Looking for a remote role where your creativity meets independence? OLCO Design is expanding, and we are searching for a Senior Graphic Designer who can lead, innovate, and push boundaries in the professional services sector.
OLCO is on a mission to help professional services firms (like banks, investment managers, law firms, and many other service-based brands) leverage their brand as a point of difference in increasingly competitive markets — and this is where you come in.
The position of Senior Graphic Designer at OLCO Design is the dream role for you, if you are:

Your working hours can be relatively flexible around your lifestyle, which can be discussed with you at the interview stage.
