Visual Designer

Contract Length: 4 months · Location: Remote · Pay Rate: $60–$75 per hour

About the role

We’re seeking a talented Visual Designer to help shape the visual language for live events and large-scale broadcast experiences. This is a hands-on design role for someone who can work within established systems, develop new creative ideas, and create polished graphics that scale across a wide range of live environments. You’ll work across visual design, design systems, motion, and information-driven graphics in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve scalable graphic systems for live events across sports, entertainment, and other programming.
• Create high-end custom graphics, layouts, inserts, fullscreen graphics, lower thirds, and other broadcast assets.
• Develop templates and toolkits that can scale across teams, properties, and formats.
• Design and animate intros, transitions, and other motion graphics using After Effects.
• Extend established brand guidelines and visual systems across new assets and applications.
• Create supporting sales and presentation materials when needed.
• Review live executions and identify opportunities to improve polish, clarity, and consistency.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a studio, agency, media, entertainment, broadcast, or similarly fast-paced environment.
• Expert-level Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects skills. After Effects is required, though you do not need to be a dedicated motion designer.
• Proven experience building and scaling design systems or visual toolkits.
• Strong creative judgment and the ability to clearly communicate design decisions.
• A portfolio demonstrating highly polished visual work alongside functional, information-driven graphics.
• Collaborative, curious, and self-directed working style.
• Ability to balance creative exploration with the technical discipline required for live production.

Preferred Qualifications

• Live sports, broadcast, entertainment, or streaming experience.
• Experience with Cinema 4D or other 3D applications and render engines.
• Experience creating motion systems rather than individual animations.
• Experience working with live data or complex information hierarchies.
• Figma experience.
• Experience scaling visual systems across multiple regions, audiences, or platforms.

Potential Projects

• Team and property logos and visual systems
• Front-end design and animation
• Broadcast inserts and fullscreen graphics
• Custom layouts and campaign graphics
• Lower thirds, slates, monitors, and on-set graphics
• Sales and presentation toolkits
• Templates and scalable production systems

Working Environment

This is a remote, time-zone-friendly role supporting live event production. Candidates should be comfortable with increased activity leading into major events and some availability around event days. The ideal candidate is a “part-time daydreamer” — someone who can imagine what’s possible, bring strong creative ideas to the table, and still understand the systems, technical requirements, and production realities needed to make great live graphics work.
