Ongoing Marketing Production Designer (Decks, One-Pagers, Ads, Print)

Zello builds push-to-talk communication for frontline workers. We are hiring a marketing design contractor to take on our everyday production design work on an ongoing part-time basis. This is production design inside an established brand system, not brand strategy. Our visual identity, templates, and design system already exist and are owned in-house. Your job is to produce excellent work within them, consistently and without needing direction on routine requests. WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON - Marketing documents: one-pagers, flyers, datasheets, sales collateral, event materials - Everyday print: event flyers, cards, handouts, small-format signage, prepped to spec for the printer - Presentation decks for sales, customer, and campaign use, built from our existing templates - Paid ad creative for social and display: size sets, variants, platform-spec exports - Design polish on landing pages, working within the existing design system - Marketing emails and landing pages built in HubSpot's drag-and-drop designer - Design passes on in-progress work from teams across the company - Keeping our shared template and asset library current TOOLS Canva, Figma, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and HubSpot. You should be professional-level in the Adobe and design tools and comfortable building in a drag-and-drop marketing builder without a developer. HOW WE WORK You will gather requirements directly from stakeholders in marketing, content, and sales rather than waiting for a finished brief. We expect you to move between fidelities, sketching a rough option to align on direction before committing time to finished art. Work is reviewed for quality and brand consistency before it ships. That is a standing practice, not a probation period. We expect you carrying a steady share of routine requests within your first month. Our templates, brand guidelines, and asset library are documented, so ramp is about learning our standards, not waiting on us to define them. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - You have run a production design queue for a marketing team and kept turnaround predictable when requests outpaced capacity - You work inside someone else's brand system and make it look intentional. The brand, not your personal style, is what shows in your portfolio - You have prepped files for print and know what a printer needs before they ask - You have designed paid ad creative and know what platform specs actually demand - You say when copy is not ready instead of designing around a placeholder - You leave files organized enough that someone else can pick them up - You have worked as an embedded contractor or agency designer and manage your own hours against an agreed scope - Several years designing B2B marketing collateral, ideally for a product with a technical buyer WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT - A brand strategy or visual identity role. Our brand system is defined and owned in-house - A product or UX design role. Nothing in scope touches our app or product design system - A campaign concepting role. Creative direction is set in-house and this role executes against it TO APPLY Send portfolio work that shows you producing inside an existing brand system, not identity work you created from scratch. Print samples and deck work are especially useful.
