Freelance Graphic Designer

Creative Circle
York, NY Contractor
POSTED ON 5/28/2026

Our client, a well-known insurance agency, is looking for a freelance Graphic Designer to join their NYC team. This is a 40 hour per week hybrid onsite / remote position (onsite Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and remote on Mondays Fridays).

This role requires more than simple production execution. You'll bring strong design judgment to elevate marketing assets while working confidently within an established brand framework. You'll operate with independence, maintain close alignment with stakeholders, and ensure all work supports broader business objectives.

The Graphic Designer will:

Produce high-quality materials using established templates and approved component libraries, including pitch decks, product brochures, fund fact sheets, flyers, and digital and event collateral
Apply sound design judgment within the brand system to ensure consistent use of typography, color, imagery, and layout
Adapt designs to channel-specific best practices, including ad sizing, file constraints, and accessibility requirements, while maintaining brand consistency
Manage multiple concurrent requests by prioritizing effectively and communicating proactively in partnership with a project manager
Maintain organized file structures, naming conventions, and version control throughout the engagement
Collaborate with the Head of Brand & Creative, Director of Creative Services, and Senior Art Director on quality review, escalating edge cases or inconsistencies as needed
Prepare files for final output, including print-ready PDFs and required digital formats

The Graphic Designer has:

3 years of graphic design experience, ideally within financial services, asset management, or another regulated, compliance-focused industry
Proven experience designing for sophisticated, high-end audiences within a premium brand environment
Ability to work efficiently and independently, exercising strong judgment around imagery, color, and visual hierarchy while adhering to strict brand standards
Demonstrated capacity to manage high-volume output across multiple materials and timelines without sacrificing quality
Exceptional attention to detail with strong organizational and communication skills
Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop
Solid understanding of digital design specifications across social and display channels, including platform constraints and UX/UI best practices
Experience with Figma preferred; familiarity with Canva or Adobe Express is a plus

In this position, you may have access to client or customer systems, confidential and/or proprietary information or data, including financial information. This position is onsite and requires you to work closely with other individuals in a collaborative team environment.
