About The Position

The Lead Graphic Designer is a senior, hands-on design lead responsible for creating and improving commercial visual work across ecommerce brands. The role spans product imagery, packaging, occasional advertising creatives, AI-generated imagery, and text-in-image design. The designer will also review other designers’ work, provide clear and actionable feedback, and help maintain and raise overall brand visual quality. The position requires ownership of design problems from concept through final execution, strong commercial judgment, and a proactive approach to identifying and recommending improvements. This is not a role primarily focused on logo creation. Compensation is $4–$20 per hour plus performance bonuses; the posting says monthly earnings can be doubled with bonuses. Applicants should submit a portfolio, a short introduction describing ecommerce or product design experience, examples of relevant work, and details of experience leading, reviewing, or mentoring other designers.
