We are Hooray—a team of innovators, disruptors, and storytellers with a deep passion for hospitality and lifestyle branding. From brand launches to digital ecosystems, we champion ideas that inspire action and emotion. We're currently seeking a Senior Designer (Contract) to join our creative network and bring exceptional design expertise to digital and print initiatives.

About the Role /

As a Contract Senior Designer, you’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of creative thinkers to bring sophisticated, emotionally-driven visuals to life. You’ll work across brand systems, websites, campaigns, and environments—often for premium hospitality clients around the world.

This role is ideal for a proactive and detail-oriented designer who can balance adherence to established brand guides with confident, imaginative input.

  • Design for both digital and print across a wide range of projects including websites, sales decks, email templates, branded collateral, and environmental graphics.
  • Translate brand guides into scalable, consistent visual systems, while pushing design thinking with thoughtful enhancements.
  • Create reusable Figma components, animated interactions, and responsive layouts.
  • Prepare print-ready files for production, including specs for collateral and large-format environmental installations.
  • Collaborate with project managers and developers to bring concepts to life with fidelity and function.
  • Present and rationalize design solutions with internal teams and occasionally with clients.

Core Skills & Experience /

  • 5+ years of professional design experience, ideally with a focus on branding, digital campaigns, and hospitality or luxury lifestyle sectors.
  • Strong typographic sensibility and a clean, elevated aesthetic.
  • Expertise in applying and evolving brand systems.
  • Familiarity with working under (and enhancing) creative direction and existing brand parameters.

Tools & Software Proficiency /

Must-Have:

  • Figma (component creation, prototyping, responsive design, interaction animation)
  • Adobe Creative Suite:
    • Photoshop (design, layout, photo editing)
    • Illustrator (vector design and brand elements)
    • InDesign (layout, print design and packaged deliverables)
    • Animate (banner ads, HTML/JS output) - Google Slides & Apple Keynote - Canva (quick-turn collateral adaptation)

Nice-to-Have:

  • Email design & template creation using tools like Revinate, Mailchimp, or Salesforce Marketing Cloud
  • Basic video editing in DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro

Contract Details /

  • Engagement Type: Freelance / Contract (1099)*
  • Time Commitment: ~20 hours per week (hours may fluctuate by project volume)
  • Compensation: Hourly, competitive based on experience
  • Location: Fully remote, with flexibility across time zones (U.S.-based preferred)

*As a 1099 independent contractor you must invoice for services. This is not an employee position, and this role is part-time and project-based, with hours varying depending on workload. You’ll set and manage your own schedule. Candidates must have their own design tools and software. Ideally, candidates are already operating as a freelancer or have a contract-based business established.
