Many of the people we work with stay in rotation across multiple productions because they are reliable, thoughtful, and strong under pressure.\nWhat We Do\nScarab Digital designs and builds on-screen graphics for film and television; everything from phone interfaces, text conversations, social feeds, and laptop systems to broadcast graphics, surveillance visuals, radar systems, and speculative UI/FUI.\nThese graphics are not decorative. They need to read instantly, feel true to the world, and help propel the story forward on screen.\nWhat You’ll Own End-To-End\nRead scripts, make break-downs, identify all on-screen graphic needs\nTranslate production needs into clear scopes, timelines, staffing plans, and budgets\nBuild strong creative briefs that give designers everything they need to execute properly\nAttend internal and client/production calls and turn ambiguous conversations into actionable next steps\nCoordinate directly with production, clients, and other departments to gather assets, approvals, and missing information\nAssign the right number of artists with the right skill mix as work evolves\nTrack budgets, schedules, revision cycles, and risk points across multiple builds\nReview work for story alignment, clarity, continuity, and readiness before it goes out\nSubmit work for clearance and approval, gather feedback, and communicate direction back to designers clearly and constructively\nKeep everything moving on time, on budget, and at a high standard through constant change\nSome hands-on design ability is a requirement.\nYou’ll Thrive Here If\nYou take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks\nYou can hear/see a messy brief and turn it into a clear plan\nYou protect budget and schedule without flattening the creative (always striving to take creative from good to great!)\nYou communicate with calm, precision, and follow-through especially under pressure\nYou’re comfortable being the connective tissue between production, clients, and designers\nYou understand the difference between “done” and actually ready, with a clear understanding of how the graphics will play in an on-set environment\nYou know how to work with different personalities and get the best out of them\nThis Role Is Probably NOT A Fit If\nYou prefer to be given a fully defined plan rather than creating one\nYou avoid direct communication when things are unclear\nYou’re more comfortable with admin than with creative judgment\nYou prefer creative work but don’t enjoy budgets, staffing, or timelines\nCore Requirements\n3-7 years of experience in creative production, graphics coordination, motion graphics producing, post-production coordination, or similar\nExperience working in fast-paced environments with multiple stakeholders and shifting priorities\nStrong understanding of motion graphics/design workflows (briefs, assets, revisions, approvals, delivery)\nExcellent communication skills; able to translate between production and design clearly\nStrong budgeting, scheduling, and resource planning skills\nStrong attention to detail and quality control instincts\nConfidence running meetings and keeping people aligned without creating noise\nExperience with tools like Wrike, Illustrator, Protopie, or similar\nStrong Assets\nFilm or television production experience\nExperience with UI, FUI, or on-screen graphics\nA design or motion background that helps you understand the work deeply\nExperience reviewing work for story clarity and production readiness\nAbility to step in on a design task when needed\nHow We Work With Contractors\nThis is freelance contract work, not a full-time role.\nWork is typically remote, with in-studio space for collaboration available.\nProjects ebb and flow, but this posting is tied to real work and real demand.\nWhen someone consistently adds value here, we prioritize working with them again and again. Many of our contractors we have been working with on a variety of projects for years. .\nApplication Process\nWe use a short written screen to understand how you think, plan, and communicate.\nSelected applicants may be invited to:\na CliftonStrengths assessment\nan in-person interview\nWe keep the process focused and respectful of your time.\nFinal Note\nThis role matters because it protects the creative from chaos without slowing the work down.\nWe’re looking for someone who can:\ncreate clarity\nearn trust\nraise the experience level of the entire process for Production and Designers\nIf that’s how you work, we’d like to hear from you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5611,"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":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T13:35:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.244,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":175,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/scarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/scarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T23:38:33Z","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":32359,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"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":4420437},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4420437"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fscarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor"},{"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%2Fscarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor"},{"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%2Fscarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor"},{"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/scarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fscarabdigital-graphics-coordinator-independent-contractor"}]}
