Design Lead (Contract or FT)

Hey, we’re Brightpath Technologies . We create brands, websites, decks, and more for biotech and deeptech companies. Our mission is to help these scientists and engineers translate their technical breakthroughs into powerful stories so that they connect with their most important audiences. We’re on the lookout for a Design Lead. Maybe that’s you? What you’ll do As our Design Lead, you’ll be a versatile designer supporting our Creative Director across a wide range of projects. You’ll support both large-scale projects and smaller design tasks. Your responsibilities will include: Design Lead: Lead larger and more complex projects, guiding them from initial concept to final delivery. This includes developing brand systems, multi-page websites, and digital reports. You’ll have the support of our Creative Director and access to additional talent for specialized needs (e.g., web, motion, development). Design Support: Assist with smaller, one-off tasks like creating LinkedIn posts, editing images, or designing decks for presentations. Brightpath Technologies Brand: Own the Brightpath Technologies brand end-to-end, helping to make revisions to the website, creating marketing graphics, and designing sales decks. Who you are Talented: We care more about your design skills than your years of education or experience. On a micro level, this comes through your impeccable eye for detail. On a macro level, this comes through your ability to build consistent creative systems. Reliable: We can depend on you to deliver, and you know how to communicate proactively. You’re organized and can juggle multiple projects efficiently. Curious: You love to learn and improve. Instead of just doing the work to get it done, you go out of your way to learn more about the client and their technology so you can better serve their goals. Scrappy: You thrive in a fast-paced, agency environment and are comfortable with a variety of projects and clients. Opportunity Time: This role will start as a part-time contract, approximately 15-25 hours per week. Growth: After the successful delivery of 2-3 projects, this role has the potential to transition to a full-time position. Location: We are remote-first but require ~5 hours overlap with EST (our meetings are typically within 12-5pm EST). Compensation: We offer fixed-fee budgets for more defined projects (e.g., brand, web, and deck work) and an hourly rate for less defined tasks (e.g., one-off design work).
