Creative Digital Designer (Independent Contractor)

We’re looking for a highly skilled independent digital designer to collaborate with the BlueMagnet team across a range of client projects. This role is suited to designers who are comfortable working in performance-driven, digital-first environments, where design must support strategy, usability, and measurable outcomes.

You’ll be working across social media design, landing pages, email layouts, digital brand assets, and front-end web builds, collaborating closely with SEO, marketing, and development specialists to ensure design outputs align with platform requirements and campaign objectives.

This is a remote, contract-based role, with flexible engagement depending on project needs.

Digital & Social Design (Required)

• Design high-quality digital assets for social media platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and paid media campaigns.
• Create static and light-motion social content such as posts, carousels, banners, thumbnails, and basic video layouts.
• Ensure all assets meet platform-specific specifications, ratios, safe zones, and file requirements.
• Design visual systems that scale across campaigns while maintaining brand consistency.

Web, Landing Page & Email Design

• Design layouts for websites, landing pages, and campaign-specific microsites with a strong focus on usability and clarity.
• Build or assist with front-end implementation using WordPress page builders such as Divi or Elementor.
• Design responsive email templates for marketing campaigns, newsletters, and automated workflows.
• Work within existing brand guidelines or assist in evolving digital brand systems where required.

Design for Performance & Collaboration

• Translate strategy, briefs, and data-driven insights into effective visual concepts.
• Collaborate with SEO, paid media, and marketing teams to ensure designs support conversion goals and content performance.
• Prepare clean design handovers for developers where required, with attention to responsiveness and scalability.
• Apply best practices for digital accessibility, hierarchy, and user-focused design.

Asset Management & Iteration

• Maintain organised design files and version control across projects.
• Adapt and refine designs based on performance feedback, testing insights, or platform changes.
• Support ongoing optimisation through design updates aligned with campaign results.

Experience & Skills Required

• 3+ years’ professional experience in digital or graphic design.
• Experience with mobile-first and responsive design adaptions.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating social, web, and digital brand design work.
• Proficiency with Canva (required) and at least one professional design tool (Adobe Suite or Figma).
• Solid understanding of platform-specific design requirements across social, web, and email.
• Experience working in WordPress environments, particularly with page builders.
• Ability to manage multiple deliverables independently in a remote setting.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to interpret briefs accurately.

Bonus Skills (Beneficial)

• Experience with light motion design or short-form video layouts.
• Familiarity with conversion-focused design principles for landing pages.
• Experience collaborating with SEO or performance marketing teams.
• Understanding of responsive design, UX fundamentals, and accessibility best practices.
• Experience with AI-assisted design workflows and tools.

Ideal Candidate

You are a digital-first designer who understands that good design is not just visual – it must work across platforms, support strategy, and deliver results. You’re comfortable moving between creative concepting and practical execution, whether that’s designing a social campaign, building a landing page layout, or refining assets based on performance feedback.

You take ownership of your work, communicate clearly, and thrive in a collaborative, specialist-led environment.
