Senior Visual Designer, Web

About Theoria Creative

Theoria Creative is a science marketing and design firm that helps growing biotech companies communicate with investors through clear, engaging, and visually compelling storytelling. For 16 years, we have partnered with early-stage and emerging biotechs to translate complex science into investor‑ready narratives supported by conceptual graphics and clean technical visuals.
We are a fully remote team and have built a stable, long‑term business serving the biotech industry. We pride ourselves on a collaborative culture, steady work, and long‑term job security for the right people.

Role overview

We are looking for a Senior Web and Brand Designer who combines strong conceptual thinking with hands‑on execution across web, branding, and marketing design. This is a specialized web design role – candidates with a primary focus in motion graphics are not the right fit.
You will develop ideas, create visual directions, and execute high‑quality designs across web, digital, and light print formats, working primarily in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite. You will work as a part of the creative team on ideas, develop designs on your own, and collaborate with other designers to finalize the project.

This is a 15–20 hours per week, permanent, remote contract role with the potential to grow over time.

Key responsibilities

• Lead creative concepting and visual direction for web pages and campaign assets for biotech clients
• Design web and UI layouts in Figma with a strong understanding of web components, design systems, and responsive design
• Build and update pages in WordPress independently
• Translate complex scientific or technical content into clear, visually compelling web design and layouts
• Create and evolve brand identity systems, including logos, icon sets, typography, color palettes, and guidelines
• Design supporting marketing and editorial materials in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop (for example, banners, posters, one‑pagers, infographics)
• Maintain clean, organized Figma and Adobe files with clear naming, components, and structure
• Collaborate with the team to brainstorm ideas, create designs, and iterate quickly based on feedback

Qualifications and skills

• 5–8+ years of professional experience in graphic and web design
• Significant time in an agency handling multiple clients simultaneously, tight deadlines, and high‑volume creative output – candidates from long‑term in‑house‑only backgrounds are unlikely to fit the pace
• Strong preference for agency experience supporting biotech, pharmaceutical, or similar life sciences clients
• Strong portfolio showcasing concept‑driven work across web pages and UI layouts, icon sets and visual systems, branding, and marketing collateral – work must demonstrate both UX thinking and strong visual design execution (not wireframing only)
• Experience working with B2B clients, preferably in scientific, biotech, pharmaceutical, or technical industries
• Expert command of Figma, including components, Auto Layout, and developer‑ready files – Figma is the primary tool for this role and must be prominently featured in your portfolio
• WordPress proficiency required; must be able to build and update pages independently
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) for supporting brand and marketing materials
• Experience building or extending brand systems and design libraries across multiple touchpoints
• High ownership, strong communication, and comfort working remotely with a distributed team
• Able to balance multiple client projects while maintaining quality and hitting deadlines

Nice to have

• Experience in science, biotech, or other technical B2B contexts
• Light motion or interaction design experience

How to apply

Please include a portfolio link or links with your application. We strongly prefer to see Figma files in addition to a traditional portfolio – sharing a Figma link or file demonstrates your process and tool proficiency directly. Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.

Work arrangement

• US‑based firm with team members in Europe and US
• Part‑time: 15–20 hours per week to start, with potential to expand
• Long‑term contract role
• Fully remote and flexible schedule, but must reliably collaborate during overlapping hours with Europe and US and respond during the work week
