Senior Visual Designer, Web

About Theoria Creative

Theoria Creative is a science marketing and design firm that helps growing biotech companies communicate with investors through clear, engaging, and visually compelling storytelling. For 16 years, we have partnered with early-stage and emerging biotechs to translate complex science into investor-ready narratives supported by conceptual graphics and clean technical visuals.

We are a fully remote team and have built a stable, long-term business serving the biotech industry. We pride ourselves on a collaborative culture, steady work, and long-term job security for the right people.

Role overview

We are looking for a Senior Brand and Web Designer who combines strong conceptual thinking with hands-on execution across web, branding, and marketing design.

You will develop ideas, create visual directions, and execute high-quality designs across web, digital, and light print formats, working primarily in Creative Suite and Figma. You will work as a part of the creative team on ideas, develop designs on your own, and collaborate with other designers to finalize the project.

This is a 15–20 hours per week, permanent, remote contract role with the potential to grow over time.

Key responsibilities

• Lead creative concepting and visual direction for web pages and campaign assets for biotech clients
• Design web and UI layouts in Figma with a strong understanding of web components, design systems, and responsive design
• Build and update pages in WordPress independently
• Translate complex scientific or technical content into clear, visually compelling web design and layouts
• Create and evolve brand identity systems, including logos, icon sets, typography, color palettes, and guidelines
• Design supporting marketing and editorial materials in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop (for example, banners, posters, one-pagers, infographics)
• Maintain clean, organized Figma and Adobe files with clear naming, components, and structure
• Collaborate with the team to brainstorm ideas, create designs, and iterate quickly based on feedback

Qualifications and skills

• 5–8+ years of professional experience in graphic and web design
• Significant time in an agency handling multiple clients simultaneously, tight deadlines, and high-volume creative output - candidates from long-term in-house-only backgrounds are unlikely to fit the pace
• Strong preference for agency experience supporting biotech, pharmaceutical, or similar life sciences clients
• Strong portfolio showcasing concept-driven work across web pages and UI layouts, icon sets and visual systems, branding, and marketing collateral - work must be verifiable as the candidate's own
• Expert command of Figma, including components, Auto Layout, and developer-ready files - Figma is the primary tool for this role
• WordPress proficiency required; must be able to build and update pages independently
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) for supporting brand and marketing materials
• Experience building or extending brand systems and design libraries across multiple touchpoints
• High ownership, strong communication, and comfort working remotely with a distributed team
• Able to balance multiple client projects while maintaining quality and hitting deadlines

Nice to have

• Experience in science, biotech, or other technical B2B contexts
• Light motion or interaction design experience

Work arrangement

• US-based firm with team members in Europe and US
• Part-time: 15–20 hours per week to start, with potential to expand
• Long-term contract role
• Fully remote and flexible schedule, but must reliably collaborate during overlapping hours with Europe and US and respond during the work week
