Our clients don't need a full-service creative agency—they've already developed their strategy and need high-quality design to bring it to life, quickly and efficiently.And that's what Lightboard does.About the PositionWe are looking for a well-rounded and results-focused freelance designer anywhere in the United States.A successful candidate will have demonstrated solid experience with layout (presentations, PDFs) and digital design (web, social, ads).Illustration, animation, or experience with Webflow are all major pluses (but we don't expect someone to be great at all of those things).Attention to detail, dedication to the craft of design, and a great attitude are a must.Our customers are typically growth-stage tech companies. They have a marketing team but not a design team, and that's where we step in to help.We pull together the right team for the customer and whip their brand into shape.

This is a position where you can quickly work with a lot of different clients, brands, and styles.Our engagements are led by our Creative Services Managers.

Our customers aren't always right, and we sometimes need to (gently) show them the right path.Super-duper bonus points:Experience with light web development (Webflow, WordPress, and email templates).Extraordinary collection of funny cat GIFs.Engaged as a full-time freelancer.
