Visual Design Allrounder / Creative Partner (Long-Term)

Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

We are a training company looking for a versatile freelance designer for a long-term collaboration. Over several years, we have built a strong and established brand identity with a clear visual language, brand manual, templates and a broad range of existing materials. We are not looking for someone to reinvent our brand. We are looking for someone who can understand it, work confidently within it and translate it consistently across different formats. Our design work sits between content, sales and education. Typical projects include: Social media content such as LinkedIn posts and carousels PowerPoint presentations and training / learning materials Flyers, PDFs, proposals and other sales materials Website pages or smaller web design tasks Other visual communication within our existing brand Our visual style is clean, modern and highly structured, with a strong Swiss/editorial influence and an educational character. We use clear typography, generous whitespace, simple shapes and a restrained color palette to make information easy to understand. The design should feel professional, calm and intelligent — never cluttered, overly decorative or trend-driven. A big part of the job is being able to turn complex information into simple, visually clear communication. We are looking for a broad design allrounder rather than a specialist in only one area. You should be able to handle most everyday design tasks yourself, while also recognizing when a project would benefit from a specialist. Ideally, you are comfortable bringing in or recommending someone from your own network when needed, while remaining our main creative contact. We care more about the quality of the result than the specific tools you use. Figma, Adobe, Canva, AI tools or something else — whatever works best for you. We also value pragmatism: not every task needs a perfect or highly elaborate design solution. Sometimes we need something excellent and polished; sometimes we simply need something clean, professional and clearly on-brand. Our working language can be English. You do not need to speak perfect German, but you should understand written German well enough to understand the content you are designing and judge whether the visual result makes sense. Collaboration We are looking for someone who can become a regular long-term creative partner. The workload can vary significantly, typically between half a day and three days per week. We cannot guarantee a fixed weekly volume, and in return we generally do not expect constant immediate availability. Most tasks come with 2–3 days or more of lead time. Occasionally, however, there may be a small urgent task, such as a social media post, where it would be great if a quick turnaround is sometimes possible. Just as important as design skills is the collaboration itself. We want someone we communicate well with, understand easily and genuinely enjoy working with. Good chemistry, reliability and a pragmatic working style are very important to us. To apply Please send us your portfolio, hourly or daily rate, approximate availability, German/English level and a short introduction. We would also like to know which types of design work you are strongest at, where you have less experience, and how you normally handle projects that require specialist skills outside your own expertise.
