Graphic Designer (Contract Role)

Hybrid / Remote: Boston (Preferred)

Who are we? 

143 Studios is an award-winning media production company headquartered in Boston, MA focused on creating, producing, and publishing first-of-its-kind audio and visual content that inspires and empowers millions of people globally. We are the team behind the Golden Globe-nominated show The Mel Robbins Podcast, which is #1 most-followed show on Apple Podcasts. We’re also the same team behind The Let Them Theory, a cultural phenomenon with almost 10 million copies sold, six #1 Audible Originals, and professional development education for many of the largest companies in the world. Every day, our work reaches more than 40 million online followers around the world.

About this Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and creative Graphic Designer for a high-impact, short-term  full-time contract role (4-6 months). This is a great role for a designer who wants their work seen, tested, and shipped at scale. 

Over the next several months, you’ll be designing and creating for one of the largest personal development brands in the world. You’ll create engaging social media graphics, produce cohesive campaign assets, design and optimize landing pages and web modules, and apply A/B test learnings to improve designs. A strong working proficiency in Figma is required, as you’ll be designing daily social media content across all social platforms, building, iterating, and maintaining organized, developer-ready design files for web and marketing initiatives with multiple teams. 

In addition to social and campaign work, you’ll support the marketing team with ongoing one-off design requests, and marketing assets across channels. This role requires comfort moving quickly between planned initiatives and ad-hoc requests while maintaining brand consistency, quality, and attention to detail.

This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in momentum-heavy environments, enjoys clear creative direction, and wants to sharpen their instincts around performance-driven design. A strong focus of the work lives on social, so you need to understand how creative behaves across platforms, how trends evolve, and how quickly audience expectations shift. Success in this role requires someone who can adapt in real time—translating strategy into platform-native creative, iterating based on performance data, and evolving with the pace of social rather than reacting to it after the fact.  

Key Responsibilities

Campaign Creative Execution

  • Translate campaign goals into consistent visual systems (templates, styles, reusable components) and execute high-volume creative across platforms.
  • Produce campaign assets that look like they belong to the same campaign family, designing with platform and placement in mind (e.g., Instagram Story safe zones, mobile-first landing pages, ad placements, etc.).

Deliverables may include:

  • Social media assets including single graphic posts, carousels, and instagram stories.
  • Paid advertising
  • Landing page creative
  • Email newsletter banners
  • Internal and External Powerpoints 

Social Media Support

  • Design high-performing social content including quote cards, carousels, infographics, reel thumbnails and IG stories.
  • Create static social media graphics 
    • Place content into existing templates
    • Create one-off designs from scratch as needed

Web Design Support 

  • Create and optimize landing pages and web modules in Figma.
  • Improve existing pages using performance insights and  A/B testing results.
  • Build clean, organized Figma files that are efficient for developers to implement.
  • Prepare, export, and hand off assets to a web development team or internal team for upload through WordPress.

Weekly Marketing Support

  • Design Email newsletter banners 
  • Provide occasional graphic support for the video team (create graphics to be used within a YouTube episode of the podcast)
  • Design visual assets that are not only on-brand, but intentionally built to drive clicks, engagement, and conversion across platforms.
  • Help refine existing slide decks or create new ones for speeches,  brand partnerships, and internal use. 

One-Off + Flexible Design Support

  • Act as flexible design support across print and digital, stepping into one-off and unplanned projects as priorities shift.
  • Context-switch between projects, platforms, and timelines without losing momentum while maintaining brand standards and attention to detail.
  • Execute high-quality work under tight turnarounds, often with incomplete information and evolving direction.

Required Skills & Qualifications

General Design Skills

  • Strong proficiency in Figma, including:
    • Components and styles
    • Clean file organization and naming
    • Developer-friendly handoff practices
  • Strong design fundamentals: typography, color, layout, composition, and visual hierarchy.
  • Strong instincts for brand consistency across assets.
  • Ability to take direction and execute quickly while staying within the brand/campaign framework.
  • Strong attention to detail (spacing, alignment, readability, consistency).
  • Experience designing across a wide variety of media channels.

Web Design Experience

  • Working knowledge of web design best practices (responsive layouts, scalability, usability).
  • Portfolio examples showing work that performs well on both mobile and desktop.
  • Experience collaborating with and handing off to a web development team.

Software Requirements

Required (Expert-level proficiency, minimum 3+ years experience): 

  • Figma
  • Adobe InDesign
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Comfort working in Monday.com or similar management tools 

Nice to Have:

  • WordPress
  • Adobe After Effects
  • Adobe Premiere Pro

Who You Are

  • You understand that good design serves a purpose—attention, clarity, action.
  • You can explain why a design works and aren’t overly attached to subjective preferences.
  • You take feedback well, iterate quickly, and can handle multiple rounds of revisions without losing momentum or quality.
  • You stay current on social, platform, and design trends because performance depends on it.
  • You’re flexible, calm under pressure, and able to prioritize when everything feels urgent.
  • You care about quality, but you also understand speed and volume.

Portfolio

Please include a portfolio that shows:

  • Brand consistency across a set of assets (not just single designs).
  • A variety of social media assets that demonstrate platform-specific knowledge, brand consistency, and engagement-driven design (single graphics, carousels, Instagram story assets, etc)
  • Figma File Designs and Projects
  • Campaign creative examples.
  • Web or landing page work (mobile + desktop views).
  • Evidence of strong typography and layout skills.

Nice-to-Haves (Optional)

  • Motion animation (simple transitions, reels assets, etc.).

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
