What is a freelance clinical?

A Freelance Clinical job typically involves providing clinical or healthcare-related services on a contract or per-project basis rather than as a full-time employee. Freelance clinical professionals may include nurses, medical writers, clinical research associates, or healthcare consultants. They often work with hospitals, research organizations, or pharmaceutical companies, offering expertise in areas like patient care, clinical trials, or medical documentation. This role provides flexibility and independence but may require managing multiple clients and maintaining necessary certifications.

What are the unique challenges of working as a freelance clinical professional compared to traditional clinical roles?

As a Freelance Clinical professional, you may encounter challenges such as managing fluctuating workloads, handling multiple clients simultaneously, and ensuring consistent access to up-to-date resources and professional development. Unlike traditional clinical roles that offer established support systems, freelancers are responsible for their own scheduling, billing, and compliance with changing regulations. However, this independence also offers flexibility and the opportunity to diversify your experience across different settings. Success often relies on strong self-motivation, organization, and effective client communication.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the freelance clinical position, and why are they important?

To excel as a Freelance Clinical professional, you typically need a background in a relevant healthcare field such as nursing, clinical research, or therapy, along with applicable licenses or certifications. Familiarity with electronic health record systems, clinical trial management software, and regulatory compliance tools is often necessary. Strong organizational skills, proactive communication, and the ability to work independently are crucial soft skills for managing multiple clients and projects. These competencies enable reliable, high-quality clinical service delivery and foster client trust in a flexible, self-directed work environment.

Job ID:16987

The Freelance Sr. Experience Designer is a highly skilled digital craftsperson who combines strategic thinking, exceptional visual design, and user-centered problem solving to create modern digital experiences. This role requires a strong design sensibility, deep expertise in Figma, and the ability to translate brand strategy into sophisticated, scalable design systems and polished user interfaces.

*This role will support our GSW LA office so must be willing to work PST hours.

The ideal candidate has a sharp eye for typography, composition, interaction design, and visual storytelling. They are comfortable working from concept through execution, creating thoughtful digital experiences that balance business objectives, audience needs, and creative excellence.

Responsibilities:
  • Design elegant, user-centered digital experiences for healthcare professional and patient/consumer audiences.
  • Create high-fidelity interface designs, interaction concepts, and prototypes that communicate both functionality and creative intent.
  • Develop and maintain scalable component libraries and design systems within Figma.
  • Translate brand standards into cohesive digital experiences across web, mobile, email, and emerging digital platforms.
  • Partner closely with UX strategists, developers, copywriters, and creative leads to bring experiences from concept to launch.
  • Present and articulate design rationale, creative decisions, and interaction approaches to internal teams and stakeholders.
  • Apply strong visual design principles including typography, hierarchy, layout, color, and motion to create impactful user experiences.
  • Produce polished design deliverables that clearly communicate user flows, interactions, and final creative intent.
  • Incorporate feedback from users, stakeholders, and project teams to continuously refine and elevate the design solution.
  • Stay current on design trends, tools, and emerging best practices in digital product and experience design.
Qualification Requirements:
  • 4+ years of professional experience in digital design, product design, experience design, or related disciplines.
  • Expert proficiency in Figma, including component libraries, design systems, auto-layout, prototyping, variables, and collaborative workflows.
  • Deep understanding of typography, visual hierarchy, layout systems, and modern interface design principles.
  • Experience creating design systems, reusable components, and scalable digital frameworks.
  • Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud and modern digital design tools.
  • Ability to communicate design decisions clearly and effectively to multidisciplinary teams.

The anticipated hourly rate for this position is $65 but may vary based on various factors such as the candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies and proficiency for the role.

At GSW, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. At times, we will consider transferable skills from previous roles.

GSW is a full-service healthcare communications agency that goes beyond advertising to create personalized brand experiences that involve, inspire, educate and activate people through ongoing brand journeys. As one of the world’s ten most-awarded healthcare advertising agencies, GSW is hell-bent not to replace the same old with the same old. This is achieved through a provocative premise — if other brands communicated the way healthcare brands do, how many customers would they have? GSW turns against this premise through discovery of beneath-the-surface customer insights that we impact with stories, simplicity and authenticity.
