Job description

Social-First Graphic Designer Wanted Part-Time at Leading Healthcare Org

Pay range: $54 to $59 per hour

Are You the Missing Piece?

If you can turn a static graphic into a scroll-stopping Reel, resize a campaign across six platforms before your coffee gets cold, and spot a typography mishap from a mile away, keep reading!

A leading healthcare organization is on the hunt for a part-time, social-savvy Graphic Designer who can crank out polished, on-brand creative at the speed of the internet. We’re talking social posts, animated Stories, Reels, Shorts, email graphics, web assets, and event promotions. If Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects are your happy place, and you love making great creative even better, this gig has your name written all over it.

This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-it-done production gig for someone who genuinely loves the craft. One minute you’re animating a social graphic in After Effects; the next you’re adapting a campaign for email, tweaking typography for mobile, or incorporating last-minute feedback before launch. If you thrive on variety, move fast without sacrificing the details, and get a little thrill from hitting “export” on a beautifully executed design, this is definitely for you.

This is a part-time (20 hours per week) contract role working around 8 am until noon Eastern.

What’s it going to take to score an interview?

• You’re a production design powerhouse. Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud are second nature, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. You know how to take existing creative and turn it into polished, production-ready assets.
• You’ve got motion in your toolkit. You’re highly adept at creating animated graphics for Instagram Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms. We’re not looking for a Hollywood animator, but hands-on After Effects experience is a must.
• You know how to stop the scroll. You’ve got a portfolio packed with social-first, digital, and motion creative that proves you understand what works on different platforms and how to grab attention in a split second.
• You’re a master of the resize, rework, and repurpose. One campaign, a dozen formats? No sweat. You can adapt creative across social, email, web, and event materials quickly and consistently without compromising quality.
• The devil’s in the details, and you love the details. Typography, hierarchy, spacing, alignment, mobile legibility, platform safe zones. You notice the little things that turn good design into great execution.
• Brand guidelines are your guardrails, not your enemy. You’re comfortable working within an established visual identity, following creative direction, and maintaining consistency across every asset. This is about flawless execution, not reinventing the wheel.
• You’re fast, flexible, and feedback-friendly. Multiple deadlines? Shifting priorities? Another round of revisions? You’ve got this. You can juggle high-volume requests, communicate proactively, and keep the creative train moving.
• You’re a doer, not just a big-picture thinker. You’ve got the portfolio to prove you’ve personally produced high-quality digital assets at scale. If you’re primarily a conceptual designer who prefers handing off production to someone else, this isn’t your jam.

You should take this meeting because …

This part-time opportunity offers a seriously fun mix of projects, plenty of collaboration, and the chance to see your creativity out in the wild instead of gathering dust in a shared drive. You’ll work alongside talented creatives, sharpen your motion graphics skills, build a portfolio full of high-visibility work, and make a real impact without committing to a full-time schedule. If you live for pixel-perfect execution, love bringing static designs to life, and can make great creative happen on a deadline, get in touch with us today!
