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 Production Designer 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. You take supplied images and rough compositions and turn them into polished ads. Most of the time you will have a starting point: compositions reach you about 90% done, and your job is to clean them up, improve the layout, and adapt them to the required size. You are not necessarily making creative decisions here. This is a heavy production role, and you will do it at a high volume, so your workflow matters as much as your eye for design. The team expects around 20 finished compositions a day as a minimum. One composition is one unique visual; size cuts and copy variants of the same visual count once. The agency has tested this workflow with several designers, and some already produce more than 20 a day. The target has to be achievable within normal working hours: if it regularly took 11-hour days or left people burned out, the workflow would not be doing its job. You will work closely with a design lead and alongside about ten other designers.

What You'll Do

• Take supplied 4:5 compositions and extend them to 9:16, adapting each one to the required size
• Remove unwanted image-generation details and artifacts, and clean up the image
• Replace generated text with the intended copy
• Refine the layout and visual finish, then prepare the final asset
• Build and use repeatable workflows to complete the work efficiently and keep up with the volume within normal working hours
• Take feedback from your design lead, apply it to your work, and work closely with your teammates
• Deliver around 20 finished compositions a day as a minimum. The assessment will show you what each composition involves and the level of finish the team expects

What We're Looking For

• Visual taste and creativity: you can tell when a design looks right and see what needs fixing when it does not
• Production experience and speed: you have done enough design work to move quickly and still deliver a polished result
• Workflow-building ability: you look for ways to make repetitive work faster, and you can build a workflow that helps you keep up with the volume within normal working hours
• You have started using AI and are willing to learn how to use it more effectively in your design work
• Coachability and collaboration: you take feedback well, apply it to your work, and work closely with your design lead and teammates
• Confident in Photoshop or Figma, whichever gets you to a clean finish faster
• Working English for day-to-day communication with the team
• A plus: you have used tools such as Figma MCP or AI computer control to automate parts of your work or speed up production

Key Performance Metrics (KPIs)

• Finished compositions per day: around 20 a day as a minimum, within normal working hours
• Level of finish: every composition at the standard the assessment will show you
• Workflow: a repeatable workflow of your own that keeps up with the volume within normal working hours
• 30/60/90 ramp: by 30 days, working the team's workflow end to end; by 60 days, at the daily minimum within normal working hours; by 90 days, holding it consistently

What You Get

• Starts from $2,000 USD/month, with room above for exceptional candidates
• A clear, predictable production workflow
• A design lead who gives you feedback and helps you succeed, and about ten designers to work alongside and learn from
• Bonuses when you produce more than the minimum required designs
• Opportunities to lead other designers as the team grows
• Back-office support from Mint Source for payments, onboarding, and people support
