M3 Group Seeks Graphic Designer for Remote Role Supporting US Eastern Time Zone
The Japanese healthcare technology firm M3 Group is seeking a Graphic Designer to support its marketing and communications efforts, with a specific requirement for the candidate to work within US Eastern Time Zone hours. The position, which focuses on B2B and internal communications, will involve designing multichannel campaigns across multiple M3-owned businesses.
M3 Group, a global leader in providing technological and research solutions to the healthcare industry, operates in the US, Asia, and Europe, boasting a network of over 5.8 million physician members through platforms like mdlinx.com, m3.com, and Doctors.net.uk. The company is publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and was featured in Forbes’ Global 2000 list in 2020.
The Graphic Designer role centers on delivering creative design solutions that drive conversion goals. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with other designers, marketing teams, and internal stakeholders to develop campaigns tailored to specific audiences. While the role will involve ownership of marketing activities for designated teams and brands, it also requires participation in broader marketing initiatives across the organization.
A key focus for this position is social media design, particularly for platforms like LinkedIn. Experience with digital publishing layouts, video editing, and animation are also highly valued. The designer will be responsible for creating a range of marketing collateral, including trade show materials, web graphics, email campaigns (using Hubspot), infographics, and video content.
The role requires proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (including After Effects, Premiere Pro, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop), Canva, and Microsoft Office. Familiarity with WordPress for website updates and Hubspot for email marketing is also essential. The designer will be expected to contribute to improving user experience and accessibility across brand websites.
According to the job description, the Graphic Designer will support the design function across the M3MR Group’s portfolio of brands and internal programs, ensuring that accessibility best practices are observed. Collaboration with internal teams will be crucial to meeting day-to-day deliverables.
Demand for Remote Work and Time Zone Considerations
The search for remote positions, particularly those aligned with specific time zones, is a growing trend. A recent discussion on the Reddit forum r/WFH highlighted the increasing number of remote job opportunities, with many concentrated on the US West Coast. One user, based in Ohio (Eastern Time Zone), noted the plentiful availability of remote roles but also the potential challenges of a significant time difference. This underscores the importance of companies like M3 Group explicitly stating time zone requirements.
Indeed.com currently lists over 600 remote job openings requiring or preferring candidates in the Eastern Time Zone, spanning fields like technology, administration, and customer service. Experts at Revelo emphasize that remote teams are more productive when team members share overlapping work hours, rather than operating in completely opposite time zones. This suggests a strategic consideration for companies building distributed teams.
M3 Group’s explicit requirement for a designer working within US Eastern Time Zone hours suggests an understanding of these dynamics, aiming to facilitate effective collaboration and communication within its teams. The company currently has offices in Japan, the UK, France, Germany, Brazil, Sweden, China, the USA, South Korea, and India.
The position requires at least three years of design experience, preferably in a B2B environment. Candidates should possess a strong understanding of general design principles, including designing for WordPress websites, Hubspot email templates, video and animation, social media (particularly LinkedIn), digital publishing layouts, and data visualization/infographics.
The job posting includes the hashtags #LI-LC1 and #LI-Remote, indicating the position is being advertised through LinkedIn’s recruitment platform and is a remote opportunity. As of , there are no Corporate jobs listed on the M3 USA careers page.
