Mint Source is a remote-first bridge that connects vibrant talent with international clients and agencies, enabling skilled individuals to showcase their expertise on a global stage.

Role Overview

Mint Source is hiring a Senior Graphic Designer (Static Ads) to support a performance marketing agency that scales e-commerce brands through full-funnel ad campaigns and in-house creative production. You'll design ads using various styles of typography and layouts that stop the scroll and communicate fast. The role leans 80% independent work with focused collaboration alongside other designers, and as a senior on the team, you'll help raise the craft bar, share patterns that speed production, and bring a sharper creative POV to ad concepting. Success looks like consistently hitting weekly quotas of approved designs while maintaining quality, consistency, and speed. It's a great fit if you enjoy rapid creative testing, smart constraints, and using AI extensively to accelerate your work.

What You'll Do

• Design static ad creatives that use strong typography, hierarchy, and layout to drive attention and clarity
• Translate simple briefs and brand guidelines into multiple on-brand variations for testing
• Use Photoshop as your primary design tool for fast, precise production and retouching; leverage Figma as a secondary tool for layout systems and feedback
• Use AI tools extensively to ideate, explore styles, and generate efficient variations without sacrificing craft
• Produce 9-10 composites per day consistently while maintaining design quality
• Iterate based on feedback, simplifying messages to what matters most
• Bring a senior creative POV to ad concepting, pushing past safe executions and contributing ideas that improve performance, not just polish
• Help raise the craft bar across the design team by sharing patterns, templates, and best practices that speed production
• Communicate timelines, blockers, and tradeoffs proactively through written channels (Slack, email)

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of graphic design experience, with a portfolio that highlights ad creatives or conversion-minded visuals across multiple brands or categories
• High proficiency in Photoshop (this is your must-have tool) for compositing, typography, and rapid iteration under deadlines
• Comfort working in Figma for layouts, components, and collaborative reviews
• Fluent use of AI tools in your design process, with a body of AI-assisted work in your portfolio. You'll be using AI extensively with this team, and we want someone with a clear point of view on where it adds value and where it doesn't
• Experience creating advertisements is required; Facebook or paid social experience is a plus
• A strong opinion on what makes ads convert, not just what looks good. Able to push back on briefs and propose stronger directions
• Evidence of leading, mentoring, or setting standards for other designers is a plus
• Thoughtful and methodical approach, balancing creativity with disciplined file hygiene and consistency
• Calm under pressure with strong prioritization skills to meet daily and weekly quotas without cutting corners
• Clear written communicator who thrives in an 80% independent, 20% collaborative workflow and welcomes feedback

Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)

• Number of approved designs shipped per week, consistently meeting agreed targets (9-10 composites/day)
• Quality bar maintained across composites, with minimal revision cycles and consistent on-brand execution
• Contribution to team craft standards, including patterns, templates, or feedback that improve output across other designers
• 30/60/90 ramp: by 30 days, ramped to full daily quota with consistent quality; by 60 days, contributing creative direction beyond brief execution; by 90 days, recognized as a craft leader on the team and influencing how the wider design pod ships work
• Regular check-ins (weekly/monthly) to review output quality, flag blockers, and align on priorities

What You Get

• $1,600-1,800 USD/month based on experience
• Remote-first setup with clear priorities, structured feedback loops, and regularly scheduled check-ins
• High-volume, real-world projects that sharpen your eye for performance and messaging
• Autonomy to own your work, plus collaboration with a skilled design team
• Opportunities to grow your AI-enabled design toolkit and build scalable creative systems
• International exposure through Mint Source's network and a predictable work schedule
• Back-office support from Mint Source for payroll, onboarding, and HR
