About Us

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 join a performance creative agency that produces scroll-stopping static ads for e-commerce brands in health, apparel, pet, and fitness, so those brands can scale their ad spend profitably. Their style is unconventional and humor-driven, and every ad they ship starts on a designer's screen. You'll design ads using a range of typography styles and layouts that stop the scroll and communicate fast. The role leans 80% independent work with focused collaboration alongside other designers. This is a senior seat on an established design team: the brief and the daily quota are the same as for every designer, and what sets you apart is the level of craft you bring to each composite and how quickly you get there. Success looks like consistently hitting weekly quotas of approved designs with minimal revisions 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; use 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 to 10 composites per day consistently while maintaining design quality
• Iterate based on feedback, simplifying messages to what matters most
• Bring a senior creative point of view to ad concepting, pushing past safe executions and contributing ideas that improve performance, not just polish
• Communicate timelines, blockers, and tradeoffs proactively through written channels (Slack, email)

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of graphic design experience with ad creative at the centre of it, and a portfolio of shipped ads 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
• A track record of sustained daily output at a creative agency or DTC brand. We are looking for people who have held a pace like this for months, not people who think they could
• Excellent spoken and written English: clear, precise, and professional on Slack and on calls 
• A strong opinion on what makes ads convert, not just what looks good. Able to push back on briefs and propose stronger directions
• Experience creating advertisements is required; Facebook or paid social experience 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 to 10 composites per day)
• Quality bar maintained across composites, with minimal revision cycles and consistent on-brand execution
• 30/60/90 ramp: by 30 days, at full daily quota with consistent quality; by 60 days, among the lowest revision rates on the team and contributing creative direction beyond brief execution; by 90 days, trusted with the most demanding briefs and new brand launches
• Regular check-ins (weekly/monthly) to review output quality, flag blockers, and align on priorities

What You Get

• Starts from $2,000 USD/month, with room for more for exceptional talent
• 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
