The role of a Corporate Designer — Project Style at Mercor

About the role

Mercor is hiring Corporate Designers for Project Style — an aesthetics project in which experts review sets of AI-generated knowledge-work deliverables (decks, docs, spreadsheets, PDFs) and rework the strongest one until it’s genuinely well-made, on both content and design.

Your work directly shapes how AI models produce polished, publish-ready knowledge work — the kind of output a consulting firm, investment bank, or in-house design team would send to a client without embarrassment.

What you’ll do

  • Compare AI-generated versions of the same deliverable and score them across layout & spacing, typography, colour, domain realism, and polish
  • Take the strongest candidate and rework it to reference quality
  • Provide clear justifications tied to specific layout evidence (alignment, spacing, balance, grouping, density)
  • Bring your design judgment to real corporate client materials

You’re a good fit if you

  • Have a background as a designer, marketing/comms professional, or knowledge-work specialist — management consulting, investment banking, in-house corporate design, agency work, and marcom all fit
  • Spot subtle layout inconsistencies most people miss: alignment gaps, unequal card heights, dead space, margin discipline
  • Are opinionated about what “good” looks like in a business deliverable and can articulate it in writing
  • Care about how work is presented, not just what it says

Rate and commitment

  • $80/hour, hourly
  • Approximately 15 hours per week
  • Fully remote

Screening

  • Submit your resume and complete the Corporate Designer calibration assessment (~45 minutes)
  • The assessment measures how well your ratings of real deliverables track against a calibrated answer key on the layout & spacing axis

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

Contract and Payment Terms

  • You will be engaged as an independent contractor.
  • This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.
  • Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
  • Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
  • Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
  • Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
