Freelance Web Designer

Acorns is seeking a seasoned freelance designer to help bring the Acorns brand to life across CRM and web. You'll design emails, web experiences, and work with squirrels (a lot). You’ll need to be just as comfortable zooming out to understand the “why” as you are zooming in to finesse the details. One day might be a sprint on a new landing page. The next, a round of CRM designs in Figma. If you can bounce between projects, self-manage with confidence, and bring ideas to the table, you’ll fit right in.

This contractor role is for a duration of 2 months, requiring 40 hours of work per week. Acorns is a remote-first organization, offering the flexibility to work remotely within the United States, while providing optional access to office space in Irvine, CA.

What you will do at Acorns:

- Design email campaigns in Figma that reflect our brand and drive impact

- Partner on website updates, new pages, and design explorations

- Interpret briefs, connect the dots, and carry work from concept to handoff

- Design with clarity, always putting the customer first

- Bonus if you can bring some illustration magic to the table

What you will bring to Acorns:

- 5+ years of design experience

- Pro-level Figma skills and organization and strong visual instincts

- Strategic thinker with a hands-on maker mindset

- Clear communicator and collaborative partner

- Organized, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-moving environment

- Thirst for delivering game-changing products

- Exceptional drive and precision in delivery

- A belief that your work is tied to your life's mission

- Optimistic about the potential of societal change

You are not expected to have experience with all listed requirements. If you feel passionate about Acorns' mission, vision, and values, please apply.

What we offer:
