Location: Remote (US-based) Job classification: Freelance/Temp to Permanent (Non-Exempt, part-time hourly) This job reports to: Craig Goebel, Senior Designer Who We Are Tangible ( http://www.tangible.co ) is a product marketing, product design, and design thinking agency. We solve complicated marketing and design problems for tech brands at every stage of growth. Our home office is in San Francisco, CA, but we are remote by design, with employees spread across the country. We have team members who typically work between 20-40 hours a week on project assignments for our clients. What We're Looking For We need a Senior Designer who thrives at the intersection of design systems and implementation. In some projects, you'll lead the creative vision; in others, you'll bring existing concepts to life with precision and craftsmanship. This dual role requires someone who can shift between big-picture thinking and meticulous execution — creating original designs for some projects while implementing approved directions within design systems for others. We're looking for strong production skills, including image optimization for web and digital platforms, preparing assets for various mediums, and ensuring design quality through technical execution. You should be comfortable handling everything from creative concept to final deliverable, with the technical know-how to ensure designs are implemented correctly. We value designers with a growth mindset that drives them to constantly improve. While you'll need to be technically proficient in production work, we're equally interested in your passion for design and aspiration to push your creative boundaries. Above all, you'll have a keen eye for detail and organization, particularly in maintaining clean Figma files that others can understand and build upon. Your Mission As a Senior Designer at Tangible, your role will flex between creative development and skilled execution within a highly collaborative team environment. When leading, you'll shape visual solutions from concept to completion, championing our clients' visual brands while pushing creative boundaries (within the confines of brand standards up to and on the edge of what's acceptable). When supporting, you'll refine and implement established directions with precision. Throughout all projects, you'll partner closely with fellow designers, strategists, copywriters, and project managers to ensure cohesive solutions. You'll ensure design implementation is as flawless as the concepts themselves, collaborating with developers to bring designs to life without compromise. Your success will come not just from your individual design skills, but from your ability to thrive in our collaborative culture and contribute to our team-based approach. Key Responsibilities Adaptability: Confidently jump into projects at any stage of the end-to-end process, from initial concept through final delivery, adapting quickly to project needs and timelines Creative Concept Development: Create original design concepts and visual solutions that align with strategic objectives and brand standards, while expressing your unique creative vision Design System Expertise: Apply and extend our clients' design systems across multiple corporate clients' brand touchpoints Visual Design Excellence: Produce outstanding visual design across mediums, including UX/UI, marketing materials, and interactive experiences Figma Excellence: Maintain impeccable Figma files with meticulous layer naming, logical component structure, and clean organization of frames, groups, and sections; effectively integrate and work with clients' existing Figma libraries Developer Handoff: Create detailed annotations, specifications, and optimized assets for developers, ensuring seamless implementation across multiple delivery channels including web, email, PDFs, and other digital formats Digital Asset Management: Work efficiently with client DAM systems to leverage existing assets and contribute new ones according to established protocols Brand Stewardship: Build relationships with clients' brand teams and ensure all work meets their standards while pushing creative boundaries appropriately Concept Presentation: Present design concepts and rationales directly to clients, articulating your creative decisions with confidence Implementation Planning: Identify technical constraints early and collaborate on solutions that preserve strategic intent Quality Assurance: Ensure all design deliverables meet Tangible's high standards and are error-free Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work effectively with strategists, copywriters, and project managers to estimate effort and deliver cohesive solutions that deliver against our client's business, brand, and communication objectives Essential Skills (Must-Have) 6 to 8 years' experience or more as a visual designer with 3+ years working with corporate design systems Advanced Figma skills with demonstrable expertise in: Working with clients’ Figma libraries Creating responsive designs with auto layout Organizing files with clean layer structure and consistent naming Setting up and using styles, properties, and variables effectively Building and managing components and variants Ability to understand client’s business sector and ensure application of design to support their needs Proven ability to craft compelling vector illustrations, logos, icons, and infographics Strong eye for photography with skills in retouching and creating photographic compositions Command of fundamental design principles: layout composition, typography systems, and color theory Experience preparing and annotating files for developer handoff Experience working with digital asset management systems Strong understanding of design implementation requirements across web and mobile platforms Excellent collaborative skills with the ability to partner effectively across disciplines, share and receive feedback constructively, and balance independent work with team-based problem solving Portfolio demonstrating your ability to work within established design systems while creating distinctive visual solutions Experience with storyboarding and/or 2D motion design Experience in print design and Adobe InDesign Adobe Creative Suite proficiency (Photoshop, Illustrator) Comfort collaborating in Google Workspace (Docs and Slides primarily) Comfort with work platforms for instant messaging platforms and project / task management platforms (we use Slack and Teamwork, respectively, but experience with any will do fine) No formal requirements, as the experience requirement qualifies as equivalent experience to a bachelor's degree in a design-related field Ability to keep sensitive client and agency information confidential at all times Bonus Skills (Nice-to-Have) Experience with Fortune 500 / enterprise SaaS clients Experience with prototyping Experience with 2D animation production Experience with Apple Keynote Experience with Microsoft Office 365 Experience working directly with developers on implementation Your Working Style Detail-oriented but can still see the big picture Passionate about organization and systems thinking Self-directed, resourceful problem solver who takes initiative, anticipates challenges and proactively works to solve them Collaborative team player in our virtual environment Adaptable to shifting priorities and timelines Can prioritize concurrent projects and manage time effectively Works well under time constraints Strategic thinker who understands the "why" behind design decisions Open to giving and receiving constructive feedback Proactive communicator who stays connected with the team What We'll Provide This is a part-time, hourly position.
