Theoria Creative is hiring: Senior Visual Designer, Web in New York

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 Brand and Web Designer who combines strong conceptual thinking with hands-on execution across web, branding, and marketing design.
You will develop ideas, create visual directions, and execute high-quality designs across web, digital, and light print formats, working primarily in Creative Suite and Figma. 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

Strong portfolio showcasing concept-driven work across web pages and UI layouts, icon sets and visual systems, branding, and marketing collateral - work must be verifiable as the candidate's own
Expert command of Figma, including components, Auto Layout, and developer-ready files - Figma is the primary tool for this role
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
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
