What is a fractional creative?

A Fractional Creative is a seasoned creative professional—such as a designer, art director, or brand strategist—who works with companies on a part-time, contract, or project basis. Instead of hiring a full-time creative leader, businesses can bring in a Fractional Creative to provide strategic guidance, creative direction, and hands-on work for specific projects or during periods of transition. This flexible arrangement helps organizations access high-level creative expertise without the commitment and cost of a full-time hire. Fractional Creatives often work with startups, growing businesses, or companies that need fresh creative perspectives on demand.

How does a fractional creative typically integrate with existing in-house teams and processes?

A Fractional Creative usually works as an embedded partner, collaborating closely with in-house marketing, design, and product teams while bringing an outsider’s perspective. This role often involves adapting quickly to the company’s workflow, understanding brand guidelines, and providing strategic creative direction on a part-time or project basis. Communication and flexibility are key, as they may juggle multiple clients or projects and must align their schedules with team meetings, feedback sessions, and deadlines. Successful Fractional Creatives are adept at building trust and fostering collaboration, ensuring their creative input aligns seamlessly with the team's ongoing initiatives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a fractional creative, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Fractional Creative, you need a robust portfolio demonstrating expertise in design, branding, and creative strategy, often supported by a degree in design or communications. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and project management systems is typically required. Exceptional communication, adaptability, and self-management are crucial soft skills for collaborating with diverse clients and juggling multiple projects. These skills ensure the delivery of impactful creative solutions and maintain strong client relationships in a flexible, project-based work environment.

Marketing & Design Consultant

HireScale

San Francisco, CA • On-site

Part-time

Re-posted 13 days ago

Job description

Project Overview

HireScale is partnering with a high-growth organization to elevate how brand, product, and marketing experiences are designed and delivered across multiple customer-facing channels. This is a fractional Design Consultant engagement focused on creating cohesive, high-impact design systems that unify marketing, UX, and product storytelling across B2B, B2C, and B2B2C environments.


This role is for a versatile, hands-on designer who operates across visual design, UX, marketing creative, and light front-end implementation. You will help shape how the organization shows up across web, product, campaigns, and customer touchpoints—ensuring consistency, clarity, and conversion-driven design execution.

The work spans both brand expression and functional product design, requiring someone who can move fluidly between high-level creative direction and detailed UI/UX execution. You will be expected to design systems that not only look strong but also perform—driving engagement, usability, and business outcomes.


This is not a siloed design role. You will collaborate directly with marketing, product, and engineering teams to translate business goals into compelling visual and interactive experiences. A strong emphasis is placed on speed, adaptability, and execution quality, particularly in fast-moving SaaS and digital-first environments.


You will also contribute to lightweight front-end implementation where needed, helping bridge the gap between design and production through practical skills in modern web technologies.


The ideal consultant brings equal fluency across B2B SaaS, B2C consumer experiences, and B2B2C hybrid platforms, with the ability to adapt design thinking to different audience behaviors and business models.

The goal is to create a unified, scalable design foundation that strengthens brand perception, improves user experience, and drives measurable engagement across all channels.


Scope of Work & Core Capabilities

  • Design end-to-end user experiences across web, product, and marketing channels
  • Create and evolve visual identity systems, design components, and brand assets
  • Translate business objectives into clear, intuitive, and high-performing UX/UI solutions
  • Design marketing creative assets including landing pages, campaigns, and digital content
  • Develop responsive UI designs aligned with modern SaaS and digital product standards
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure seamless design implementation
  • Contribute light front-end development support using HTML, CSS, and modern frameworks where needed
  • Build and maintain scalable design systems and reusable component libraries
  • Ensure consistency across B2B, B2C, and B2B2C customer experiences
  • Optimize designs based on user behavior, performance data, and conversion insights
  • Apply UX best practices to improve usability, accessibility, and engagement
  • Support rapid iteration cycles in fast-paced, agile environments
  • Partner with marketing teams to ensure brand alignment across all customer touchpoints
  • Maintain strong documentation of design systems, components, and guidelines


Engagement Brief

This fractional engagement is focused on delivering cohesive, high-impact design systems that unify brand, product, and marketing experiences across multiple audience types. Success is defined by improved user engagement, stronger brand consistency, and higher-performing digital experiences across channels.

  • Target Outcomes: A unified design system and high-quality visual/UX execution across marketing, product, and web experiences. Deliver improved user engagement, stronger conversion performance, and consistent brand expression across B2B, B2C, and B2B2C environments. Ensure scalable design foundations that support long-term product and marketing growth.
  • Duration: Fractional engagement (ongoing, project-based support)
  • Commitment: Flexible fractional engagement (part-time / embedded support)
  • Budget: Flexible based on scope, workload, and engagement structure
  • Start Date: ASAP


Portfolio Requirements:

  • 3–5 relevant design projects across B2B, B2C, and/or B2B2C environments
  • Demonstrated end-to-end ownership (problem → design strategy → execution → measurable impact)
  • Strong portfolio showing both UX/UI and marketing/visual design work
  • Evidence of work in SaaS, digital products, or consumer-facing platforms
  • Experience contributing to or building design systems or component libraries
  • Light front-end implementation experience (HTML/CSS or equivalent) preferred
  • Supporting materials such as case studies, Figma files, live websites, or design documentation
