Are comfortable working directly with clients, production, and artists Know how to balance creative, budget, and schedule We’re looking for a freelance Graphics Coordinator who can bridge between Production and the Design team while keeping the work moving at a high level. This role is less about making the art and more about understanding what the story needs, how to achieve it, turning that into a clear plan, assigning the right people, and ensuring the work lands properly.

This is project-based contract work tied to active productions, with the goal of building an ongoing working relationship with the right person. Many of the people we work with stay in rotation across multiple productions because they are reliable, thoughtful, and strong under pressure.
