Job description

Mustard specialises in lead generation for startups and scaleups in Singapore. We leverage conversion‑focused SEO and Ad strategies to help businesses achieve their KPIs consistently and predictably.

We've gained some serious momentum this year and are looking for a Senior Designer to join us to continue to fuel our growth and the growth of our clients.

What will you be doing?

• Creating thoughtful, quality visual creatives (e.g., article infographics, ad creatives, landing page wireframes) for both Mustard’s marketing efforts and client projects.
• Maintaining standards of excellence within the department.
• Applying design principles to your work, guided by client brand guidelines and requirements – rather than letting what’s trendy define your output.
• Using creative tools to design creatives – Adobe Creative Suite (AI, PS, AE, Premiere Pro), Figma, Canva. Familiarity with these software is a given, as there will be little opportunity to learn them from scratch.
• Experience in Procreate and Adobe's AI Image generation feature is a huge plus.

Who you are

• You have a strong technical design foundation, particularly a sense of layout, hierarchy, white space, contrast, grid systems.
• You require minimal guidance to apply these principles appropriately.
• Every design decision has a clear thought process, rooted in design rules, UX principles, concepts; you don’t add/omit things just because 'it feels nicer this way'.
• You take the effort to understand the intention and context surrounding each deliverable – user flow, objective of this creative piece, placement (mobile vs desktop) – and make design decisions based on these insights.
• You’re familiar with balancing between excellence, client needs, and time.
• You’re comfortable articulating your design decisions/reasonings in a collaborative manner that non‑designers can understand.
• You’re comfortable working with creative briefs, turning those requests (made by non‑designers) into creative outputs.
• You enjoy working independently, managing your own timelines and workload in collaboration with our Client Success team (Project management).
• You’re comfortable switching between a few accounts (and their contexts/design requirements) within a day.
• Having experience working in an agency and/or past B2B design work is a huge plus.
• You’re open to learning, and admitting you may not always have the best answer.
• You prioritise the best outcome over personal opinions, seniority, etc.
• You have a good command of English, and are comfortable communicating (both written and spoken) in professional contexts.

Why work with Mustard

We are on a mission to help local businesses grow, and we are redefining the lead generation model to reflect that.

We're looking for the minds to help us do it. If you’re interested in being part of this journey, we provide a remote‑first work culture and a competitive salary (commensurate with experience).

How to apply

• Your updated resume with a short introduction of yourself ()
• Your expected salary
• Why you are interested in this position
• Some of your best portfolio – particularly for infographics, ad creatives, websites, social media posts and videos, illustrations
