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 an Email Designer to join a Canadian email and SMS marketing agency that works with e-commerce brands. You'll own the visual side of client email programs, producing polished, on-brand designs at a steady daily volume using Figma. Working from fresh templates and an existing template library, you'll translate each client's brand into designs that convert, while staying close to the team through Slack and ClickUp. You'll research the brands and competitors you design for, spot opportunities to optimize, and turn revisions around quickly, sometimes same-day. This role matters because design is where a client's brand comes to life in the inbox, and your eye directly shapes how their customers engage.
What You'll Do
- Design 8 to 12 email designs per day, combining fresh templates with adaptations of existing ones, all built in Figma.
- Translate each client's brand identity into clean, high-quality email designs that feel native to their voice and audience.
- Research the brands and market competitors you design for, pulling inspiration and staying current with what's working in their space.
- Identify areas for revision and optimization across designs, proactively flagging ways to improve.
- Handle edits and revisions promptly, including same-day turnarounds when a client needs a fast change.
- Manage your design tasks and deadlines through ClickUp, keeping work organized and visible.
- Communicate progress, questions, and updates clearly over Slack and written channels.
- Collaborate with strategists and account leads to make sure each design supports the campaign goal.
- Use AI image generation and design tools (e.g. Gemini, generative fill) to create, extend, and refine visual assets, speeding up production without sacrificing brand quality.
What We're Looking For
- 1+ year of experience in email design, with a portfolio that shows strong, high-quality work.
- Proficiency in Figma is essential, since it's the primary design tool for this role.
- Comfortable working in Slack and ClickUp for communication and task management.
- A sharp eye for design and the instinct to draw inspiration from brand and competitor research.
- Genuinely keeps up with email design trends and enjoys learning new things on the design side.
- Open to feedback and edits, with the ability to turn revisions around quickly without losing quality.
- Comfortable being client-facing and communicating clearly in writing.
- Thoughtful and methodical, with strong attention to detail across a high daily volume.
- Proficient with AI design tools, including image generation (e.g. Gemini, Midjourney, or similar), and comfortable folding them into a daily design workflow.
Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)
- Consistently deliver 8 to 12 quality designs per day that meet each client's brand standards.
- Demonstrate clear brand and market research informing the designs produced for each client.
- Proactively surface areas for revision and optimization rather than waiting for them to be flagged.
- Turn around edits promptly, including same-day requests, without repeated quality issues.
- 30/60/90-day ramp: by day 30, hit daily design volume with light supervision and absorb each client's brand guidelines; by day 60, work independently across accounts with research built into the process; by day 90, own your client designs end to end and consistently spot optimization opportunities on your own.
What You Get
- A fully remote role with a written-first, async-friendly team culture.
- Autonomy over your design work, with roughly 80% independent focus time.
- Regular, structured feedback through weekly and monthly check-ins.
- Room to grow your craft while working across a variety of e-commerce and B2B brands.
- Back-office support from Mint Source for payroll, onboarding, and HR.
