Freelance Senior Visual Designer

Pixel One is a creative partner to some of the most ambitious teams in AI, enterprise SaaS, and future-defining tech. We collaborate with clients like nVIDIA, Google, Hublot, Autodesk, Epic Games, and Mercedes-Benz to bring bold ideas to life.

We're looking for an elite Freelance Senior Visual Designer to join our visual design team on a three-month contract to cover for an existing designer going on a small health leave. This can turn into a full-time role. Our visual design team delivers branding, web design, motion design, illustrations and more for B2B SaaS clients - and we need someone who can execute at the highest level across all of it.

This is a freelance engagement with potential for a full-time in-house role. It’s a chance to work alongside a world-class design team, partner with leading global brands, and contribute to some of the most exciting projects in tech and culture.

Responsibilities

• Execute high-quality visual design: Deliver polished brand identities, web designs, marketing assets, and UI components that meet our quality bar and reflect our clients' ambitions.
• Operate within design systems: Work fluently within established visual systems and contribute to evolving them thoughtfully as projects grow.
• Support client deliverables: Prepare work for client reviews, incorporating feedback quickly and professionally while maintaining design integrity.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Provide clean, well-structured assets to motion designers, developers, and illustrators. Understand how your work fits into the broader production pipeline.
• Uphold studio standards: Follow our SOPs, quality benchmarks, and file organization practices. Your output should be ready for handoff without cleanup.
• Contribute to team rituals: Show up to critique sessions prepared to give and receive direct, constructive feedback. Help raise the bar for the whole team.

Qualifications

• Minimum 7 years of experience in Visual Design
• At least 2 years specifically in B2B SaaS, ideally from seed-stage or Series A startups
• A portfolio that shows real B2B or SaaS work: brand systems, web, marketing, and/or product visuals
• Advanced proficiency in Figma
• Strong fundamentals: typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy
• Ability to execute within existing brand systems and push them forward intelligently
• Comfortable working with ambiguity: our clients come to us for clarity, not with it
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects with different visual languages
• Meticulous attention to detail across all aspects of design and delivery
• Clear, proactive communication: you don't need hand-holding to move work forward
• Must work ET/PT
