Looking for a remote job for creatives? We've compiled a list of the best places to browse remote jobs within the creative space

Looking for a remote job in the creative space? In this article you will find the best job boards for remote creative work, from niche platforms for freelancers to invite-only communities for senior talent. While there are plenty of mainstream job search engines out there - we all know the ones - there are a lot of lesser known job boards and platforms designed specifically for creatives on the lookout for freelance, full-time, and contractual jobs.
Of course, finding the job is only half the equation. If you're wondering how other creatives made the leap to full-time remote work, these stories from Outsite members are worth a read before you start applying.

A one stop shop for creatives to find opportunities and connect with a likeminded and inspiring community.
Jobs are curated and sent out in a weekly newsletter to over 33,000 subscribers rather than just posted on a board and forgotten. Skills and roles range from art director to marketing designer and UX design, with a wide range of talent. It also has a Creative Directory where you can build a profile that reads like an interview rather than a CV, which hiring managers actively browse.
Ilovecreatives has a job board, they host online events, and offer many helpful resources from freelancing tools to website templates - genuinely useful if you're building out a freelance practice.
Dribble is a fully remote company, connecting all types of designers with companies worldwide. They've worked on a job board that attracts serious employers — Apple, Slack, and InVision have all hired through it. What makes it useful beyond just job listings is that your portfolio lives right there alongside your applications; recruiters browsing the board can click straight through to your work. Best for mid-to-senior level designers.
One insider note: the free tier delivers considerably less visibility than it used to — for real job-seeking traction, the Pro plan at $8/month is worth it, as it unlocks full job board access and analytics.
At its core, Girlboss is a community based platform created for women to connect and progress both personally and professionally. Their job board is updated daily with remote and location based jobs and especially user friendly, allowing you to search by category and location.
Beyond the listings, the site has career guides, success stories, and editorial content that's worth reading while you're in job-search mode. Good for early-to-mid career creatives who want to work in companies with inclusive cultures.
Owned by Adobe, Behance is where employers go when they want to see the thinking behind the work, not just the final output. Many people know it as an online portfolio website, but Behance also has employment listings for creative professionals worldwide. Search by keyword and filter for field, location, and employment type. While there's a range of creative job openings available, there is a strong focus on design and photography roles, and one of the few platforms where universities post calls for creative faculty too. If your portfolio is already on Behance, setting up job alerts takes minutes.
One of the longer-running creative platforms, Creative Pool is popular with agencies and studios rather than in-house teams. Good for project-based and freelance work in addition to full-time roles. Creatives can post their portfolios, find project based work, connect with agents, and browse opportunities globally. If you're looking to get onto an agency's radar rather than apply cold, this is a solid place to have an active profile.
The Dots is one of the largest and fastest-growing creative job boards and networking sites. This job board features high-level creative jobs within the UK and Europe. It's great for finding creative and tech jobs for designers, artists, writers, developers, and freelance professionals.
It goes beyond a job board — the platform hosts events and workshops to help users upskill and advance their careers. Companies like Google, Burberry, and M&C Saatchi use it to find talent. Best if you're based in or targeting the UK/European market; less useful if you're exclusively looking for US roles.
Connect with big agencies or boutique studios through If You Could's job board, a curated job board with a strong reputation in the design and branding world. They post hundreds of jobs and opportunities throughout the creative industry. This is an especially great place for freelancers and those on the hunt for full time jobs to browse relevant job openings.
Good at the mid-to-senior level if you want roles at places that take craft seriously. Not the highest volume board, but what's there tends to be quality.
This New York City based creative agency is women-owned, and dedicated to facilitating connections between creatives of color, and businesses. They aim to celebrate culture and champion diversity in the workplace. Their job board features US location based and remote opportunities throughout the creative industry. Worth bookmarking if diversity and representation in the workplace are factors in where you want to work — the companies posting here are signalling that they actively seek it.
One of the oldest dedicated creative job boards (since 2005). Particularly strong for the overlap between design and technology: if you're a designer who codes, a UX researcher, or a creative technologist, this is one of the better-fit boards out there.
Authentic Jobs serves big and small companies alike as they work to fill their creative positions. Around 100,000 visits a month from job seekers, which means decent employer investment in listings. This is an especially useful site if you're on the lookout for design and marketing positions. It's US-based, and their job board includes full time, contractual, remote, and internships.
The most niche entry on this list. While the majority of postings here are aimed towards instructors, there are quite a few opportunities available to creatives (think: photography, video, social media, and the like).
Most listings are structured as skill exchanges rather than salaried roles — think: produce photography for a retreat centre in Bali in exchange for accommodation and meals. Paid remote roles do appear, but they're the exception. Worth checking if you're a creative who wants to travel, build a portfolio in unusual settings, or supplement income between contracts. Not the place to look for a stable full-time role, but genuinely unique for the right person at the right stage.
Once you've landed something, the next question is where to actually do the work. A remote creative job gives you real flexibility, and the 150 remote companies hiring right now aren't going anywhere. Whether you're thinking about setting up a temporary base abroad (the digital nomad visa guide covers 70+ countries) or just want to find a community of people working the same way you do, Outsite's blog has the practical side covered.
