Remote Freelance Graphic Designer - Multi-Channel Campaigns

We’re interested in hearing from designers and artworkers with a range of expertise, from specialists in editorial artworking and production design to creative designers experienced in developing visual concepts and applying them across multiple channels. Assignments will vary in scope and complexity, and we'll match work to your skills and experience. This could include short pieces of work, larger projects or ongoing support, depending on business need. This is a remote opportunity. We work with freelancers on an ad hoc basis, with assignments agreed as and when required.

Ways of working

Please note: Joining the pool does not guarantee that work will be offered, and each engagement will be agreed separately. This engagement is offered on a self-employed basis. The appointed freelancer will have autonomy over how the work is delivered, working to agreed outcomes and timelines. They will not be subject to traditional line management but will liaise with a named Oak contact to ensure alignment, share progress, and agree priorities across the engagement period.
