work independently in a remote environment with little direction or oversight.\nMust reside in Eastern or Central time zone and be available to work Eastern business hours.\nA portfolio is required and should demonstrate significant experience designing long-form, content-heavy marketing materials. We're specifically looking for work such as ebooks, guidebooks, white papers, case studies, sales sheets, slide decks, infographics, and other editorial-style business collateral. Experience focused primarily on branding, logos, websites, UI/UX, packaging, environmental graphics, or paid advertising does not align with the primary responsibilities of this role.\nBonus Qualifications\nExperience with web design and tools like Webflow\nExperience with PM tools like Monday, Asana, or Wrike\nExperience designing for B2B clients in tech or education\nBasic motion graphics experience\nBenefits\n$80,000/yr salary\nFlexible work schedule\nFully remote\n12 days of paid time off for federal/school holidays\nAnnual office closure from Christmas Eve to New Years Day\nUnlimited PTO after 90 days of employment\nHRA available after 90 days of employment","description_format":"text","description_chars":5004,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Creative Agencies","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T00:11:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.633,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":78,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/quatraincreative-design-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/quatraincreative-design-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T04:58:35Z","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":10752,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"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":694006},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=694006"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fquatraincreative-design-lead"},{"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%2Fquatraincreative-design-lead"},{"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%2Fquatraincreative-design-lead"},{"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/quatraincreative-design-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fquatraincreative-design-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":779358}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"quatraincreative.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":779358},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
