Your Skills Can Change the World: 2 Remote Opportunities at Design Action Collective
Are you looking for a creative career where your professional skills can contribute to social change? Design Action Collective is currently inviting talented professionals to join its team, with two opportunities available: Graphic Designer and Design Department Coordinator / Project Manager.
For professionals interested in design, communications, project management, and social-impact work, these positions offer an opportunity to work within a collective organization that combines creative services with a strong commitment to social justice.
About Design Action Collective
Design Action Collective is a worker-owned design organization that uses creative skills to support social movements and organizations working for social change. The collective provides services including graphic design, web design and development, branding, video production, and other creative communications support.
The organization describes its workplace as one where employees can use their skills to contribute to social change while also participating in shaping their own working environment.
One of the distinctive features of Design Action is its worker-ownership model. New employees initially enter a nine-month candidacy period, during which they receive support from a supervisor and a buddy. After successfully completing this period, they can become worker-owners and participate in the democratic management and development of the organization.
1. Graphic Designer
The Graphic Designer opportunity is particularly relevant for creative professionals with experience developing visual communications for campaigns, organizations, brands, or social movements.
The role is part of Design Action’s creative team and provides an opportunity to contribute design expertise to projects focused on social change.
Candidates interested in this position should have strong graphic design abilities and be comfortable working collaboratively. Experience creating materials for nonprofit organizations, advocacy campaigns, social movements, or mission-driven organizations can be particularly valuable.
Because Design Action works with a range of clients and projects, the position may provide exposure to different creative challenges and opportunities to develop a broad professional portfolio.
2. Design Department Coordinator / Project Manager
The Design Department Coordinator / Project Manager position is another current opportunity at Design Action Collective.
This role may appeal to professionals who combine organizational and project management skills with an understanding of creative work. Project management within a design environment requires strong communication, organization, scheduling, coordination, and problem-solving abilities.
The successful candidate would work within the design department and help coordinate projects and processes while supporting effective collaboration between team members.
Professionals with experience managing creative projects, coordinating teams, communicating with clients, tracking deadlines, or organizing workflows may find this opportunity particularly interesting.
Remote and Flexible Working
One of the major attractions of working with Design Action Collective is its flexible, remote schedule.
The organization lists remote flexibility among the benefits available to candidates. This can provide employees with greater flexibility in organizing their work while still collaborating with colleagues and clients.
However, international applicants should carefully review the individual job descriptions before applying. Although the organization offers remote schedules, the available information does not necessarily mean that every position can be performed from anywhere in the world. Applicants outside the United States should therefore confirm location and work-authorization requirements.
Employee Benefits
Design Action Collective offers a range of benefits to support employees both professionally and personally.
Starting benefits for candidates include:
- Flexible remote schedules
- Generous paid time off
- Full health, dental, and vision insurance
- Flexible Spending Account access
- Dependent Care Account access
- Professional development opportunities
- Political education and anti-oppression workshops
- Opportunities to participate in professional and political networks
- Conference participation
- Union membership through the Pacific Media Guild and Communication Workers of America
Over time, employees can also gain access to additional benefits, including participation in democratic decision-making, professional development in business management and supervision, profit-sharing through patronage, and a 401(k) retirement plan.
Who Should Apply?
These opportunities may be suitable for professionals with backgrounds in:
- Graphic design
- Visual communications
- Digital design
- Creative project management
- Project coordination
- Communications
- Branding
- Social-impact organizations
- Nonprofit communications
- Campaigns and advocacy
Applicants should also be comfortable working collaboratively and contributing to a mission-driven workplace.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
What makes Design Action Collective particularly distinctive is its emphasis on worker ownership and democratic participation. Rather than simply joining a traditional employer, successful candidates can eventually become worker-owners with a role in decisions affecting workplace culture, policies, and projects.
For creative professionals who want their work to have a social impact, this model can provide an opportunity to combine career development with meaningful organizational participation.
How to Apply
Design Action Collective currently lists both the Graphic Designer and Design Department Coordinator / Project Manager positions on its official careers page.
Interested candidates should review the full requirements for their preferred position, confirm their eligibility, prepare an updated CV/resume and portfolio where appropriate, and follow the organization’s application instructions.

For international applicants, it is especially important to verify whether the position accepts applications from candidates outside the United States and whether any work-authorization restrictions apply.
If you have experience in graphic design, project management, or creative communications and want to work for an organization focused on social change, these Design Action Collective opportunities are worth exploring.
