Remote Visual Designer jobs – Full‑Time Remote Position in Westbrook, Maine – Senior‑Level Figma & Adobe Creative Suite Expertise, $80k‑$110k Salary Range

TITLE:Remote Visual Designer jobs – Full‑TimeRemote Position in Westbrook, Maine – Senior‑Level Figma & Adobe Creative Suite Expertise, $80k‑$110kSalary Range --- We’re a midsized digital product studio that grew from a handful of freelancers in a co‑working space in Westbrook, Maine to a 120‑person remote‑first company serving fintech, health‑tech, and e‑learning brands across North America. Over the last 18 months we added three new product lines, and with that growth the visual brand language of each product has become a critical factor in customer retention.That’s why we’re looking for aRemote Visual Designer who can turn complex data into clear, compelling graphics while keeping the look & feel consistent across web, mobile, and marketing channels. Why this role exists now When we launched the “Insight” analytics dashboard for a health‑tech client, the engineering team delivered a solid backend in record time, but the visual layer fell short of the client’s expectations. That launch resulted in a 12% dip in user engagement during the first week—a metric we could not ignore.The team responded by hiring a dedicated visual designer to own the look, feel, and usability of every screen and asset. The first designer we brought on helped raise our dashboard click‑through rate by 18% within two months, proving the ROI of design‑led development. Now we need a second, senior‑level designer to partner with three product squads, each consisting of a product manager, a front‑end engineer, and a copywriter, so we can keep the momentum and scale the visual language across a growing portfolio.Who you’ll work with You’ll join a distributed design group of nine people, half of whom are based in Westbrook, Maine and the rest spread across Toronto, Austin, and remote locations in Europe. The team follows a two‑week sprint cadence, delivering an average of 30 visual assets per sprint—ranging from UI components and micro‑animations to email templates and social‑media graphics. You’ll sit in the daily stand‑up with the product squad you’re assigned to, participate in sprint retrospectives, and collaborate directly with developers via Slack, Notion, and JIRA tickets.The product manager will bring you the user stories; you’ll translate them into wireframes, high‑fidelity mockups, and a style guide that the engineers can hand off through Zeplin or Storybook. What you’ll do day‑to‑day * Translate product requirements, user research, and brand guidelines into visual concepts that are both functional and aesthetically consistent. * Produce high‑fidelity mockups in Figma and Sketch, then hand off assets with specifications for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects when motion is required.* Create and maintain a shared component library in Figma, ensuring brand colors, typography, and spacing tokens are updated at least once per month. * Work closely with front‑end developers to ensure pixel‑perfect implementation, reviewing Pull Requests and providing feedback on CSS, SVG, and responsive behavior. * Conduct usability testing sessions (remote moderated via Lookback.io) and iterate on designs based on quantitative data—aiming for a 5‑10% improvement in task completion rates each quarter.* Produce marketing assets such as banner ads, email newsletters, and social‑media graphics, collaborating with the growth team to align visual messaging with campaign KPIs (e.g., raise click‑through rates by ~4% per campaign). * Mentor junior designers on the team by holding weekly “Design Crit” sessions, where you’ll walk through design decisions, share shortcuts in Figma plugins, and discuss how to balance design ambition with engineering constraints. Tools you’ll ownYour toolkit will be familiar to any seasoned graphics designer working remotely: 1.Figma (including FigJam for brainstorming) 2. Sketch (for legacy projects) 3. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (for raster and vector work) 4. Adobe After Effects (for UI micro‑animations) 5. InVision (for prototype sharing with external stakeholders) 6. Zeplin & Storybook (for engineering handoff) 7. Miro (for remote whiteboarding) 8. Notion (for design documentation and style guides) 9. Slack (for real‑time collaboration) 10. JIRA (for sprint tracking) 11. Trello (for personal task board) 12. HTML/CSS basics (to discuss implementation details) While we’re not looking for a full‑stack developer, a working knowledge of web fundamentals helps you speak the same language as the engineers and reduces the feedback loop.Metrics that matter We believe in making the impact of design tangible. Here are the numbers we track: * Asset delivery speed: 30 assets per sprint, 2‑day turnaround for high‑priority requests. * Engagement uplift: 18% increase in dashboard click‑throughs after the first visual redesign cycle. * Conversion lift: 4.2% rise in email campaign click‑through rates when we introduced motion graphics. * Consistency score: 92% of visual components meet the brand‑guideline audit (goal >90%). * User satisfaction: Average System Usability Scale (SUS) of 84 for newly launched features (target >80).Your role will be judged against these metrics, but we also value the qualitative side—how well you champion the user experience and how quickly you can iterate based on feedback. A human moment > “I’ll never forget the night we were live‑streaming a product launch for a fintech client. The engineer just pinged me that the animation loop was glitching on Safari. I dropped everything, opened After Effects, re‑rendered a final 2‑second loop, and uploaded it while we were still on air. The client called it ‘seamless,’ and the team celebrated with pizza delivered to our home offices.That’s the kind of collaborative pressure that makes remote design feel like a real‑time studio.” – Maya,Senior Visual Designer (joined 2022) Stories like Maya’s illustrate how we blend autonomy with immediate teamwork, even when we’re miles apart.
