About the Opportunity

Rosie's People is supporting a specialist social media strategy consultancy to identify talented freelance creative support for client content delivery.

The work needs to feel social-first, engaging, relatable, polished where needed, and suitable for audiences across the UK and US.

We are seeking a Social Media Graphic Designer who can create high-quality carousel content, social graphics and templates for client social media channels.

The ideal candidate will understand how to design content that performs on platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok, while maintaining strong readability, visual clarity and brand consistency.

This role is fully remote and suitable for candidates based outside the UK, provided they can demonstrate excellent English, strong creative judgement and reliable delivery.

1. Are you available for remote freelance work on an ongoing monthly basis?
2. What are your compensation rate expectations per month for a full time/40 hours a week gig? (You must provide a specific figure or range. Responses such as market rate, negotiable or open to discussion will result in automatic disqualification.)
