Remote Design Strategist

Introduction to the Opportunity

Imagine shaping the creative direction of innovative digital experiences from the comfort of your home. As a Remote Design Strategist, you'll serve as the mastermind behind transformative design solutions that guide businesses into the future. With an annual salary of $98,882, this opportunity is ideal for those who thrive at the intersection of visual storytelling, user psychology, and strategic thinking. Our company has evolved from a small collective of design thinkers into a global presence influencing creative industries, driven by bold ideas, human-centric approaches, and a shared ambition to create what’s next. We believe design is more than aesthetics—it's an evolving conversation with culture, people, and purpose. Now, we’re seeking a Design Strategist who doesn’t just follow trends, but starts them.

Role Overview

This role calls for a boundary-pusher, someone who uses creativity as a compass and strategy as their guide. The Design Strategist will weave insights, innovation, and design sensibility into actionable strategies that translate complex business goals into engaging visual experiences. You’ll influence product roadmaps, brand evolution, and interactive storytelling, ensuring our creative outputs remain sharp, effective, and at the forefront of the curve.

Key Responsibilities

• Shape the creative blueprint for multidisciplinary projects across web, product, and branding.
• Collaborate closely with UX researchers, brand strategists, and content designers to translate abstract concepts into visually expressive frameworks.
• Guide clients through design thinking workshops, insight synthesis, and narrative development to define design challenges and actionable paths forward.
• Create visual maps, journey models, and experience roadmaps to represent strategic insights in engaging and visually appealing formats.
• Balance analytical thinking with intuitive creativity to deliver solutions that are both innovative and practical.
• Mentor junior designers and ensure alignment across design outputs and project goals.
• Communicate design rationales and strategic intentions to both clients and internal teams.

Creative Work Environment

We’re remote-first, but far from distant. Think virtual brainstorming sessions that start with GIFs and end with game-changing ideas. Imagine Slack channels where creativity flows as freely as memes, and Zoom calls that occasionally feature spontaneous dance breaks. Our team spans continents, yet we collaborate like we’re at the same table—using digital tools to keep the magic alive.

As a Design Strategist, you’ll be joining a culture that celebrates quirky thinking, creative autonomy, and diverse perspectives. Your contributions will help shape a workplace that values experimentation and embraces new ways of thinking about work, collaboration, and storytelling.

Tools and Technology

To bring strategic visions to life, you’ll be equipped with a robust toolkit:

• Figma and Miro for crafting wireframes, flows, and visual strategy boards.
• Notion and Confluence for knowledge management and collaborative documentation.
• Adobe Creative Suite for crafting high-impact visuals.
• Slack, Zoom, and Loom for real-time remote engagement.
• Airtable and Trello for managing strategic deliverables and cross-functional alignment.
  We stay up to date with the latest tech and always welcome new tool recommendations. Innovation doesn’t stop at design; it flows through the way we work, communicate, and deliver.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a strategic design, brand strategy, or UX leadership role.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating the application of design strategy to real-world problems.
• Mastery of storytelling, concept visualization, and human-centered design thinking.
• Excellent facilitation and client engagement skills.
• Ability to translate abstract or ambiguous issues into clear, actionable design strategies.
• Comfortable working across time zones and leading virtual collaboration.
• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Design Strategy, Human-Centered Design, Visual Communication, or a related field.

Desired Attributes

• A sense of humor that pairs well with design critiques.
• Intellectual curiosity, with a healthy obsession for industry trends and creative tech.
• Empathy-driven approach to teamwork and user experience.
• Strong instincts for design with the ability to adapt styles for diverse audiences.
• Passion for mentorship and helping others grow in their creative careers.

Growth Opportunities

Joining our team isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about shaping your future. As a Remote Design Strategist, you’ll gain exposure to high-profile global clients and work on projects that challenge the norm. Our leadership champions learning through design sprints, innovation labs, and skill-swapping sessions where team members teach each other everything from typography to storytelling frameworks.

Whether your long-term goal is to lead a design department, launch your creative consultancy, or become a global voice in design strategy, we provide the resources, feedback, and creative runway to help you thrive.

Why This Role Stands Out

We’re not looking for someone who simply colors inside the lines. We want a rule-breaker, a thought-shaper, a design thinker who gets excited about shaping the intersection between creativity and business strategy. In this role, your ideas won’t just stay on paper—they’ll become the blueprint for real impact.

Imagine having your concepts influence how users interact with apps, how brands communicate with the world, and how innovation is designed into every digital journey. This role is your canvas. Your strategy is the brush.

We believe people produce their best work when they feel supported, inspired, and respected. Here’s what we offer:

• Flexible work hours and fully remote collaboration
• Generous paid time off and mental wellness breaks
• Stipends for learning & development and creative resources
• Design retreats and virtual jams to keep the energy fresh
• Collaborative, inclusive culture that celebrates individuality
