Freelance Opportunities at Workhorse

We have a couple of exciting upcoming projects—and we want to hire some creative freelancers to help us get the work done! We’re looking for graphic designers for ongoing projects and a social media writer for a client making a difference in Pittsburgh. As always, once we have someone on a gig, if we’re a good fit for each other we’re happy to keep throwing them more.

Interested? We want to hear what you’re good at, what you’ve worked on, and what you hope to do with Workhorse. We promise we’ll always acknowledge receipt and will never leave you hanging.

To learn more about what it's like to freelance with Workhorse check out our recent blog post about how things work around here.

Social Media Writer

We’re looking for a creative, skilled writer who can adapt their voice to fit a unique client based in Pittsburgh. This client is an inclusive community healthcare provider that specializes in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment and also offers primary care and other health services. As the social media writer, you can help a critical local organization share its inclusive approach to medicine with the wider community, connecting prospective clients with the inclusive, holistic care that everybody deserves.

• Fully remote
• Mostly asynchronous with quarterly daytime meetings

• Apply by October 18th

Since this client works closely with the LGBTQ+ community, we are hoping to hire someone who is part of, or closely familiar with, Pittsburgh’s LGBTQ+ community. In addition to an alignment with the audience, we’re looking for:

Strong writing, proofing, and grammatical skills
Experience working on social media content
Familiarity with brand voice or willingness to learn
Ability to meet deadlines and communicate effectively
Based in Pittsburgh or at least familiar with the region
Understanding of “call to action” marketing is a plus

Kickoff session December 2023.
Ongoing, monthly social media support for client to begin posting February 1, 2024.
- Using existing content pillars and marketing calendar, plan and write copy for 2 posts/week for Facebook and Instagram, delivered monthly and in advance. This scope does not include designing creative, scheduling content, or managing comments.
  - Optimize captions for each platform
  - Ensure copy is relevant, engaging, thoughtful, and on brand
  - Develop an understanding of the personality and communication style of the client
Quarterly meetings led by Workhorse Partner to include:
- Review of key performance indicators
- Discussion of next quarter's priorities
- Upcoming client communications needs

Graphic Designers

We’re looking for early-career designers who can translate existing creative concepts into polished digital assets in Canva for a range of platforms, including social media and digital advertising. We’ll also have an occasional print piece, like posters or print ads, but this role will focus primarily on digital design. And if you have motion graphics skills, we’d love to hear about it.

You’ll work with a range of clients, from independent entrepreneurs and makers to established arts organizations. One of the great things about working with so many arts clients is that the creative is never, ever boring or corporate.

• Fully remote
• 100% asynchronous

• Accepting applications on a rolling basis

You don’t need to develop creative concepts, so this is a great fit for designers who are looking to gain experience and work under the creative direction of a marketer and graphic designer with 15 years of experience (that’s Workhorse Partner Emily Willson!). We’re looking for:

Experience designing for different platforms using Canva
Understanding of design best practices for social media, digital ads, and print pieces
Based in the U.S.
Experience with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, light video editing, or motion graphics is a plus
