Visual Design Lead
Role Overview
This senior-level Visual Design Lead owns Mercor's brand identity across campaigns, web, social, events, and internal touchpoints, translating complex AI and talent concepts into compelling visual systems. Working closely with marketing, product, recruiting, and leadership, the hire will create high-impact assets like landing pages, decks, ads, illustrations, and product marketing visuals while building scalable templates and guidelines. The role offers significant creative ownership and impact on how a fast-growing AI company tells its story globally.
Perks & Benefits
The position is listed as remote, though Mercor notes its team works in-person five days a week in San Francisco, NYC, or London, so candidates should expect an office-based culture despite the remote tag. Benefits include a generous four-year equity grant, up to $15k relocation plus a $10K housing bonus for living near the office, a $1.5K monthly meal stipend, free Equinox membership, and monthly laundry and wellness reimbursements. Health, dental, and vision insurance are provided, and joining a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion offers strong growth potential alongside a high creative bar.
